Syndies fiddle and diddle

Not much happening either way for syndicated game shows in the week ending August 14. TVNewsCheck runs through the blah numbers anyway. It's what they get paid to do...



Wheel of Fortune 6.1 - up one entire tick

Jeopardy 5.0 - down one entire tick, an equal and opposite reaction to the soulmate

Family Feud 2.5 - down a tick

Millionaire 2.3 - flat

5th Grader 1.0 - flat and slowly fading

Lyrics 0.8 - down a tick and mostly faded out



I've pretty much given up on TVNewser and TV by the Numbers for the cable ranker and the syndie viewership chart. But if anything pops on the sites, I'll let you know.



I shouldn't have doubted at least one of the sites. The viewership averages from TV by the Numbers: Wheel of Fortune 9.3 million (weekend repeat 4.0 million), Jeopardy 7.6 million, Family Feud 3.8 million. Meredith just missed out on their top 25 list.
