Ratings: Wheel hits another season high

TVNewsCheck reveals that Wheel of Fortune hit another season high for the week of January 14-20. Otherwise the news was blah for syndicated game shows, though hardly terrible. Family Feud backed off a little from its series high the week before, but the other shows kept on keeping on...

Wheel of Fortune 7.7 - up a tick to the aforementioned season high...and the NBA arrives soon

Jeopardy 6.8 - flat but Alex can live off this number

Family Feud 5.1 - down three ticks but doing fine

Millionaire 2.4 - flat, is Cedric coming?

Baggage 1.2 - flat, is Jerry going?

Only the big three made TV by the Numbers' top 25 syndie list. The viewership averages: Wheel of Fortune 12.2 million (weekend repeat 5.3 million), Jeopardy 10.4 million, Family Feud 7.6 million. Pat and Vanna cracked the twelve million barrier for the first time this season. It is an eye-catching number.

TVNewser says that GSN averaged 345K/270K viewers prime time/total day for the full month (in Nielsen terms) of January. That's certainly a solid performance from our little game show network. In the week of January 21-27 Steve Harvey's Family Feud lorded over GSN's ratings, of course, as Douglas Pucci confirms.

Just a reminder: you can check the latest broadcast and non-GSN cable game show ratings in the sidebar. Right now some recent numbers are available for The Price is Right, Let's Make a Deal, Total Blackout and Killer Karaoke. Long story short: TPiR draws about five million viewers, LMAD about three million, Total Blackout a little more than a million, Killer Karoke a little less than a million.
