The GSN board has set up a permanent floating crap game ratings thread. So I chip in some number-ish comments...
Via Futon Critic, the latest numbers for American Bible Challenge (April 25): 694K total viewers, 134K adults 18-49, 0.1 18-49 rating. Not very good by the show's standards but just fine by GSN's overall standards. We'll see if Harvey Feud tops it for the week's number one slot.
Futon Critic occasionally posts next-day numbers for GSN first-run originals. By the way, American Bible Challenge holds an odd distinction: it's the only GSN show to ever make TV by the Numbers' cable overnight top-100 list.
I'll be the usual nag on this subject: in the April 15-19 week Chain Reaction averaged a very healthy 342K viewers for the 3:00PM hour, not exactly a prime slot. Come on, GSN, there's a show that could use a revival. Your audience likes it!
One more ratings note: Scott Rahner slices and dices GSN's ratings every week at Game Show Network News. I think he overreacts a little to tiny week-to-week wobbles in the numbers, but his comments are always worth reading.
