Ratings: Wheel rolls

Except for Wheel of Fortune, syndicated game shows didn't move much in the week of March 18-24. But Pat and Vanna bounced back smartly from their swoon the previous week, which was induced by the onset of Daylight Savings Time. TVNewsCheck has the numbers for all the shows:

Wheel of Fortune 7.3 - up six ticks, nice job
Jeopardy 6.0 - down a couple ticks
Family Feud 4.9 - up a tick
Millionaire 2.4 - up a couple ticks as Meredith counts down the days
Baggage 1.1 - down a tick for woeful Jerry

Meredith made the top 25 list at TV by the Numbers.  The viewership averages: Wheel of Fortune 11.4 million (weekend repeat 3.6 million), Jeopardy 9.1 million, Family Feud 7.1 million, Millionaire 3.2 million. Nice to see Millionaire sneak into the chart.

TVNewser says that GSN had a fine first quarter, averaging 361K/282K viewers prime time/total day. The network ranked 40th and 39th in the windows.
