Ratings: Wheel and Jeopardy creep up

There really wasn't much movement for syndie game shows in the week of July 15-21. But the top two did add a few tenths as they continued to recover from some season lows a while back. The news was a bit worse for Steve and Meredith, but poor Jerry got a small gift. TVNewsCheck has all the numbers...

Wheel of Fortune 6.0 - up a tick
Jeopardy 5.9 - up a couple ticks and hard on the heels of the soulmate
Family Feud 4.3 - down a tick
Millionaire 2.3 - also down a tick as the clock ticks down (sorry) for Meredith
Baggage 1.0 - Jerry moves up a tenth of a point!

TV by the Numbers has the healthier looking viewer averages for the top two: Wheel of Fortune 9.2 million (weekend repeat 4.2 million), Jeopardy 8.7 million, Family Feud 6.4 million, Millionaire 3.2 million. You know, it's pretty hard nowadays for any show anywhere to average nine million viewers.

Douglas Pucci says that GSN had a decent but not outstanding week for July 22-28. 346K/275K viewership averages prime time/total day. Seen better, seen worse.
