Except for Watson-less Jeopardy, syndicated game shows mostly bounced back in the week ending February 27. Broadcasting & Cable spreads the newly good news...Wheel of Fortune 7.8 - up three ticks
Jeopardy 6.4 - down eight ticks, where's da machine?
Millionaire 2.3 - up a tick
Family Feud 1.8 - up a couple ticks
5th Grader 1.0 - up a tick and out of the sub-one basement
Lyrics 0.7 - flat and looking grim
Meredith crept back into the top 25 list on TV by the Numbers. The viewership averages: Wheel of Fortune 12.7 million (weekend repeat 5.5 million), Jeopardy 10.2 million, Millionaire 3.4 million. Wheel's repeat beats most syndie first-runs in total viewers. That show prints money.
Meanwhile, TVNewser offered their weekly report on GSN ratings for February 28 - March 6: 349K/259K viewers on average in prime time/total day. Not bad by the network's historic standards, but not particularly good by recent standards.
