Syndicated game shows generally did okay in the week ending March 27. But that version of hangman with the big wheel tumbled quite a bit. Broadcasting & Cable presents the numbers...Wheel of Fortune 6.5 - down a nasty seven ticks
Jeopardy 5.8 - up three ticks
Millionaire 2.3 - flat
Family Feud 1.7 - flat
5th Grader 0.8 - down a tick to a new low on its way out
Lyrics 0.7 - flat as the long good-bye continues
TVNewser reports that GSN endured a so-so week for March 28-April 3, with 310K/260K viewership averages in prime time/total day. The network placed 39th among ad-supported cablers in both categories. Power of 10 certainly doesn't seem to have helped the numbers any.
Whenever TV by the Numbers posts the syndie viewer numbers, I'll let you know. Yippee, they finally got around to them. Obsessing over Chuck's renewal prospects must leave little time for mundane syndies on the site. The viewership averages: Wheel of Fortune 10.5 million (weekend repeat 4.0 million), Jeopardy 9.1 million, Millionaire 3.3 million. Wheel's numbers are noticeably softer than usual.
