The royal wedding - not my fave event, by the way - might have helped entertainment news shows in syndication. But it didn't do much for syndie gamers. Broadcasting & Cable posts the blah news for the week ending May 1:Wheel of Fortune 6.6 - up a tick
Jeopardy 5.7 - flat, didn't follow the soulmate up
Millionaire 2.5 - up a couple ticks and back into third place
Family Feud 2.3 - down a tick to fourth place
5th Grader 1.1 - flat as it fades into the sunset
Lyrics 0.8 - down two ticks as it fades into a black hole
When TV by the Numbers releases their top 25 list - they've been pretty prompt lately - I'll pass along the viewership averages. Well, they sure aren't prompt this week. In fact, it looks like no list at all will appear. The site is too busy exulting over Chuck's renewal. What's with this little-watched show? Is it 200-proof nerd bait?
Of course, Drew and Wendy are killing GSN's averages. Just one more piece of dismal evidence: Douglas says that Improv-a-Ganza stumbled to 203K viewers for its first-run last Friday, May 5. That's Drew's third-lowest number for an original episode. Love Triangle did even crummier business for its first-run with 196K viewers, Wendy's lowest for a new episode.
