The ratings news has turned so dismal for GSN that I hardly have the heart to put up the reports any more. But my hearty self keeps finding enough stubbornness to continue. From the GSN Schedule board about a particularly crummy day...Douglas keeps putting 'em up. Saturday, May 28 really stunk with 190K/180K prime time/total day viewership averages. Poker is on the way out with terrible numbers, and Improv-a-Ganza didn't help, either. Once upon a time, at least, High Stakes Poker got good ratings. The top ten, and note Wendy's ominous appearance:
12:00PM Million Dollar Password 340
11:30AM Catch 21 296
3:30PM Family Feud 283
9:30PM Newlywed Game 264
1:00PM Power of 10 261
10:30AM Family Feud 249
4:30PM Love Triangle 232
11:00AM Newlywed Game 228
5:30PM Baggage 225
8:30PM Baggage 225
Regis has always been berry berry good to GSN. And it still looks like the network revived the wrong Drew show.
UPDATE: GSN's Monday, May 30 numbers sing the same old song. Improv-a-Ganza just crushes the network. Up until Drew arrived at 8:00, GSN was rolling. Karn Feud pulled 400K+ viewers in the 4:00PM hour, and many other shows did 300K+. Then Drew skidded to 249K at 8:00 PM and 173K at 11:00PM, and the day never recovered.
As a result, prime time averaged fewer(!) viewers than total day: 232K vs. 245K. Lingo arrives soon at 8:00PM, and GSN can't wait.
