Broadcasting & Cable offered the usual May sweeps year-to-year comparison in their latest roundup of syndicated news and views. The comparisons held no big surprises for those who have been following along...Wheel of Fortune 6.5 - up a couple ticks
Jeopardy 5.5 - flat
Millionaire 2.4 - up a couple ticks
Family Feud 2.3 - up a very nice eight ticks
5th Grader 1.1 - down a couple ticks in its last May sweeps
Lyrics 0.8 - down a tick from its first and last September sweeps
TV by the Numbers didn't bother with sweeps comparisons. Instead, they listed the viewership averages for the week ending May 29: Wheel of Fortune 10.0 million (weekend repeat 4.7 million), Jeopardy 8.3 million, Millionaire 3.4 million.
Everybody agreed that Oprah had a boffo farewell. And she needs the money!
