Syndies do this and that

It was an up-and-down week for syndicated game shows, though nothing changed all that drastically. Broadcasting & Cable recounts the seesaw news for the week ending June 19...

Wheel of Fortune 5.9 - flat, didn't get on the seesaw
Jeopardy 5.1 - up a tick, which is better than down a tick
Family Feud 2.5 - up a couple ticks into undisputed third place
Millionaire 2.2 - down a tick but at least it's still around
5th Grader 1.1 - flat and not around for much longer
Lyrics 0.8 - down a tick and fading to black

You know the drill. When TV by the Numbers posts the viewership averages, I post them here. It's (very) slight fun to predict when the site will post the syndie numbers. I bet on Wednesday. But I could be wrong, as several have noted on other topics.

I missed my bet (duh). Robert Seidman didn't post the averages until Friday. He apologized, though, which really wasn't necessary but was still a nice touch. The numbers: Wheel of Fortune 9.2 million, Jeopardy 7.8 million, Family Feud 3.7 million. Nice showing for Steve Harvey and friends.

GSN didn't crack TV Newser's top 40 cable network list in prime time or total day for the April-June quarter. Improv-a-Ganza and Love Triangle helped make the three months very forgettable for the network.
