This blog occasionally has to report boring news. So I'll gulp and offer the latest dull-as-dog-poop numbers on syndicated game shows. Broadcasting & Cable lulls up to sleep with the ratings for the week ending May 22...Wheel of Fortune 6.6 - flat, and not the last
Jeopardy 5.6 - flat, what else?
Millionaire 2.5 - up a couple ticks, somebody's got to be different
Family Feud 2.4 - flat
5th Grader 1.1 - flat
Lyrics 0.8 - flat, hope my car tires don't get any ideas
When TV by the Numbers posts the viewership averages, I will type them into the blogger.com window. They're finally here: Wheel of Fortune 10.5 million (weekend repeat 4.9 million), Jeopardy 8.6 million, Family Feud 3.6 million, Millionaire 3.5 million.
An offbeat bit of ratings news: the supposedly game-show-like Voice outdrew the NBA finals in total viewers. But the final ratings may put hoops on top by a little. And the basketballers skewed a tad younger.
