Syndies recover a bit

After a forgettable week syndicated game shows bounced back some in the week ending June 12. Broadcasting & Cable offers the somewhat reassuring news...

Wheel of Fortune 5.9 - up a couple ticks
Jeopardy 5.0 - up a tick, not far behind the soulmate
Millionaire 2.3 - up a tick
Family Feud 2.3 - flat
5th Grader 1.1 - up a tick as the sayonara continues
Lyrics 0.9 - down a tick as darkness closes in (cue ominous music)

TV by the Numbers hasn't posted their top 25 syndie list yet. When they put 'em up, I put 'em up.

And they put 'em up: Wheel of Fortune 9.2 million (weekend repeat 4.3 million), Jeopardy 7.7 million, Family Feud 3.6 million. Meredith must have just missed the charmed circle.

GSN didn't make TVNewser's top 40 cable network list in either prime time or total day, despite some gradual improvement in the network's numbers over the last few days.

UPDATE: 101 Ways To Leave A Game Show debuted with 5.6 million total viewers and a 1.9 18-49 rating. Not bad, not great by summer standards. A little better than Wipeout before it.
