Calculated the prime time/total day averages from Douglas' numbers, and they agree with the 297K/232K from TVNewser. Nice to have some confirmation from different sources.
Donnymid got Friday prime time up to 230K, which contributed to the rise in the overall prime time average. Not great but better than 25K Pyramid last week. I look for Donnymid to hang around on Friday night, as GSN's online schedule and pdf now show for tomorrow, May 18.
In the mornings I was a little surprised that Donnymid did better than everything else. We'll see how much GSN uses the show going forward. I'll post whatever pdfs GSN sends out. There's a new one every day lately, it seems. For now both the online schedule and the pdf show 25K Pyramid in the morning for next week, May 21-27. An interesting thought: put both of the Pyramid versions in the 10:00 AM hour. They seem to get the best numbers in the mornings lately.
Overall, not a bad week for the network. The Sunday prime time average of 487K was downright impressive by any GSN standard. No wonder the network wanted Jeff Foxworthy for the Bible quizzer.
By the way, GSN doesn't call it "block" scheduling. In the accompanying e-mails with the pdf schedules, they refer to the "stack" of, say, Pyramid on Friday night. Sort of like a stack of pancakes or poker chips, I guess.
