Syndies hardly budge

Syndicated game shows just nudged around in the week of April 16-22. TVNewsCheck brings the so-so news...

Wheel of Fortune 6.5 - down a tick
Jeopardy 5.6 - up a tick, shows Pat and Vanna how it's done
Family Feud 2.9 - flat
Millionaire 2.5 - down a tick

TV by the Numbers is posting their top 25 syndie list right quick lately. Adding a couple staffers does wonders. The viewership averages: Wheel of Fortune 10.2 million (weekend repeat 4.8 million), Jeopardy 8.6 million, Family Feud 4.0 million, Millionaire 3.5 million.

In other ratings news, Total Blackout is delivering for SyFy: 1.3 million total viewers for the Wednesday debut, 1.2 million for the Friday repeat. Complete darkness is a Nielsen winner so far.

UPDATE: Douglas just posted the April 23-29 week for GSN. Viewership averages were 291K/226K prime time/total day. Actually a little improvement from recent weeks. Prime time looked solid on Sunday, Wednesday and Saturday. GSN did 350K+ prime time averages on those nights. Friday prime time was a black hole, and Thursday wasn't much better.
