Warmer weather beckoned and syndicated game shows felt the Nielsen sting in the week of April 30-May 6. All the shows slipped, as TVNewsCheck ruefully reports...
Wheel of Fortune 6.4 - down three ticks
Jeopardy 5.5 - down a couple ticks in sympathy with the soulmate
Family Feud 2.9 - down a tick
Millionaire 2.5 - also down a tick because Meredith wants to be like Steve (just kidding)
At least all the shows made the top 25 list at TV by the Numbers. The viewership averages: Wheel of Fortune 10.1 million (weekend repeat 4.8 million), Jeopardy 8.6 million, Family Feud 3.9 million, and Millionaire 3.4 million. The numbers are starting to soften in the spring warmth. (Sounds poetic, no?)
In other ratings news, TVNewser says GSN averaged 297K/232K viewers prime time/total day for the week of May 7-13. The network ranked 41st in prime time and 42nd in total day among all cable nets. Not such a bad performance by recent GSN standards.
