Ratings: the little two perk up

Syndie game shows didn't mind the latest set of numbers from Nielsen. All the shows at least held their own and a couple did a little better. TVNewsCheck brings the good news for the week of July 16-22...

Wheel of Fortune 6.0 - flat
Jeopardy 5.2 - flat
Family Feud 3.2 - up a couple ticks in the summer heat
Millionaire 2.4 - up a tick

And more good news: all the shows made the top 25 syndie list at TV by the Numbers. The viewership averages: Wheel of Fortune 9.4 million (weekend repeat 4.2 million), Jeopardy 7.9 million, Family Feud 4.7 million, Millionaire 3.4 million.

TVNewser posted a cable ranker for all of July (okay, June 25-July 29). GSN averaged 349K/263K viewers prime time/total day for the month, which are certainly decent numbers for our little game show network. GSN ranked 39th and 40th in the windows.

Douglas Pucci put up the individual GSN show numbers for the July 23-29 week. Minute To Win It premiered very well for the network with a 495K viewership average on Tuesday night. And Messrs. Harvey and Foxworthy continued to perform nicely.
