Syndicated game shows generally enjoyed a nice week to start off the new year. But Family Feud really hit the jackpot. TVNewsCheck brings the good news for Steve Harvey and company for the week of December 31-January 6...

Wheel of Fortune 6.9 - up a couple ticks
Jeopardy 6.0 - up a tick
Family Feud 5.1 - up five ticks to a season and series high, Steve smiles even wider
Millionaire 2.4 - down a tick as Meredith rides off into the game show sunset

The viewership averages for the top three from TV by the Numbers: Wheel of Fortune 11.0 million (weekend repeat 4.2 million), Jeopardy 9.3 million, Family Feud 7.7 million. All very impressive compared to broadcast network TV.
