Ratings: syndies sleep in summer

Kind of a droopy week for syndie game shows in the droopy days of August. A few shows moved a tenth of a point, and that was it. TV News Check has the blah household ratings for the week of August 6-12...

Family Feud 6.2 - down a tick, at least it moved
Jeopardy 5.4 - flat
Wheel of Fortune 5.3 - down a tick
Millionaire 1.6 - up a tick to pretty much its season-long average
Funny You Should Ask 0.5 - flat

Cash Cab has settled into high 400K viewer numbers. That would be just fine for GSN but it's not so hot for Discovery. We'll see if the show gets any more eps.

Speaking of GSN, the network got 412K/276K viewers prime time/total day for the week of August 13-19. GSN ranked 35th and 28th in the windows. Pretty typical but down a tad from a strong July.
