Ratings: Pat and Vanna regret the week

It was a humdrum summer week for most syndies, and game shows were no exception. Pat and Vanna had a special reason to dislike the results. TV News Check has the less than stellar household ratings for the week of August 20-26...

Family Feud 6.1 - flat
Wheel of Fortune 5.2 - down a tick to a season low
Jeopardy 5.2 - flat in a tie with the soulmate
Millionaire 1.5 - down a tick
Funny You Should Ask 0.5 - flat as usual

For the latest run Beat Shazam got its usual numbers, a little over two million viewers and a 0.7 in 18-49. Not great but enough for a third season. Love Connection looks iffy for a renewal, though.

TV Newser didn't post a full cable chart for the week of August 27-September 2. Don't know if this is a one-time lapse or the start of an ominous trend. Oh well, for the month of August GSN got 425K/277K viewers. The network ranked 34th and 29th in the windows.
