Ratings: syndies mostly down in last week before debuts

The last week before season debuts was a blah one for syndie game shows. Most lost a little ground and nobody gained. TV News Check has the dreary household ratings for the week of September 3-9...

Family Feud 6.0 - down a tick
Wheel of Fortune 5.3 - flat, which was okay for this week
Jeopardy 5.1 - down a tick
Millionaire 1.4 - down a tick to an unusually low number
Funny You Should Ask 0.5 - flat, as usual

Match Game wrapped up its season with the best numbers in a while. 4.31M viewers and a 0.8 18-49 rating. I haven't heard any definite news about a renewal. But any summer show that can get four million viewers has a chance nowadays.

GSN got 364K/265K viewers prime time/total day for the week of September 10-16. The network ranked 39th and 28th in the windows. Pretty much the same as the previous week, though GSN returned to the top 30 in total day. I wonder if the network will try America Says in prime time for the second season. Might perk up the numbers a little.
