Ratings: it's all tied up for syndies

TV News Check is having fun with syndie game show ratings lately. The week of October 1-7 produced "an extremely rare event." No, Millionaire didn't suddenly leap to the top of the charts. But there was a three-way collision at the top. The site has all the household ratings...

Family Feud 5.9 - up a tick
Wheel of Fortune 5.9 - flat, and wait for it...
Jeopardy 5.9 - up a tick to a season high and a three-way tie (hey, that rhymes)
Millionaire 1.6 - flat at the familiar number
Funny You Should Ask 0.5 - flat at the familiar number

Not exactly game show news, but Match Game's Alec Baldwin bombed with his new talk show. 2.07M viewers and a 0.3 18-49 rating. Don't expect the chatter to last too long.

GSN perked up a little for the week of October 8-14. 416K/283K viewers prime time/total day. The network ranked 31st and 27th in the windows.
