| Game Show Ratings: 2005 and 2006 |
| Thursday, February 16, 2006 |
Yahoo! News recently posted an article stating the differences in syndicated game show ratings season-to-date. In general household count, "Wheel of Fortune" is (rightfully) down, at an 8.3. Jeopardy went down a lot to 6.6, while "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" is at 3.4 and Family Feud at 2.6. Each are at least -6 from last year, with Jeopardy being the worst, -16. In the women 18-49 category, "Wheel" is at 2.7, "Jeopardy!" is at 1.6, "Millionaire" gets a 1.4, and "Family Feud" is at a 1.1. Those are all down, but "Millionaire" did the best, going -4. Women 24-54 saw some increase from the 18-49, with "Wheel" at 3.4, "Jeopardy!" at 2.6, "Millionaire" of Fortune" at 1.6, and "Faimly Feud" at 1.2. We actually saw an increase in this one, with "Family Feud" going +2. Down for everything else. And in "Jeopardy!"'s defense, Ken Jennings really boosted the show's ratings, so there's a reason for giant drops. And it's apparent that "Millionaire" skews the youngest out of the 4, nearly equal with "Jeopardy!" in the women 18-49 category.
