The back-to-back new episodes of GSN's
Minute To Win It averaged 428,000 viewers during the 8:00pm and 9:00pm airings.
Syndicated game shows took a beating
this week as Wheel of Fortune continues to suffer as it sunk 5%, down to a 5.6,
and Jeopardy! dropped 2% to a new season-low of 5.3.
Family Feud and Baggage also felt the
sting of the ratings depression this week as Feud fell 4% down to a 4.3 and
Baggage lost 18% down to a 0.9.
Fortunately, Millionaire was not
affected the drop in syndicated game show ratings as its ratings remained
unchanged freezing at a 2.3.

Match Game. The sidesplitting game show debuted on CBS in 1973 and is currently
run as a revival series in Canada on The Comedy Network.
