More Movement Among Syndies
Court shows, led by juggernaut Judge Judy, were the dominant daytime force in the session ending July 12, extending a recent trend. Judy continued to punch the lights out of all daytime competition with a 4% spike to a six-week high 5.8 live-plus-same-day national Nielsen rating, even though the show was in reruns on all five days.
Also smoking, Hot Bench was the No. 2 courtroom and ranked as syndications second highest daytime strip for the fifth week in a row, attracting nearly 2.7 million daily viewers and holding its ground at a 2.0. That was good enough to tie talk show king Dr. Phil.
Peoples Court climbed 8% to a 1.4 and Judge Mathis motored ahead 13% to a 0.9
Meanwhile, Dr. Phil rose 5% to a 2.0 to lead the mostly stable gabfests. Live with Kelly and Ryan remained a strong second in talk, hanging tough at a 1.6; Ellen DeGeneres and Maury were next in line with both at an unchanged 1.1.
Rookie talker Kelly Clarkson, the No. 1 new show of the season, belted out a 25% gain in the coveted women 25-54 demo and an 11% increase to a 1.0 in households with four days of Summer Staycation shows from her L.A. home.
In access, Inside Edition added 4% to a 2.5 to lead the magazines. Entertainment Tonight was a close second with a steady 2.3 and Access Hollywood rounded out the top three, jumping 10% to a 1.1.
Among game shows, Family Feud maintained its top spot with an unchanged 5.9, which put it at the top of the syndication ratings, and was also No. 1 among women 25-54 with a 2.2.
