Not a single first-run show posted an increase in household ratings during the holiday session. Family Feud held steady, but it was enough to make it No. 1 overall (again) as well as the top game show (again).
WEEKLY SYNDICATION RATINGS ROUNDUP
Syndication Stalls In Memorial Day Week
The week beginning with Memorial Day was a session most of syndication would like to forget.
Family Feud was one of the few success stories in the frame ending June 6, holding steady at a 5.4 live-plus-same-day national Nielsen rating and leading the entire chart for the fourth week in a row. Feud also buried the rival game shows for a seventh straight week.
Jeopardy had less buzz, slumping 4% to a 4.9, while Wheel of Fortune faded 2% to a 4.7.
Elsewhere, among access magazines, Inside Edition eroded 9% to a new season low 2.0 with Entertainment Tonight right behind, easing 10% to a 1.9.
In talk, topper Live with Kelly and Ryan racked up its fourth consecutive first-place finish, holding its ground at a 1.7.
Dr. Phil went into repeats but snared second place despite giving back 6% to a 1.5. In addition, Phil retained 100% of its year-ago rating.
BRAND CONNECTIONS
On the court show docket, leader-for-life Judge Judy slipped 6% to a 4.9, although it was still the No. 1 daytime program by far and tied for No. 2 among all syndicated shoes with Jeopardy.
