GSN ratings May 21-27

Douglas Pucci just posted the ratings for May 21-27. Haven't had any time to analyze them. But I can say that Harvey Feud and 5th Grader account for an almost ridiculous 18 of the top twnety shows.

Douglas is still the man after all these years!

Harvey Feud is still a WINNAR. #1 spot is the strangest spot: 11:30pm at the very end of the week (Sunday Night). I thought that would be one of the weaker spots.
Harvey Feud at 11:30pm is a winner all week long. That slot gets the best ratings. If GSN was smart, they could air something NEW at 11pm that way viewers can continue to stay for Harvey at 11:30pm. Maybe he could get a slightly bigger ratings with a new show as lead in....

I could see why GSN is letting 1 vs 100 go. Numbers are pretty bad. At best 181k. Not even half best in terms of shows.

Nice to see Dick Clark make a nice showing on the ratings again...well deserved. And the Betty White effect for Super Password is pretty obvious...I would expect to see a similar uptick for this week's Password Plus eps as well.

As far as Feud and 5th Grader...I guess if you tip the scale so far in that direction, it's bound to happen. They're not bad shows, but too much of a good thing doesn't work so well. JMHO.

Looks like Baggage is doing really well at midnight after Harvey Feud. The new eps on Wednesday & Thursday did pretty well too.

The Newlywed Game didn't do too great, but not terrible either. I still think it would be better to air Newlywed Game at 6PM and Baggage at 6:30PM all week, but of course Harvey Feud is coming in there next week. Originals have been in that hour for years now -- Anyone remember "Carfonso"?

Can't believe why Feud almost swept the top 10. The reason: Steve Harvey.

On a network of nothing but reruns this isn't shocking. The newer stuff takes up the top spots. Also not hard to accomplish when you run Feud for hours and hours all day. It'd be lot more impressive if they pulled this number on a schedule with a lot of variety and less airings. Of course, then they'd decide to run it more and we'd be right where we are now until new (first run) shows are brought in at which point they'll run them into the ground. So I guess it doesn't matter.

Sherri and Jerry still did well at 6 and 6:30pm in reruns back in the Fall and Winter. They would be good lead outs after Karn and Harvey Feud at 4 and 5pm, but I still think GSN will do well with the late afternoon schedule changes involving Catch 21 and Harvey Feud.

Baggage continues to do well in its new slot at midnight. The Tuesday night block of Sherriwed only does OK, but it's getting renewed for a sixth season and has done fantastic for GSN since late 2010. Block scheduling doesn't work, or else The Newlywed Game would do better
