Wow I learned something clicking around that site. NCIS on USA regularly gets 2-3 million viewers! I had no idea itnwas that high. I always thought cable show reruns of popular shows got maybe 1-1.5 million.

See? Jeopardy! sort of bombed at 12pm. I'm a little surprised I saw a 300K number at 11am with Super Password, and 25/100K Pyramid did pretty well I think.

EDIT: Okay, I did see a 200K number for Jeopardy at 12pm.

Well, Dawson is back to getting less than 100,000 viewers again. At least Match Game gained a few from the horrible lead in. But wow, Steve Harvey got 21 of the top 30 spots. Sorry folks, but if he is getting those ratings constantly, then there is a reason he is on all the time.

True, but there is such thing as OVER AIRING a show. But, right now, Steve Harvey is on about the right amount, I'd say. They didn't realy do this with John O'Hurley when his version came to GSN if I recall.

Because O'Hurley never was anywhere near as hot as Harvey is right now. No offense, of course.

Indeed. Right now, he's hot, and GSN will ride that fire as hard as possible. However, they would be a bit wiser to keep his airings where they're at; too many more will eventually poison the soup.

Jeopardy! did pretty well for it's first week. GSN should advertise Jeopardy! like TBS does with Family Guy. "Newer episodes of Jeopardy! weekdays at noon"

Well, Dawson is back to getting less than 100,000 viewers again. At least Match Game gained a few from the horrible lead in. \

Match Game still does fantastic for 8:30am/5:30amPT. I don't know how this rerun abuse show gets 200K+ numbers most of the days of the week.

The airtimes for Harvey are perfect right now. 36 times a week may be a little too many, but GSN shouldn't change the schedule involving Harvey Feud a bit

GSN's morning ratings really got a spike for Memorial Day. 300K+ numbers for $25K Pyramid and Super Password are really impressive. I wonder if this is indicative of how a schedule like this would do on weekend mornings.

The rest of the week, morning ratings weren't so hot. Maybe it's due to the weather being warmer. And I'm sorry, but I think these numbers prove that shows from the 2000's (other than maybe Wheel if they could get it) don't do better in the morning than 70's/80's classics. Karn Feud did worse than the two shows before, and the three shows after it. Then Chain Reaction brought the ratings down from the preceding three shows. I think GSN should remove these shows from the mornings (they both get airtime elsewhere), and have all classics in the morning. I'd bet that this schedule would be an improvement over what we have now:

8 am - Family Feud (Dawson)
8:30 am - Match Game
9 am - Match Game
9:30 am - Password Plus
10 am - Card Sharks (Perry)
10:30 am - $25,000 Pyramid
11 am - $100,000 Pyramid
11:30 am - Super Password

Or if they really can't get Card Sharks back, then just do an hour of Dawson, an hour of Match Game, a $25K/$100K Pyramid hour, and a Super Password/Password Plus hour in that order. The 8 AM hour would be a throwaway, but the rest of the morning schedule would benefit from this.

I took a quick peek at the ratings. Pretty much the same as usual; Harvey and Foxworthy dominate. The numbers for Monday morning were atypically impressive (especially $25K Pyramid and Super Password), likely due to it being a holiday.

Friday nights stink as usual, but at least Mr. Clark wasn't at the very bottom of the pool this time (Tuesday actually did worse). Howie's not exactly putting his best foot forward on Thursday nights anymore either.

8 am - Family Feud (Dawson)
8:30 am - Match Game
9 am - Match Game
9:30 am - Password Plus
10 am - Card Sharks (Perry)
10:30 am - $25,000 Pyramid
11 am - $100,000 Pyramid
11:30 am - Super Password

An OK schedule. For now, I would just get rid of Dawson, and let Match Game have the 8am hour, keep Karn at 9:30am. But in the future, Card Sharks (Perry) at 8am and 9:30am, Match Game/MG PM new lease at 10am, $100,000 Pyramid (same lease) at 11:30am.

Tuesday nights need a change. The Newlywed Game does well in its Saturday afternoon mini-marathon. Tuesday nights are the only spot during the 5 day week The Newlywed Game has on the schedule. The block schedule isn't working for it. Tuesday nights all Summer should be a combination of The Newlywed Game and Baggage, switching every hour. Baggage should put under some good numbers there.

Here's what GSN should do weekdays:

8:00am - Match Game
8:30am - Match Game
9:00am - Password Plus
9:30am - The $100,000 Pyramid
10:00am - Super Password
10:30am - The $25,000 Pyramid
11:00am - Password Plus
11:30am - Match Game
12:00pm - Card Sharks (Perry) - if GSN still has it.
12:30pm - Family Feud (Dawson)
1:00pm - Jeopardy!
1:30pm - Pyramid
2:00pm - Family Feud (Karn)
2:30pm - Lingo (Woolery)

The rest should be good, I put Karn at 2pm because it could actually do something at 2pm. Just saying. GSN should do SOMETHING like this.

Somewhat better, but this isn't really a schedule making thread. Instead a ratings thread which I'll say a couple things about this past week at a later time.

I wouldn't want Password Plus 2 times a morning, or Match Game 3 times a morning unless there is a new lease

I know this isn't really a schedule thread, but just thought I'd give me 2 cents on what GSN should do to make it better, but nevermind that now.
