Over at pifeedback.com, "Douglas" has posted the week of June 1-7 for GSN's ratings, listing every show by viewership, time slot and day. Surprisingly enough (or not), the Game Show Awards pretty much bombed for them, while Deal or no Deal and 1 vs. 100 are off to good starts. Catch 21 is their highest rated show. IMO, the most interesting read is how the ratings for each show can swing drastically from day to day.......

I'm shocked at quite a few of the ratings. First, Chain Reaction still pulls in a well above average amount of viewers, while their Poker shows are pretty much tanking(Is it rerun season for these)? Donnymid beats all the Dick Clark versions and Match Game may finally be losing it's sparkle. I'd love to see what MG '90 could pull after being off the schedule for a while. Obviously time slots mean a lot, but the classics aren't pulling what I'd hoped. Kinda sad!!
You know what GSN should learn from this? Catch 21 is a well-done strict game show that is doing well in the ratings. There is a correlation here. Viewers want and will watch good original game shows on GSN, who knew!

Catch 21 sucks compared to Gambit. Compared to some of the other tripe GSN has trotted out recently, it's solid gold.

Compared to the crop of shows from 2002, it sucks. Honestly, tone down the contestants and it's watchable. Oh, and lose the faux-hip intro.

It's good to see a classic like Password Plus get higher ratings than Poker. 5 out 7 of Password Plus' airings got more than 250,000 viewers. 3 out of the 5 airings for High Stakes Poker got over 250,000 viewers. Even their new Poker Stars show could only manage around 210,000 viewers for both of its airings.
I find it interesting that Wednesdays get significantly less viewers than the rest of the weekdays, except for the "pre-primetime" block where Karn Feud is slightly higher, and NG and C21 are significantly higher.
And I've just noticed another interesting trend...With the exception of Wed., check the drop off from $25K Pyr. to P+ each morning. Would this be attributed to TPiR airing in the majority of markets at this time and people flipping to CBS?

How much of P+'s ratings is people watching P+ and how much is it people watching the GSN Live interstitials? As for the poker shows, I don't know how much having a 4-year-old rerun right before it hurts it. I don't think you can do the victory dance just yet. Anyways, now that you can win Oodles (GSNs new cybercurrency) by watching and answering questions about the shows in the GSN Live block, I wouldn't be surprised to see some of those numbers go up. Doesn't mean that people actually like the shows, just that they're after free stuff.
I'm curious as to what the ratings for Big Saturday Night were. I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled the same numbers as the GSAs or even lower than that. Judging by the reviews, the BSN segments got ripped to shreds while the game shows themselves(20Q & The Money List) got good reviews(20Q was precieved better than feared).
If I'm reading it right P+ numbers are about the same on Saturdays without the GSN Live wraparound as they are on weekdays.
Maybe they should move the poker shows to a different day. There's a lot of sports programming that appeals to the same demographic so poker ends up not being the first choice for sports viewers. Maybe a late night slot either before or after the NBC poker show.

Poker was Monday nights on there for quite awhile. I wonder what the "Sunday night Dawson Feud" pulled for numbers? They did that about 2 years ago right before they did a schedule change. Seemed like Celeb. Millionaire, Lingo, TTQ, etc., were things on Sunday nights(even catch 21 last summer at 10pm), I'm having trouble remembering what all they did on Sunday nights though. Seems to be a slot that's changed too much.
Douglas at PI Feedback has updated the ratings for GSN to include July 27-Aug. 2. The bump that DoND gave the network seems to be wearing off, and 20Q and The Money List seem to be doing mediocre to lousy, probably a strong reason why they all but abandoned the Big Saturday Night wraparounds...... and perhaps maybe why Fred Roggin left the network?

Hmm, perhaps it's time for GSN to talk to Fremantle again and see about regaining the rights to a certain cult show where those little red pests were taking away contestants' cash and prizes...

I don't think that would even remotely help things. I seem to recall the ratings for most of the morning classics were pretty mediocre.
Just bumping this up so we can discuss the new numbers for the week of August 17-23.
What exactly do these figures mean? I realize that out of however many million people, a niche cable channel isn't going to grab a bunch of eyeballs, but 65,000 for a late-late-night show doesn't seem....as horrible as I was going to say. And is 500,000 all that hot stuff, under those same conditions?
What I don't get is if weekday P+ was doing alright in the daytime ratings (assuming these numbers are accurate), why did that get replaced instead of something lower-rated such as one of the SPs or (God forbid) $25,000 Pyramid?
