Ratings Report: Only “Family Feud” Grows

The continuing power of Family Feud has been proven week in and week out over the course of the last two seasons.  Whenever a show performs a host change, if we see an uptick in ratings we typically wait for the inevitable downfall because curiosity has to wear off eventually.  Feud seems to be the exception to the rule and, unlike nearly anything I’ve seen before, just keeps getting bigger.  The most recent figures have Family Feud at a 3.2 rating, up 3% and tied with its high point.  It keeps getting more publicity the more it keeps with the show’s saving grace, Steve Harvey, and with his upcoming talk show and the extra attention he’ll receive from that, could we see Feud actually eclipse a 4.0 rating?

The rest of the syndicated shows either stayed level or went down, but it was pretty steady for everyone regardless.  Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! both stuck at 7.6 and 6.2, respectively.  Who Wants to be a Millionaire is the only show which shrank, but it was only by 4% to a 2.5, so they aren’t fretting that badly.  They just saw a big win and this week is Double Money week, so we’ll see if that can add anything to their numbers.
