Worst change among syndicated game shows.

Program Partners’ Merv Griffin’s Crosswords at a 0.8 and Twentieth’s Temptation at a 0.5 sweep average were both even with their premiere weeks. Radar Entertainment’s Jury Duty remained at a 0.2.
...
None of the game shows was up, although declines were minimal. CBS’ Wheel of Fortune slipped 6% from last November to an 8.1. CBS’ Jeopardy! dipped 1% to a 6.7. Disney-ABC’s Who Wants to Be a Millionaire dropped 9% to a 3.0. And Debmar-Mercury’s Family Feud was flat at a 1.8.

Maybe if they had a certain ghost on their show, the ratings would be a little higher because all of his fans would have tuned in.

Yeah - we could virtually guarantee a strong upswing in the ratings.

I wonder if that would have been different if they had had a 'big' winner or two.

They had Lyn Payne winning $500K on the November 1 episode. And if they didn't show any other big winners, that's likely because there haven't been any more this season.*
*Well, maybe they saved one for February or May sweeps.

One day does not a month make.
I would predict they have no others.

We agree.
(Be sure to record that in your notebooks, beast!)

Be still my heart!
Actually, we agree more than you think. I just don't always say I agree with you.
I don't always say when I am trying to take the heat away from you either.
