Syndication Falls Into Post-Sweep Depression

https://funnythingshere.xyz/syndication-falls-into-post-sweep-depression/- -

The combination of widespread repeats and sports preemptions results in very few weekly gains for the vast majority of first run in the frame ending June 3.



The first week following the May sweep was a challenging one for syndication as many shows went into repeats in the session that began with Memorial Day and ended on June 3.


In addition, some programs were preempted by coverage of French Open tennis and Stanley Cup hockey.



Story continues after the ad



For example, Dr. Phil went into reruns for the entire week and slipped 13% from the prior frame to a 2.8 live-plus-same-day national Nielsen rating. However, the show was still 4% ahead of last year at this time and had no trouble leading the talkers for the 91st week in a row.


Live with Kelly and Ryan snared second place in talk holding steady at a 2.2, while growing 5% from last year. And Ellen DeGeneres dropped 10% to a third-place 1.9.


Among magazines, Entertainment Tonight eased 6% to a 2.9, tying Inside Edition, which was down 3% for the category lead.


In game show action, Family Feud fell 2% to a 6.2, but still topped the 5.6 for both Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune, which declined 3% and 2%, respectively.





Brand Connections





Judge Judy, which was partially in repeats, remained syndication’s highest-rated program overall for the 15th straight week, dipping 4% to a 6.8, but still climbing 10% from last year, the highest annual improvement of any daytime show.


The week’s top-rated daytime talk shows in the women 25-54 demo were:



  • Dr. Phil (1.1, -15% from the week before)

  • Live with Kelly and Ryan (1.0, unchanged)

  • Ellen DeGeneres (0.9, -10%)

  • Maury (0.8, unchanged), tied with Wendy Williams (0.8, unchanged)


In the household rating rankings that follow, % change is from the previous week; * indicates a new season-high rating; ** indicates a new season low; NC indicates no change from the previous week; NA mean not applicable.

Nothing is worse than being the butt of someone’s joke… unless, of course, you like that sort of thing, which might also make you that special person who enjoys making your own friends feel stupid for simply existing. Well, maybe not that vicious, but it does take a certain kind of person to be the one who pranks others. For the funny zodiac signs, they don’t mind making jokes at someone else’s expense. And according to astrology, there are certain signs who take pride in being jokesters. Whether or not you follow horoscopes, there is a thing called  schadenfreude , which means to take joy in the pain or humiliation of others. For some, this is a form of entertainment. Practical jokes and practical jokers are both wanted and unwanted. Why som

Scaptia beyonceae . Crikey steveirwini . These are the scientific names of just a few of the nearly 25,000 species of plants, animals, fungi and micro-organisms discovered and named in Australia in the past decade. In each case, the honoured celebrity’s name is Latinised and added to the name of an existing or new genus – a set of closely related species that share common characteristics. In the above examples, Microleo (meaning “tiny lion”) is a genus of extinct carnivorous possums, while Scaptia is a genus of colourful horseflies. And in the case of Crikey steveirwini , a rare snail from northern Queensland, even the genus name honours Irwin, in the form of his favoured colloquialism. Read more: It’s

The Onion"s chief: Nothing funny about taking away kids from parents

Image
Over the past 20 years, Chad Nackers has seen the rise of hypocritical statements, those irony-free assertions in which the entire universe yells, “That sounds like a headline from ‘The Onion’” — but isn’t. The Onion’s editor-in-chief has always tried to mix the straight yuks with the knowing punch of satire, a similar challenge to the nation’s editorial cartoonists. “We haven’t really changed anything we do,” Nackers said in an interview Monday, “but the world has been much crazier and absurd, and that’s what people should be worried about.” Like Rob Rogers, the well-respected Pittsburgh Post-Gazette cartoonist fired after criticizing Trump, Nackers sees little humor  in the Trump administration’s separation of children from their parents along the border. (Editors’ note: The Monday afternoon effort just hurts ). “There’s nothing funny about what’s going on,” Nackers says. For The Onion, that means “it’s a satirical commentary on things, rather than ‘let’s laugh about it.’” One of its
