Things Change

That argument seems to be continuing at the forums.

And if you look at past numbers, classics did well on weekends too. From the link classics on Saturday averaged 304K. All four of them.

Here are the numbers of those older shows in the morning

9:00am - Match Game SYN - 206K
9:30am - Password Plus - 350K
10:00am - Super Password - 325K
10:30am - Family Feud (Dawson) - 335K

I guess those were good numbers, but that overall was a pretty good week of ratings.

Douglas continued to post ratings over the summer of 2009, and they (the older shows) began to go down a little bit. He posted the last weeks in August 2009. Then in November 2009, all the old shows were eliminated from weekends, and he began to post again in January 2010, and has posted a lot since then (except from January 2011-April 2011) Obviously since August 2009-November 2009, the older shows obviously bombed in ratings, which is why they were replaced. I was sad to see Password Plus leave in November 2009, but it obviously had a good run, then dwindled.

Older shows now get a good number once in a while, but they're not that great. The novelty is obviously wearing off. Time to move on.
