What Would You Do?
Celebrity Family Feud, Press Your Luck and Match Game: We don't currently know how any of these shows officially rated last night due to preemptions, but the preliminary data points are quite encouraging. Press Your Luck held onto 100% of Celebrity Family Feud and Match Game was just a tenth below that. With 1.0/1.0/0.9 ratings preliminarily, they could adjust down two, three, or even four-tenths each from the preemptions and wouldn't find themselves in any danger. ABC has lower-rated shows on their lineup, and have renewed both Press and Match after going as low as 0.6 and 0.5, and I doubt that'll change this year. They're all CERTAIN RENEWALS.
Game On!: The newest part of the CBS lineup, Game On! started last week with a 0.7. It actually premiered in time for it to be included in my renew/cancel index, but I wanted to wait for finals to access it accurately, given that it's a new show with no prior history to base a decision upon. That 0.7 isn't too bad, though with a 0.6 in its second half it's a bit less encouraging than it appears at first. CBS game shows have a tendency to collapse rather quickly, with Candy Crush and TKO going from looking OK to looking like massive bombs. At this point, it's in renewal territory, but subsequent weeks will tell the real story. It LEANS RENEWAL for now.
