Judge Judy |
According to Marc Berman, “Judy” averaged a 6.7 household rating, which bested No. 2 “Wheel of Fortune” (6.5) by two-tenths of a rating point (or three percent). Compared to May 2014, the two veteran strips posted minor losses at eight percent and three percent, respectively. And corporate cousin “Dr. Phil” (3.3: - 3 percent) led the category of talk for the 11th consecutive sweep.
Second in talk was “Live with Kelly & Michael” from Disney-ABC at a 2.9 rating, which rose to its best May in eight years and held a 16 percent advantage over No. 3 “Ellen DeGeneres” from Warner Bros. (2.5: - 7 percent).
Also on the plus side in the category year-to-year were “Wendy Williams” (1.7: +21 percent) and “Jerry Springer” (1.3: + 8 percent). Just the opposite, with a loss of 35 percent, was “Dr. Oz” from Sony Pictures Television at a 1.3. Erosion among key women 25-54 (0.7) was even more severe for “Dr. Oz” at 42 percent.
Tops among the freshman strips, not surprisingly, was “Hot Bench,” also from CTD (and from Judge Judith Sheindlin) at a 2.0 rating. Comparably, that was a hefty 54 percent above its debut week (1.3 for the week of Sept. 15). And veteran “Entertainment Tonight” from CTD (3.2: - 3 percent) clocked its 98th straight sweeps victory (translation: more than 24 years!), with corporate cousin “Inside Edition” (3.1: + 3) trailing by just one-tenth of a rating point.
