NBCU's Maury stabilized at a 1.4 for the fifth week in a row. NBCU's Steve, which was one of the only two talkers to improve in the prior week, held steady at a 1.3.
NBCU's Steve Wilkos was flat at a 1.1. CTD's Rachael Ray retreated 9% to a 1.0, tying SPT's Dr. Oz, which was flat.
Warner Bros.' The Real recorded a 0.7 for the 12th straight week. CTD's The Doctors hemorrhaged 17% to a 0.5, matching its series low. Disney's Pickler & Ben, produced by E. W. Scripps, banged out a 0.4 for the 10th consecutive week, tying the syndicated version of NBCU's out-of-production Jerry Springer, which held steady for the 29th week in a row.
Face the Truth
Among this year's rookies, CTD's Face the Truth and Debmar-Mercury's Caught in Providence both stayed at a 0.8 and 0.6, respectively.
The only game show to improve was Debmar-Mercury's Family Feud, which edged ahead 3% to a 6.1 and topped the genre for a second straight week. CTD's Jeopardy!, CTD's Wheel of Fortune, Disney's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and Entertainment Studios' Funny You Should Ask all were unchanged at a 5.6, 5.5, 1.6 and 0.5, respectively.
Disney's viral video show RightThisMinute maintained a 1.2.
CTD's Inside Edition slipped 4% to a 2.7, matching its season low after facing preemptions due to basketball. CTD's Entertainment Tonight backtracked 7% to a 2.6. NBCU's Access held steady at a 1.3, tying Warner Bros.' unchanged TMZ. Warner Bros.' Extra eased 9% to a 1.0, tying CTD's steady DailyMailTV.
Twentieth's Page Six TV stayed at a 0.6, while Trifecta's Celebrity Page sagged 33% -- or one-tenth of a ratings point -- to a 0.2.
