Shed Some Tears for Oprah Y'all

Because her ratings are slipping.

According to TV by the Numbers

As ever, Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy took the top spots for weekly syndication and Two and a Half Men is now firmly entrenched in third place and seemingly not letting go.

Judge Judy was fourth, and trumped Oprah for daytime supremacy for the sixth consecutive week in the week ending April 25, but Oprah was up 11% on the week fueled by “Octomom” Nadya Suleman.  The Suleman episode averaged 6.795 million viewers, about a million more than any other show during the week. The second-highest featured Mo’Nique’s brother admitting he sexually molested his sister — that telecast averaged 5.839 million.
