If Drew Carey hadn't been tapped as the new host of "The Price is Right," his new game show, "Power of 10," might have been just another summer TV diversion. But now the show, which premieres tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern and Pacific, is more of a trial for how Carey will fare as a full-time game show host.
I keep thinking of "Power of 10" as "Family Feud" without the family. The show's producers polled thousands of Americans on questions from how much they've spent on jeans to whether they were virgins on their wedding day. Then, "Power of 10" contestants have to predict what percentage of Americans answered one way or another, with the contestant with the best handle on the mindset of the American public getting a chance to play for $10 million.
I'm pretty curious to check out this show; I love trying to guess how the average American thinks, and I want to see how Carey performs as host. I'm sure "Power of 10" will have all the annoying pacing of every primetime TV game show — "let's see if you have the right answer ... after this commercial break!" — but I'm still going to give it a shot.

1Looking forward to seeing how Drew Carey does as host. The show has received a lot of hype, so it will be interesting to see if it lives up to any of it. The "social norms" aspect of the show intrigues me.
2It's pretty good. And the 19 year old playing tonight is a cutie!
3i want to know the answer!
4I watched it Tuesday night and found it to be not TOO bad, probably because Drew Carey is hilarious but then again, the questions they had were pretty good compared to other shows like millionaire or 5th grader. It's not EXCITING exciting like deal or no deal but I think it'll take off. Although, I'm wondering how they can afford to give so much money away because the money goes up by powers of 10 and there isn't a lot of steps before getting to 10 millions. Despite that, I think this show will be a surprise hit.
