Ask Matt | 3/10/2008
Q: Not that I'm totally up in arms, but what happened to Drew Carey's Power of 10? It was a fun show I enjoyed catching when I could, but it seems to have vanished! A: I like this one, too. Not a must-see exactly, but I find that hour is much more fun and certainly moves faster than that head-scratchingly popular briefcase-and-models show over on NBC. I'd expect you'll see new episodes of Power of 10 over the summer. When it came back this winter during the strike, it was clobbered by other ... read more
A Winter of TV Discontent? | Roush Dispatch | 12/4/2007
Just a thought: If the strike lasts much longer, do you think CBS' Big Brother house has room for all of us? I joke, of course, but I also fear that if things don't get resolved soon, it's going to be a long, cold winter indeed for fans of good old everyday regular non-reality TV.In the last few days, we’ve seen cliff-hanger episodes of Desperate Housewives and Heroes that felt like season finales, and for all we know, that’s what they might be, if production doesn’t resume early... read more

Drew Carey Defends Medical Marijuana | TV Guide News Report | 11/1/2007
Looks like Drew Carey can add another job title to his growing repertoire: medical-marijuana spokesman.The host of The Price Is Right and Power of 10 can be seen in a video, released on the website Reason.tv on Thursday, arguing the benefits of accessible medical marijuana and voicing his opinions about the government’s role in controlling it.“I think it’s clear by now that the federal government needs to reclassify marijuana,” Carey says in the video. “People who need... read more
Drew Carey: The Right Price Host | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 10/15/2007
Drew Carey has the cold sweats, but not because he's worried about replacing Bob Barker as the new host of The Price Is Right. The guy is sick ? bad sick ? and he's in his dressing room at CBS in Hollywood downing Theraflu and popping vitamins like mad. Carey really should go home, but there's no rest for the overemployed. Today he still needs to shoot two more episodes of Price, then grab a plane to New York City to tape his other CBS game show, the prime-time Power of 10. It doesn't help... read more

Ask Matt | 9/7/2007
As a fan of your column, I know you dislike Big Brother, and I won't try to sway your opinion, but I have to say that I've been disappointed by how CBS has handled recent controversies about their reality shows like BB and Kid Nation. Every year I expect one or two contestants to be irksome and display some repugnant behavior, but as I'm sure you've heard, many contestants this season have been either vapid, racist, sexist, abusive or all of the above. Amber made deplorable comments about ... read more
Episode Recap: PoV 7 | Big Brother | 8/22/2007
I am having a very unexpected reaction to the nomination of Jen in place of Amber. I think it is… disappointment? I am so conflicted. From Day 1, I have been very anti-Jen. It started with her ridiculous hysterics over her picture and has continued, pretty much unabated, for the entire game. However, seeing Jen get backdoored after tonight’s PoV competition really felt wrong to me. (Maybe I am experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder over my beloved Kaysar’s similar fate in... read more

Ratings: L.A. Ink Is in the Pink, a Power Dip and More | Today's News: Our Take | 8/10/2007
• For starters, Tuesday's premiere of L.A. Ink averaged 2.9 million viewers, making it TLC's most-watched series debut since January 2003's What Not to Wear.• Moving to Wednesday night, CBS' Power of 10 (7.8 million) suffered a bit of an outage, losing 15 percent of its premiere audience. Still, its numbers were markedly higher than what the Eye was getting this summer in the Wednesdays-at-8 slot.• So You Think You Can Dance (7.6 mil), despite drawing nearer to the finale, dipped... read more
Ratings: Drew Carey Can't Over-Power Talent Show | Today's News: Our Take | 8/8/2007
This Tuesday's ratings recap:• CBS' Power of 10 premiered to 9.25 million total viewers, improving on NCIS repeats by 1.5 mil and giving the Eye its best performance in key demos in the time slot since May. NBC's America's Got Talent, though, dominated the 8 o'clock hour (and the night) with a typical 10.75 mil.• Just for Laughs (6.39 mil) and Big Brother 8 (7.21 mil) matched last week's numbers, while On the Lot (2 mil, down 320K) and The Singing Bee (9.23 mil, down 600 thou) both... read more
Drew Has the Power | Roush Dispatch | 8/7/2007
In what qualifies as beyond a last-minute delivery, CBS dropped a screener of tonight’s premiere of the new Power of 10 game show on my desk this morning. (It sneak-peeks tonight at 8 pm/ET, then moves into its regular time period a night later on Wednesday, also at 8.) Now that I’ve seen it, I want to get the word out to any fellow game-show fans out there: Don’t miss it! And in particular, don’t miss this first hour.I like the game well enough — it’s all about... read more

The funnyman, eponymous sitcom vet and improv genius has scored not one but two plum gigs in short order, first being named to front CBS' Power of 10 prime-timer (premiering tonight at 8 pm/ET, then airing Wednesdays at 8), and then getting the nod to succeed Bob Barker as The Price Is Right's head cashier. In this TVGuide.com Q&A, Carey sheds light on his good fortune, sets straight some wild rumors and shares his take on... read more
