What Percentage of America is Watching Power of 10?

What Percentage of America is Watching Power of 10? by Roxanne McDonald

Drew Carey alone is a big draw for CBS in their efforts to have a top game show. Yep, “The Power of 10” has an interesting appeal…for Americans

For the week of August 20th, 2007, “The Power of 10” was in the number 8 slot in the Nielsen ratings, with 8.7 million viewers and behind, respectively, “America’s Got Talent,” “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” “Without a Trace,” “Two and a Half Men,” “Philadelphia vs. Pittsburgh,” “Sixty Minutes,” and “The Singing Bee.”

This week’s questions reflect good old American patriotism, traditional wisdom, and general attitudes [ignoring, of course, the subject-verb agreement and pronoun shifts, some of which I have changed cause it makes me nuts to contribute to the perpetuation of crappy grammar]:
