Axed: Power of Ten
9Apr08

What percentage of Australians thought the Power of Ten was a good idea?

Well,
it’s hard to say what the percentage was but 521,000 wasn’t enough to
keep the show going. Nine has pulled it after just two episodes, the
same life-span of Monster House.

Remaining
episodes of the series, hosted by Steve Jacobs (who received mostly
positive reviews), now hang in limbo while the Network considers
whether to air them later in the year or in a low-profile timeslot.

Given the contestants didn’t win much money from the show, Nine could probably just pay them out to avoid its own Bingo-style scandal.

Nine will fill the spot with the doco series, David Attenborough’s Life in Cold Blood, probably not a bad alternative to the genres already stitched up by Seven and TEN in the 7:30pm Monday slot.

Popularity: 5%
