Anchorwoman is already canceled

anchorwomanAfter it premiered last night, Fox has abruptly canceled Anchorwoman. The reality show only received a 1.0 rating in the adult 18-49 demo. Instead, the network will air reruns of 'Til Death in the 8 pm Wednesday time slot for the next three weeks.

Anchorwoman fans will be happy to know that the remaining episodes will be available through the Fox On Demand website.

I am a little disappointed because I wasn't the only one who was really rooting for the star, Lauren Jones. She's a former WWE diva and swimsuit model who gets hired to anchor for a small television station with measly ratings in Tyler, Texas. Yes, it is a reality show. While Lauren is not the smartest girl, she surprisingly comes off looking better than her catty coworkers who claim to be journalists.

Anchorwoman is atrocious, but not Lauren Jones

by Anna Johns, posted Aug 23rd 2007 1:29PM
anchorwoman; lauren jonesThe news world is all abuzz (and generally horrified) by Anchorwoman, a reality show that premiered on Fox last night. The premise of Anchorwoman is that a station in Tyler, Texas brings in a former professional wrestler/swimsuit model to anchor in order to boost their pathetic ratings.

The true tragedy of Anchorwoman is not Lauren Jones, a former WWE diva with no journalistic experience, but her coworkers who claim to be journalists. The News Director and the other anchor, Annalisa Petralia, are the ones who are making a mockery of local news which--let's face it--is really easy to do these days. Both people call themselves 'journalists' and talk a lot during the first two episodes about their journalistic integrity, yet they agreed to be on a reality show. There are a handful of people in that Tyler, TX newsroom who obviously did not want to be on a reality show because a whole bunch of faces are blurred out. They have what I like to call "self respect".

Lauren Jones AnchorwomanOkay, I know this isn't really an early look, since the show premieres tonight, but my neighborhood's cable box experienced what the cable company referred to as an unexpected reset, a term which essentially means "No internet for Varun."

However, I still love you guys enough to make some use of the pilot for Anchorwoman Fox sent me. Maybe some people who have never heard of this show -- i.e. most of you -- will decide to watch it.

Anchorwoman is a scripted/reality hybrid series that takes a busty fashion model and places her in a small town news station as an evening news anchor. Okay, so far so good.

anchorwomanOn August 21 at 8:00 p.m., FOX will debut Anchorwoman, a comedy/reality TV program focusing on a swimsuit model who moves to the quiet community of Tyler, Texas to try her hand at local news reporting.
