Fox Cancels Anchorwoman

Reality Series Debuted with 1.0 Rating Wednesday Night

By Michael Malone & Ben Grossman -- Broadcasting & Cable, 8/23/2007 5:15:00 PM


In the tradition of highly promoted flops that lasted just a single episode like ABC’s Emily’s Reasons Why Not last year, Fox canceled Anchorwoman, a network spokesperson confirmed Thursday afternoon.

The show -- about a former model and World Wrestling Entertainment performer who becomes a news anchor -- debuted Wednesday night to a miniscule 1.0 rating in the adult 18-49 demo.

The network will air repeats of Til Death in its place for at least the next three weeks, but those anxious to see how Lauren Jones’ journalism career turned out can do so by catching unaired episodes at FOX.com and via the Fox On Demand service.

I saw a commercial for it last night and that was the first I'd heard of it. It looked painfully bad

It's times like this I'm glad I don't get to watch any TV during the summer. I completely missed this show entirely.

Jesus christ.

Does FOX even give new shows a honest shot anymore? Granted the show looked like utter shit, but only a single episode? It's as if they hoped and planned for it to fail...

Do you know of many people who didn't watch the first episode but were likely to tune into the second or third episode?

it actually wasn't that bad, it wasn't good watching her trying to make it as a news anchor, but it was funny to watch how the others reacted towards her
