'Anchorwoman' pulled after one episode


LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Here's news that Fox's series "Anchorwoman" wouldn't want to deliver: It's been canceled after one low-rated airing.

The debut of the reality show about Lauren Jones' attempt to turn herself into a news anchor for a Texas TV station drew an estimated 2.7 million viewers Wednesday, according to preliminary figures from Nielsen Media Research.

That number is about a third of the viewership Fox attracted a week earlier with the finale of its popular "So You Think You Can Dance."

Jones was a Barker Beauty on "The Price Is Right," Miss New York and featured WWE Diva before the series put her into the newsroom of KYTX Channel 19 in Tyler, Texas.

Unaired episodes of "Anchorwoman" will be available on Fox's website through Fox on Demand, the network said Thursday

Ok. So. I saw the previews for this show and was completely and totally appalled. While I understand the importance of having news anchors that are physically appealing to the eye, news anchors also need to be professional. There is no reason why she should have even been considered for such a position. The previews showed her wearing provacative clothing, and stumbling on words such as "al qaeda" - a word spoken nearly daily in this day and age. I would be willing to bet that she has no sort of journalism or public speaking background, either of which should be a prerequisite to that particular role.

When I watch the news, I want the news. What's next? A 1st grader anchor? While that would be cute for about 5 minutes, I wouldn't want to watch story after story be read by one. This is the same thing - interesting for about 5 minutes, but can you imagine story after story? 'fraid not.

My real concern is the kind of message this sends to children. My daughter is incredibly adorable. And I will stand behind her no matter what profession she ends up in. However, I also try to encourage her to use her intelligence/creativity/athletic ability/personality to get where she wants to go in life. Now some blonde bimbo gets a show about her being a news anchor. Great.

Am I the only parent upset by this? Apparently not - The show got cancelled.

Sound off, I'd like to hear your opinions.
