Reality sets in as Fox cancels "Anchorwoman"
Fox gave the reality show "Anchorwoman" the quick hook Thursday, only hours after the premiere of the series ended.
Lauren Jones, the former swimsuit model and WWE diva trying out as an anchor at a Texas station even though she doesn't have any journalistic credentials, was the immediate victim of poor ratings. Despite getting a good deal of publicity, the premiere bombed, proving that America isn't as dumb as many network executives might think.
In its place for the next three Wednesdays, Fox will air reruns of the Brad Garrett comedy series, "'Til Death."
