FOX’s most recently launched reality show is also its most recently canceled. “Anchorwoman” starred Lauren Jones as she attempted to become a news anchor for a local Texas TV station. Apparently good looks, lots of very revealing Internet photos, and “no journalism background”, as she billed herself on MySpace, wasn’t enough to lift this show past its very first appearance last week. With an estimated viewership of 2.7 million the show came in with roughly one third of FOX’s “So You Think You Can Dance” finale leading the network to doom Anchorwoman to an online closure. I would think landing 1/3 of the viewers that SYTYCD was pulling wouldn’t be too bad. I guess it was.

Jones background included a stint as a Bob Barker Beauty on “The Price Is Right”, a Miss New York semi-finalist, WWE Diva, oh and don’t forget, she was Homecoming Queen. Maybe she forgot to mention that last clincher which probably would have saved her show. For those longing to see more of Lauren Jones you can either visit her MySpace page for lots of obnoxious animated pictures or watch the rest of her series on FOX’s On Demand. Personally, I’m going to stick to watching Pirate Master online instead.
