sinks like a rock New reality series debuts with a 1.0 in adults 18-49 Aug 23, 2007 It looks as though “Anchorwoman” Lauren Jones was just as unpopular with viewers as with her new colleagues at KYTX. Last night’s premiere of the new Fox reality show, about a beauty queen who sends a newsroom into upheaval when she’s hired to help raise the broadcast’s ratings, posted dismal numbers. “Anchorwoman” averaged a 1.0 rating among adults 18-49, according to Nielsen overnights, tying for fifth place in the 8 p.m. timeslot with the CW and ranking among the worst debuts this summer on broadcast. The show finished behind even Univision, which has been struggling at 8 p.m. since “La Fea Mas Bella” ended its run earlier this summer. “Anchorwoman” didn’t help lead-out “Bones” at 9 p.m., which averaged a 1.1 and Fox, which has led every week this summer among 18-49s, pulled just a 1.0 on the night. Many reviewers trashed “Anchorwoman,” though Media Life TV critic Andrew Lyons called it a fun, frothy reality romp. Meanwhile NBC led the night among 18-49s with a 2.4 average overnight rating and a 7 share. CBS was second at 2.2/7, Univision third at 1.6/5, ABC fourth at 1.5/4, and Fox and CW tied for fifth at 1.0/3.
