"the job" fired by cbs
http://eztv.it/tvnews/5978/the-job-fired-by-cbs/
cbs' reality competition "the job" has been yanked from the schedule after two low-rated airings and
will be replaced by "undercover boss" beginning this week.
lisa ling hosted "the job" which offered contestants the chance to win positions as the assistant
manager of the palm restaurant or an editorial assistant at cosmopolitan magazine, faced heavy
criticism in its debut, with the new york times dubbing it "awful" and the washington post and new
york post calling it "offensive," the latter describing the show as "yet another forum for the ritual
humiliation of our fellow citizens in the roman colosseum of reality tv, where the biggest loser wins."
"the job" premiered to a meager 4.1 million viewers and 0.9 rating in adults 18-49 and the second
episode fell to 3.4 million viewers and a 0.7 demo rating. however, the show isn't officially "canceled"
just yet, and the network has six more episodes they could choose to air at a later date.
fox's scripted drama "touch" has also been struggling on friday nights,
hitting the same low 0.7 in 18-49 as "the job" last friday,
but so far remains on the schedule.
