What Parents Need to Know
About Anchorwoman
Parents need to know that this reality/comedy hybrid focuses on a model/former beauty queen who wears tight, revealing clothing (most of it sporting high-end labels) and sometimes behaves in flirtatious and sexually provocative ways. The series both comments on and reinforces sexist stereotypes about women, their looks, and their professional capabilities. There's also some fairly mild language (of the "hell" and "ass" variety) and social drinking.

Beauty Queens Can't Be Smart?
For most people in East Texas having a national television show being produced in such a small place would be very exciting. Yeah right. Lauren Jones is not the typical frumpy East Texas housewife you will see at the local Walmart. She is the person for whom those housewives envy and whose husbands daydream about. She is from New York and she is beautiful. Not only is she a swimsuit model she is actually intelligent if you take the time to get to know her. Fortunately, I know whereof I speak. My 13 year-old daughter went to C.S.I. Summer Camp at Kilgore College. Lauren was the reporter sent over to cover the story. My daughter thought she was very sweet, personable, actually showed an interest in what they were learning as opposed to asking her "X-amount" of questions and leaving. If anything, I have had to restrain myself and do my research before sending a disgruntled email to Station Mgr/Director Phil Hurley. I have to say, I will watch the TV show, Anchorwoman and encourage others to as well...but I wont be watching the news at 5, 6, or 10.

I was disgusted
From what I've seen on the previews. I think this show is a insult to women reporters, and women in general. This should be aired on HBO. Not on a broadcast station.
