Apparently people like watching user-generated crap without commercials. The CW canceled its video show Online Nation. The show is the first causality of the fall season. Of course fans of the show can watch the exact same thing on the little known Web site YouTube. [TV Week]

Fox pulls the plug on Anchorwoman after just one episode, citing disastrous ratings and what appears to be preemptive backlash. An angry network spokesperson struggling to make sense of it all screamed, "I just don't get it! We took an incredibly offensive concept, turned it into an unabashedly sexist reality show based around a former bikini model, marketed the hell out of it then totally exploited her on national tv. Jeez, what more do you people want?!"

Sad news! According to TVNewser, Fox News Channel's SVP of programming has announced that The 1/2 Hour News Hour (a.k.a. the G.O.P.'s crotchety attempt at humor) "will not continue the Half Hour News Hour beyond its current 15 episode run."

Which is really surprising, actually, since we figured an unfunny Republican version of The Daily Show had "smash hit" written all over it.
