Symptomatic of an economy in which unemployment remains a constant concern, CBS has taken The Job from America, shutting down the Lisa Ling-hosted reality series after just two episodes, thus ensuring no one can claim their pensions. The Mark Burnett-produced show, in which contestants fight for their chance to land their dream jobs, offered unrewarding yet steady weekly labor for viewers, the sort of factory-pressed reality show chore that a man might not necessarily be proud of, but which was still enough to make a 21st-century-version-of-living out of watching. As of now it’s unclear whether CBS will offer the ...

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 was executive produced by Mark Burnett ("Survivor") and offered competitors the opportunity to land a "dream job at their dream company." Apparently viewers prefer the gimmick of "Undercover Boss" -- people at the top level of companies find out what it's like to perform lower level duties.
"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...

CBS's midseason reality series The Job, where contestants vied for their ultimate jobs at fancy companies, is getting pulled after two episodes. The show will be replaced with Undercover Boss. "It's not clear whether the six remaining episodes of The Job will air," THR reports. It's an unusual flop for super producer Mark Burnett, whose name has underscored series like Survivor, The Apprentice, The Voice, and Shark Tank.

"The Job" has been fired by CBS. The Mark Burnett-produced reality competition series has been sacked by the network after only two episodes, leaving "Undercover Boss" to resume airing in the timeslot beginning next week. That puts the latter series back in the Friday at 8 Pm hour it vacated just two weeks ago for the Lisa Ling-hosted experiment. "The Job" stuttered out of the gate in its debut episode, pulling in only 4.12 million viewers and an 0.9 rating in adults 18-49. In its second outing it performed even worse, scoring a mere 3.37 million viewers and dropping to an...

It is two and out for CBS’ new reality series The Job, which is being pulled from the schedule effective immediately. The show The Job replaced in the Friday 8 Pm slot, Undercover Boss, will resume its run in the hour next Friday. The Job, executive produced by Mark Burnett and Michael Davies, offered contestants a chance to get a job. It debuted with an underwhelming 0.9 rating in adults 18-49, 53% below the November season premiere of Undercover Boss. The Job dropped even further to a 0.7 rating last Friday before being yanked.

It seems that "The Job" just wasn't working for CBS. According to The Hollywood Reporter, CBS has pulled the struggling reality competition from its schedule after only two episodes, to be replaced immediately by "Undercover Boss."
The series, hosted by Lisa Ling and hailing from reality super-producer Mark Burnett's company (which produces "The Voice," "Shark Tank" and "Survivor"), struggled in the ratings from the outset: Its premiere garnered only 4.1 million viewers and a 0.9 in the coveted adults 18-49 demo, slipping to 3.4 million and 0.7 in its second week.
The show, 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...

"The Job" has been fired from CBS's broadcasting slate. The reality series has been pulled from the network's schedule after just two episodes, an individual with knowledge of the decision told TheWrap on Monday. The show, which was hosted by Lisa Ling, featured contestants participating in challenges in hopes of landing a dream job at their dream company. However, the show's ratings bordered on the nightmarish. For its series premiere on Feb. 8, the show pulled a discouraging 0.9 rating/3 share in the 18-49 demographic most important to advertisers, down 53 percent from...

One week after its second season debut, Fox’s Touch (0.7/2) took a hit last night. The Kiefer Sutherland drama fell 22% from its two-hour February 8 premiere. Touch’s overall viewership headed southward as well, down to 2.52 million from the 3.77 million who watched last week’s debut. Touch wasn’t the only show dealing with the second week straits Friday night. CBS’s new reality show The Job (0.7/2) also took a blow. The Mark Burnett and Michael Davis produced series about seeking your dream job also fell 22% last night. The 8 Pm airing of The Job was watched by 3.37 million on Friday night, down from last week’s 4.11 million. Other CBS shows Friday felt some hurt too.

The Tom Selleck-lead police series was...

With the unemployment rate hovering near 8 percent overall -- it's much higher for certain age and ethnic groups, and higher overall if you count in the underemployed and those who have stopped seeking work -- jobs are tops on the minds of many Americans.
Even those who are employed may find themselves with shrinking hours, paychecks and benefits or facing shaky prospects for the future.
At least for a few people, a new competitive reality-tv series could be the answer to their prayers, and for others, it may offer insights to improve their professional outlook.
On Friday, Feb. 8, CBS premieres "The Job," from executive producers Mark Burnett ("Survivor," "The Apprentice"), Michael Davies ("The Glee Project," "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?") and Jay Bienstock.
After "The Glee Project," a competition to find a new cast member for the hit Fox series, Davies wondered if there were other areas of life...

Chicago – Is it odd to anyone else that there’s an entire subgenre of reality TV shows — we could call ‘em employment reality — about people trying to find work? There’s “The Apprentice,” “Shark Tank,” “Fashion Star,” and even “Project Runway” & “Top Chef” are essentially job interviews. It makes sense that we would someday get to “The Job,” where people try to find employment with major companies in front of a live studio audience.
Television Rating: 3.5/5.0
The concept is so simple that it’s kind of remarkable someone didn’t come up with it early. It’s a mini-“Apprentice,” as top-tier professionals compete for a job but do so not through challenges but mostly through the power of their own personalities. Introductions, first-impressions, on-site interviews before the show, quizzes about the history of the company, and rapid-fire questions from the potential employers — Welcome to “The Job.” Is it any good?...

Two years ago, a conversation Michael Davies had with his daughter, then a 19-year-old college student, inspired him to create a reality show about people trying to find employment.
"When she finished up freshman year at school, she told me that she had no intention of going back for her sophomore year," Davies tells TVGuide.com. "And when I asked her why, she said because none of the graduating seniors in her college have real jobs."
And thus, CBS's The Job, which premieres Friday at 8/7c, was born.

Ray Richmond is contributing to Deadline’s TCA coverage. Reality TV megaproducer Mark Burnett may have caused a few eyes to widen this morning during a TCA panel promoting the new midseason CBS business competition series The Job (premiering February 8th) when he said at the outset of the discussion that the series “proves a kinder approach on television does work.” This, from the man who helped to pioneer the reality competition genre with the cutthroat Survivor, which launches its astonishing 26th cycle this year. “No one’s ripped down” in The Job, Burnett went on. “America doesn’t want to see people ripped down.” The Job gives candidates from around the country a chance to win positions at top companies. Hosted by Lisa Ling, each episode features a handful of candidates who endure several rounds of elimination challenges before a panel of executives while competing for their dream job.

Diane Haithman is contributing to Deadline’s TCA coverage. Talking up the network’s mid-season cop drama Golden Boy, CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler said today at TCA that they initially had seen the new lead-in for Blue Bloods as a “star vehicle” for Theo James, portraying an ambitious cop who becomes the youngest police commissioner in the history of New York City. But she said when network executives watched the pilot, they began seeing the relationship between James’ character and his mentor-father figure on the force, Chi McBride’s Detective Dan Owen. “You could see the show was evolving into a different kind of show, a two-hander between these two actors,” said Tassler of the drama, created by NYPD Blue / Law & Order veteran Nicholas Wootton and executive produced by Wootton and Greg Berlanti.
