ABC Debuts ‘Fat March’
August 7, 2007 11:41 AM
ABC premiered “Fat March” last night (take that, “Masters of Science Fiction” fans) flanked by original episodes of “Wife Swap” and “Supernanny.” Despite the all-original lineup, the network tied CBS for third place. “March” got a 1.6 rating among adults 18 to 49, “Swap” got a 2.4 and “Supernanny” a 2.2.
Fox led the pack yet again with “Hell’s Kitchen” (4.1) and a repeat.
NBC was second with a one-hour edition of “The Singing Bee” (2.4), the season finale of “Age of Love” (2.5) and “Dateline” (2.5). Although “Bee” was down 25 percent from last Tuesday’s airing and posted a series low, this is the first original episode that has not aired with an “America’s Got Talent” lead-in. “Love” matched its premiere rating to finish on a relative high note.
CBS tied for third with repeats, though it’s worth noting “Two and a Half Men” was the second highest-rated program of the night.

I wish them the best. The participants will feel a sense of accomplishment when they are finished, and this will have to boost their self- esteem. Where do I signup?

Fat doesn't "march" people march. Maybe they'll show people, suffering from morbid obesity syndrome, with heads.

This show is an inspiration to all of us who are obese. It takes courage to endure past our comfort zone. I pray all make it.
