Consisting of eight half-hour episodes, the first season ran on MTV in the U.S. in the summer of 2004, debuting on June 16 and airing every Wednesday until the last episode on August 4. The show proved quite successful, airing at 10:30 PM Eastern Standard Time—the time slot just after Ashlee's sister Jessica Simpson's already successful reality show Newlyweds—and helping to establish widespread recognition for Ashlee, whose album debuted on July 20 at number one in sales. Jordan Schur, the president of Simpson's record label, Geffen—who is himself is seen at several points in the show—said that "There's no question that it really helped expose her and her music. She's got a tremendous personality; people gravitate toward that. They want to watch her and listen to her music." http://msnbc.msn.com/id/5736482/
