The CW cancels The Beautiful Life
September 25, 2009 by Cheril Vernon
The CW has canceled new show The Beautiful Life after only airing only two episodes.
The show included Mischa Barton, Sara Paxton, Corbin Bleu, Nico Tortorella, Ashley Madekwe, Ben Hollingsworth and Elle Macpherson on its ensemble cast.
Sadly, it was the first show of the fall season to get the axe.
The Beautiful Life, which aired on Wednesday nights, drew 1.5 million viewers in its first week and dropped to 1 million viewers in its second week.
The CW made the announcement late Friday that The Beautiful Life, a drama created by Ashton Kutcher about young fashion models trying to make it in new York, would be canceled.
The CW plans to show repeats of Melrose Place in its place on Wednesday nights.
Ironically, the cast was shooting its seventh episode on Friday when the network made its announcement.
For the record, I was really into the show and not just because of Mischa Barton. And I wasn’t the only one. Several people I know said they liked the show more than Melrose Place and 90210.
You know, not every new show can be The Vampire Diaries – jumping on the tailcoats of the Twilight craze. And while The Vampire Diaries appears to be a good show, it was given a lot more marketing – as well as Melrose Place, than The Beautiful Life ever received.
I was hoping The CW would give it more than two weeks before making a decision. The fall season just started and many shows haven’t even made their debuts. Could The CW not wait to see?
WTF!!!!!!!
Vampire Diaries and Melrose place are soo unoriginal!!!!
hwo could cw be so ignorent, its only been 2 episodes
Sign and show to everybody. SAVE TBL!
