CW’s ‘The Beautiful Life’: CANCELED!

The Ashton Kutcher-produced series “The Beautiful Life,” a scripted drama about the seamy side of modeling, is the first casualty of the new fall TV season. After airing only two episodes, The CW announced Friday it was pulling the series starring Mischa Barton and that production had ceased.

It’s actually kind’a shocking, because they have a 4 out of 5 star rating from it’s viewers. But, I guess that’s how CW gets down. Remember what happened to The Game? Loved that show. This is obviously because CW didn’t do enough promo. I would have never known about the show if I wasn’t into blogging. I mean, have you EVER seen a commercial for the series???

The debut episode lost about 60 percent of the audience of its lead-in, “America’s Next Top Model,” while the second episode only attracted 1 million viewers. For now The CW looks to be filling the newly vacant timeslot with encores of the revamped “Melrose Place,” a show also receiving dismal ratings. One hit the network does have is “Vampire Diaries,” which has been performing well and continues to build its audience.
