The cancel hammer fell faster this season than I expected. After only two episodes, even The CW’s lower ratings expectations couldn’t save The Beautiful Life. The real reason The CW canceled The Beautiful Life: TBL is right there in the title. How pretentious do you have to be to put your acronym in your title?
Acronyms are earned. Acronyms like OTH, VD and MP. Those stand for shows that are doing much better for The CW. The network has tossed a full season order to the veteran One Tree Hill. They came a little short of that with The Vampire Diaries, ordering nine more scripts, but a full-season pick-up can’t be far behind. While TBL slipped to one million, VD achieved 3.8 million and growing.
As for Melrose Place, it’s not doing nearly as well, but The CW is maybe hoping that Heather Locklear can save this iteration the way she did the original. I’m not so sure, but they’ve got six more scripts to prove their case.
