The Beautiful Life Ends
Well, folks we have our first canceled show of the year! That honor is going to The Beautiful Life, which premiered only a couple of short weeks ago. This series came to us from Ashton Kutcher, and it was plagued with problems over the summer when one of the series stars, Mischa Barton, had some problems that landed her in rehab for a brief time. Some thought her role would be recast before the season started.
However, Mischa remained involved, and the series went to air. Now, production was halted on Friday while the seventh episode was being shot. After only one million tuned in to see this week’s episode. Not a high turnout at all. The plug was quickly pulled, and a new series will be put in its place. I didn’t catch the series myself, but I know it was one of the hyped series of the summer, and with Mischa’s off-screen antics, you would think some would tune in, but it didn’t work out that way. No further episodes of the series will air.
Earlier this week, Glee became the first full season pick-up of the year over on Fox. What do you think? Was the plug pulled on The Beautiful Life too soon?
