The new series Beautiful Life has been canceled by the CW network after only two episodes. Production on the Ashton Kutcher series was filiming Friday when they were told to shut down.

Wednesday's episode was watched by only 1 million viewers, and received only a 0.5 rating.

CW's Melrose Place has also had some trouble getting off the ground, but the Vampire Diaries seems to be going strong.

A rerun of Melrose Place will replace the timeslot on Wednesday left open by Beautiful Life.

The main driver behind the CW’s order to“TBL” was the similarity in setting with the network’s veteran reality series “America’s Next top Model,” which served as its lead-in on Wednesday.

“TBL” got a lot of pre-launch publicity stemming from the medical problems of star Mischa Barton.

I think the show should be brought back. I don't think it was even given a chance to see if it chould make it. Two shows is not enough to see if a show can make it. I loved the two shows that I saw, and was really getting into it, and then it got cancelled out of no where. Everyone else I've talked to also loved it, and doesn't understand why it was cancelled. PLEASE BRING IT BACK, AND GIVE IT A CHANCE TO MAKE IT. I know it will the first two shows were amazingly great. There has got to be a way for it to be brought back. Please cansider it. and pass this along. Also if you loved to show write and ask for it to be save and brought back if enough of us do they might just listen to us, and bring it back. Thank you for listening to me, and please pass this along if you feel the same way. Once again Thank You, Belinda
