Oh, Fuck Me.

This is yet another one of those “One of my Facebook friends messaged me …” stories.  You’ve probably realized by now that my Facebook friends don’t actually like me.  They throw horrible notes up on my wall such as “I heard that The Beautiful Life might be coming back on the air” and then they go hide behind their Farmville application for days at a time.

It’s not official and when I say “not official” you should know that I’m referring to “my last ray of hope.”  Because if this shit comes back on the air, I’ll have to go back to watching it.  The last time I was subjected to this visual massacre, I spent three days in ICU.  Not really, but I did have digestive issues for a week.  Here’s the scoop:

The show’s Facebook page indicated that the CW will be airing the remaining two episodes — it cracks me up that they only filmed four –this summer.  Though there has been no talk of renewal, those unseen episodes could possess just the right amount of magic to make that happen.

Listen, there’s only one way this show is ever going to garner interest enough to be picked up by any network.  If, in episode three (the first of the two yet-to-be-aired) Mischa’s character gets killed in the opening credits and then the rest of the characters refer to episodes one and two as having been just a bad dream, maybe, just maybe there will be enough of an audience to see a Season Two.  Or a Season One continuation.  In other words, this cannot happen.  The show can’t exist without Misch and she’s through with television.  She’s too talented for TV — she promised me she wouldn’t do another series and I’m holding her to it — and is focusing all her attention on movie scripts now.  This pledge cannot be broken, Misch.

  • I was an extra on the first episode, and some of the people I met (and kept in contact with) continued to appear on the show. I know for a fact that they filmed several episodes, not just 4 total. There were quite a few weeks of filming. So, sorry Wendy, but you may be subjected to more than just 2 more…
