For me they were never fully behind the show from the start and couldn't wait to cancel it. Bringing in a new show runner and writers too who had no clue about the essence of the show was the start of the end. So sad

I know many think I'm ridiculous for thinking and hoping this, but I still choose to believe that if people tune in to BATB this summer, they would rethink that cancellation. That cancellation came in the first place, in my belief, entirely from S3 being that absolute low-point of the series, dividing the fandom, and really proving Kern was the wrong person to helm the ship, if that was ever really in any doubt. Losing Jennifer and Sherri basically did us in as well, as they were really the ones that knew/wrote VinCat best.
Still, if people would just WATCH this summer! Jay and KK are very convincing in their performance, and if people would just give the show a chance, they would be hooked on them alone.
Even if the ratings went up but the CW still wouldn't undo their ill-thought decision, another network or service might still be persuaded to take on BATB for limited episodes. Again, I'm pledging to hope until all hope is gone.
(STILL griping against the CW, though. THAT will not be ending ANY time soon!)

Again, I'm pledging to hope until all hope is gone. (STILL griping against the CW, though. THAT will not be ending ANY time soon!) Without a doubt having Brad Kern as the show runner and losing Sherri & Jennifer completely changed the tone of the show in S3. But having said that, IMHO - Kern himself is a decent writer. His episodes "The Beast of Wall Street" and "Destined" are arguably 2 of the better episodes in S3, along with fan favorite "Chasing Ghosts" - written by Gillian Horvath. I think Kern also wrote "Shotgun Wedding" if I'm not mistaken. So as a writer I think he's okay, but as a show runner, that's a different story. For S2, Kern said the TPTB wanted to change the show in a direction that could attract a larger audience - which it failed to do. With S2 as water under the bridge, Kern was free to take the show in any direction and could have returned the show to the more romantic style of S1. But he chose yet another direction again - which also failed to help the ratings. S3 divided beasties to the point that those who were happy with it angered those who were upset or vice versa, almost to the breaking point where people like C. Ashton, G. Horvath and even Austin were getting tired of hearing complaints on social media. Given all that's happened, I think it would take a miracle to improve the ratings dramatically for S4. Nevertheless, I really do hope that S4 will be a season to remember, and given the episodes that Kern himself has written, there is hope. However, as a show runner, Kern's track record is very questionable at best. So again, I'm not really holding my breath for any S4 miracles.

I don't know ebeline I've read the article but I find it a little impersonal: I'm ok with the 3 reasons posted but I haven't understand the position of each reason and, more important, all things are described without any emotion inside, It doesn't intrigues me and so I won't be interested in watching the show reading the article. Just my opinion...

Just my opinion... Maybe you're right, if we read the article from our point of view with everything we know about the special sparkle.... Someone who absolutely knows nothing about the show might find this interesting. Only my thoughts.

The article is okay as advertisement for BATB and it might get some people interested.
Of course, when I read through it - knowing what we know now - I often shook my head and inwardly disagreed with her and my heart got heavy, remembering S2.
Maybe other people will get hooked - like we did - with S1 and then either suffer through S2 or maybe even like it. It could work.

I don't like KK in this pic, it doesn't make her justice but she is more or less the same in all the seasons. Vincent is totally different phisically (different haircut and different way of relating to peaople) and this pose is no longer connected to his character... I mean it was ok when he was hiding from the world and was ashamed of what he is like in S1... but now he has reached a new awareness on who he is and how much Cat loves him and the pic doesn't match
