Posted this in the ratings area but re-posting here as well... CW has renewed The Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, & Arrow. No surprise here. 90210 looks like it is being cancelled this Season!! Waiting for confirmation on this, but if that's the case, it's out of the running... Shows writers are allegedly working on a satisfactory ending to the show though for this season as the show is doing terrible rating-wise & has already had over 100 episodes. Looks like the CW has decided not to keep it around. We will know shortly. No news on Nikita, but due to syndication, it would be shocking to see it cancelled. So I'm going to count it as a renewal despite it's super low demo ratings. That means two spots remain. Contenders: BATB, HOD, TCD, & Cult. I think it's going to be BATB & HOD. But it's too early just yet because TCD has only had 1 good week (maybe they'll keep having good weeks) and Cult hasn't even premiered. Why? HOD has proved itself over 2 seasons that it is a self-starter AND can go on different nights & retain its fanbase. Plus, it'd pair up OK with some of the new pilots. True, it maybe has similar fans to TCD but HOD is closer to syndication which makes it a better contender than TCD. Plus HOD has great internet & DVR numbers, and it's set in modern day and not filmed in NY. Why BATB? Pedowitz has hinted that SPN & Arrow will continue to be paired up next Fall on Wednesdays and that TVD will remain in its Thursday timeslot. That means CW needs a veteran show to pair with new shows. Most of the shows are sci-fi/fantasy based. That means they're going to either keep BATB or Cult. Given how Cult is pretty much dead in the water, CW doesn't even seem to care about it, barring something strange happening or BATB's ratings plummeting - BATB has the edge over TCD & Cult. Beasties, it's now on us to make the CW know we want this show. Polls & Twitter help, but please, please focus on Yolanda's BATB Fan Collage & the BATB Fan Campaign bookdrive. Just about all the Beasties on here have photoshop, send Yolanda a graphic and/or a picture of you holding a sign saying you want a season 2. Yolanda's video will be posted on YouTube for us to Tweet, Tumble, Facebook, share and make viral. AND Yolanda is sending the video to the network heads. BATB Fan Collage Video Website: sites.google.com/site/savebatb/youtube& Discuss it here: saveeachother.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=brave&action=display&thread=149AND if you haven't already, go out and purchase the book for the BATB Fan Campaign (if you intend on mailing it yourself). Mail the book on March 5th. (International Beasties can mail on February 28th if they want since mail outside the US, especially mail coming from overseas, will take longer to reach the CW.) If you intend on purchasing a book or books online, just bookmark the page for the book(s) and set money aside. At the end of the month, purchase the book(s) so it will ship out to CW around March 5th. How Brave is Your Love? BATB Fan Campaign Website: sites.google.com/site/savebatb& Discuss it here:saveeachother.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=brave&action=display&thread=147Let's flood the CW's mailroom you guys with our demands for a season 2, and get BATB Season 2!

Fire and Ice (Jacki) is really good at making these analyses! I think we need her to enlighten us here... Edit: Oh, there we go! She posted as I was posting... Thanks, Jacki! Not a problem. I'm happy to analyze the data that's currently available. Right now - despite last week's 0.6 - BATB is in a good position. It's true we're currently in a 3-way battle with HOD & TCD, and that Cult will be factored in soon, but I think HOD & BATB are what CW would choose if the decision were made today. That's good news, guys. But it doesn't mean it can't change. We need to try to get back to 0.7 this week and keep it at 0.7 (or higher) as much as possible the rest of the season. Also Beasties outside of the US, tune in if it's playing on one of your local stations. If International numbers are up, this helps. CW gives a lot of weight to how well the show is doing outside of the US. US Beasties, go to cwtv.com and/or Hulu as CW is tracking both of these sites and watch BATB. (I'm not sure if outside the US can access these websites...but if you can, watch.) We can do this you guys!

I feel better now too! I was beginning to lose hope, but now it all makes better sense. We cannot let them take BATB away from us after one season! We WILL do this!

in a way i am hopeful cause i dont think that they have talked to the writers about not having another season since they are writing the final episode as e speak and they are saying that they are in the same limbo as us about not knowing if we have another season. SO good news there isn't a NO on the table, bad news if it ends up being that we dont get season 2, which will not happen knowing us beasties, we wont get a closed ending, so probably a cliffy in the end.... so being in this position it just gives me so much hope! (imagine cat saying this as in bridesmaids up!)

Hello! Since I'm from Spain and I can not help getting ratings up (we can not access CW online web), I've been thinking that maybe we could make some movements through twitter (I'm newbie at twitter too... all due to BATB!! amazing!)... Anyway, what I was thinking is that maybe we could get connected with the main fans of other TVshows like TVD, Arrow, SPN, ... and ask them to help increase this ratings. Since these other TVshows are from the same network and they don't compete directly with BATB, it could be a way to get some more viewers, don't you think? Just a though... the thread of BATB not getting a second season really activates my creativity!

Sorry if this had already been posted somewhere else, I just panicked lol Feel better now though Oh I just put it under ratings because it had to do with renewal based on ratings. I think it's perfectly OK to make a separate thread for this as well as it may fuel a lot of discussion. BTW, don't ever feel bad about posting something here. Often we all get info at the same time & may post at the same time. The mods will take care of it if a thread needs to be merged when news breaks about something. Hello!

Just a though... the thread of BATB not getting a second season really activates my creativity! savana, there are ways you can help. Does BATB play in Spain? If not, how are you watching it? Are you purchasing it on iTunes? Also please check out Yolanda's BATB Fan Collage video. For that you can e-mail her a video or a picture. It's completely free to participate. Yolanda's a member here, so if you have any questions, she'd be glad to answer them and help you out. There is also the BATB Fan Campaign that's sending Beauty & the Beast books to the CW. I'm organizing that campaign, so I can answer any of your questions or help you out. With that campaign, Beasties all over the world are going to purchase a book that is based on the tale of Beauty & the Beast. It can be a children's book, a romance novel, a fairy tale book -- used or new -- hardcover or paperback. Language the book is in also doesn't matter, the important thing is that we have a book to represent each Beastie. The book does not have to be expensive, and if you don't want to worry about shipping it out yourself you can purchase it online. Amazon has a site for Spain ( www.amazon.es) they will ship to the US on your behalf and even take care of the Customs forms for you. If you purchase the book from Amazon itself (not a third-party selling on Amazon), you can select that the book is a "Gift" when its in your shopping cart just before checkout. By sending it as a Gift, you can add a message for free along with the book. You can use the message to ask for a second season. And like you pointed out, you can be involved via Twitter as well. No Beastie is more important than another Beastie based on their location. We can all help out the show.

This doesn't really mean too much either way for BATB. It's not at all surprising that those 3 were renewed early, b/c they are the top 3 rated shows for the network.
CW always does a few early renewals in Feb. or March and the rest usually come in May.

Fire and ice, thanks for your help! BATB is not in my country yet, so I just watch it over the internet. I have already tweeted to TVDfansonline, which are followed by more than 15.000 people... I tried to promote BATB and ask them for help watching our favorite show. Let's hope they are generous, now that they have another season for sure I will also check this idea of purchasing a book and sending it with a note. Not that good making videos or photos, so I will just leave that for the experts! I can't wait for thursday, not only for the kiss (or almost kiss) but to try to trend again, and hopefully get better ratings than past week! It's so good to see that there is a lot of people out there sharing the same passion for this show as I do! Thanks to all of you for your posts and comments! Roar beasties, roar!!!
