All right. Just had to start an (admittedly) gripe thread on this one. I'll leave it to you guys to also sound off on this one. It just ROYALLY ticked me off (again--doesn't take much these days given how long I have gone without BATB in the first place).
Okay, so this article catches my attention on the Entertainment Section of my internet provider. It is an article from CinemaBlend, and it is entitled "10 TV Shows Most Likely to be Cancelled in 2015" or something to that effect. And yes, I stupidly clicked on the thing (but really, it was NOT expecting to see BATB on the list. I was looking to see if "Red Band Society" was on the list, as it is a favorite show of my mother's.) Of course, BATB is listed. GUESS what reason is given for the assumption that it is going to be cancelled? Because the CW has not given a Season 3 Premiere date. Basically, the article says that obviously if they have yet to schedule Season 3, it is not a priority and therefore must be on its way out.
This is what has been getting on my nerves for awhile now. I get that the CW is not going to give us press and all that to promote the show. And it sure didn't do anything to really promote the fact that it AGAIN won PCA's (third year in a row). But the failure to give a premiere date for so many many months certainly undermines confidence in the show. I get that there is only so much room on a network roster, but COME ON!! Press like this of the negative type is to be expected when you let it go this long. I mean, how hard would it be to have announced an expected start date? They could always push it back later, but at least then it would show that the network is, in fact, going to air it. Honestly, I pretty well much know the CW will air something since they have spent the money to film the 13 episodes, but it just does not help the show to have gone this long without at least giving a definite month it will air.
At any rate, at the end of the article, it asks you to identify which of the 10 shows you would miss the most. BATB is the one losing out of all 10, as it now shows only 3% would miss it. So for those of you out there, please scroll through the article to the poll at the end, and check that you will miss BATB the most.
So PLEASE go check that you would miss BATB on that poll at the end of that article.
And ALSO, PLEASE feel free to sound off other tales of woe to the fact that we don't YET have a Season 3 premiere date so that I can see that I am not sulking alone.
And if ANYONE HAS AN IDEA of how we can get the CW to at least give a Season 3 air date, let me know. I know that we can only do so many campaigns for BATB, but I don't want the CW to think that the fans have abandoned the show. I'll leave that to the more experienced ones in the know, but whatever I need to do, let me know and consider it done. Because stuff like this is somehow still really getting to me. (AND A LOT MORE OF US THAN 3% WOULD MISS OUR SHOW IF IT WAS GONE!!! Ack! That freaking little statistic is just somehow getting to me the most.)

Sadly, Anapi, that is why I just created a thread. I know nothing of links and how to post to get to them. This is the most technology that I have ever handled in joining the Forum. I literally got to the article because it was a link on the Entertainment section right beside an article that Phillip Phillips has filed a lawsuit against American Idol to try to get released from his contract. When I clicked on the Article about the top 10 shows that were expected to be cancelled, it took me to CinemaBlend and the article. I hope that helps some.

Voted.  And these types of articles usually wouldnt even faze me, IF BATB was actually airing. Honestly once filming is over I have no idea what I am going to do for another 3 months with nothing. No BTS info or pics, no promos, no definite air date. If it wasnt for the cast & crew giving us updates every once in awhile I dont think I wouldve lasted this long. |

Do you think the could go to SDCC? By then they should be airing so they could promote the last few episodes, or the season finale. I guess this all depends on what projects KK and Jay and/or Austin & Nina, are doing when WonderCon & SDCC comes around. I don't see Jay going, as I'm sure he will probably be back in NZ when WonderCon happens. |

Okay, ummm, for the completely ignorant here, what is Wondercon? Where and when does this take place?

If the CW follows last year's pattern, they should announce Beauty's return date sometime mid-April, which is when they announced the previous summer schedule. Maybe that is why they are holding the DVD release until then, assuming Stu's April DVD release info is correct. Beauty is their "big" title for the summer so it makes sense that they would use Beauty's return date to headline the summer schedule press release. Did anyone really care about Backpackers, Seed and Famous in 12 last year?

Like I've said before I never watch primetime tv and I just happened to come across BATB on Netflix bc I didnt want to be bored at a superbowl party (as I hate football) and it just hooked me. I was literally aghast at the ratings of this show. I dont understand how with every show that's out there that the one of the lowest rated tv shows on the air is what I choose to get hooked on? LOL |
