Also for those in the u.s. can u let us know if they advertise it during flash tvd and other shows the two weeks leading to the premiere? I suspect they won't bother I will do my best to keep you guys informed. Don't watch the CW at all except for BATB but will turn in here and there to see what going on but I have a feeling you will be correct we "won't see much promo from CW" for out beloved show BATB. Okay I'm gonna give the CW the benefit of the doubt here and now..for obvious reasons... 1. This is the FIRST real scripted TV show that will have a SUMMER premiere and air solely in the summer. CW has never done that before, and since this show is first of a kind for that reason, I believe the CW will plug it as that. Pedowitz said back when that he wanted to change the network in the sense that he wanted to have scripted shows ALSO in summer. IF he is going to make this work and have other shows on CW follow BATB footsteps they have to advertize this change. So IMO we will get more then we have in previous years JUST because of this. 2. Now that it's a SUMMER show, the ' publicity' isn't as feirce as in the regular season shows. BATB would be the ONLY scripted show on CW for THIS SUMMER at least so it will get more exposure from the network. My 2 cents Yolie

Did they announce yet if Canada will air the episode in the same night with USA or a night before like last year ? i hope they both air at the same night , i guess it would help the rating a little !

The only thing it says about BATB, on Showcase, (which airs BATB), is that it's coming soon. Unfortunately, it doesn't mention anything about when it will return.

My 2 cents Yolie With all the talk about the CW's new focus on expanding summer season scripted content, I'm fully expecting them to promote BATB as their flagship summer show. I'm also hoping to see the cast at the Upfronts for the same reason. I don't think they need another show's finale as the lead in, as long as they run commercials during the other shows so CW viewers know BATB is back and know the premier date. Thursdays might have been tough during the regular season, but I'm not sure what we're up against during the summer. I still like the Thursday slot much better than Monday. We might get back some of the TVD viewers who used to watch it on Thursdays during season 1, since it will takeover TVD's slot. I really hope that Showcase airs it on the same day and time in Canada, or later, but not before the CW.

BATB would be the ONLY scripted show on CW for THIS SUMMER at least so it will get more exposure from the network. My 2 cents Yolie Last summer, the CW aired Seed and Backpackers, both of which were original scripted shows that aired only in the summer. Seed was a Canadian import but Backpackers came from the CW's own digital content hub. Both were pulled and cancelled after getting 0.2 and 0.1 in the 18-49 demo. The CW has burned off shows like Cult in the summer, but I think Beauty will be the first CW show to go from being aired in the regular season to the summer. Except for WLIIA, which was a known entity, I think the CW's attempts to launch new shows, whether scripted or not, during the summer has been a bust. I think that is one of the reasons, they are trying an established show now.

I really hope that Showcase airs it on the same day and time in Canada, or later, but not before the CW. For the regular season, it looked to me like the 8pm shows on the CW usually did better than the 9pm shows. I think only SPN sometimes did better than its lead-in and maybe ANTM. My thinking was that hour long dramas at 8pm had less competition in that the other networks usually had comedies or reality shows during that time. Don't know if that is true in the summer though when people tend to stay out and enjoy the longer daylight hours. Jane the Virgin is showing that a CW show at 9pm on Monday can get at least a 0.5 or 0.6 so I don't think Mondays are that bad. However, last year, Monday at 9pm was a bad slot for Beauty because you had another SciFi genre show against it in Sleepy Hollow which did very well its first season, Monday Night Football was on in the fall and Beauty was actually the 4th most popular show on the CW with males, and pairing it with HOD made some people incorrectly assume that season 2 was going to be more female skewing.

Rumor has it I was correct when I said we'd see some sort of promo for BATB.. So happened someone on twitter posted that a short 5 second mention of BATB was attached with IZombie this evening on CW. Right now I have the station on to see if I see it for myself. If so I will post what I saw.

It was followed up later with a reply describing the segment as having quick scenes and a roar. Gotta set my DVR now to record CW shows that I do not watch just to see if I can catch that commercial. I figure they might run it again on Monday since IZombie premiers on Tuesday.
