The CW�s �Beauty And The Beast� Gets Full Season Order
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

Beauty And The Beast Full Season Order CWThe CW has handed a
full-season order to Beauty And The Beast. This is the second CW
freshman series to get a back-nine order following the network�s
pickup of Arrow last month. Beauty And The Beast has not been the
breakout hit that Arrow has been but the show inched up in the ratings
last night in total viewers and all key adult demos despite its
lead-in, The Vampire Diaries, dipping a bit. Season to date, Beauty
And The Beast, starring Kristin Kreuk and Jay Ryan, is averaging 2.4
million viewers and a 0.9 rating among adults 18-34, according to
�most current� Nielsen data. Ratings-wise, Beauty And The Beast ranks
second behind Arrow among the CW�s new series. The third, Emily Owens
MD, is still awaiting word on a back episodic order after receiving a
three-script pickup last month. While it lags behind Beauty And The
Beast, Emily Owens is handicapped by a weak lead-in from Hart Of Dixie
vs. Vampire Diaries, which opens for Beauty And The Beast.

Beauty And The Beast is based on the 1980s series. Sherri Cooper and
Jennifer Levin wrote the adaptation and serve as two of the series� 11
(!) executive producers. CBS TV Studios is the studio.

Yep. If CW is ordering a back 9 for BatB, they might as well do one ofr
EMILY OWENS MD as well. Clearly CW just doesn't have enough product in the
development pipeline to replace shows that are not doing well. Looking at
the other networks, though, maybe this is the trend for all of them...it
won't matter if ratings are bad, they are going to stick with the shows
anyway rather than pay for development on additional turnover. it would
probably make sense given how few relief pitcher style shows catch on.

The acting isn't quite as bad as Arrow but I'd put both shows at the same
level. I like the girl, she comes across as genuine.

I'd rather she, and Nicole Gale Anderson, were on a much, much better
show, though...
