The Beautiful Life Gets Cancelled After Only Two Episodes!
The CW has pulled the plug on The Beautiful Life after airing only two episodes. The ratings were dismal for the premiere and apparently things weren't looking up after the second week on the air. This makes TBL the first of the new Fall shows to be canceled after two other new CW shows — Melrose Place and The Vampire Diaries — were both picked up for more episodes.
TV Tonight: 90210 Is Back — Will It Be Better?
I don't know about you, but my love-hate relationship with the CW's 90210 reboot has endured. Therefore, I'm feeling both trepidation and excitement for tonight's return of the show.
When we last saw our troubled friends from the famous zip code, all kinds of drama was a brewin': Something is seriously wrong with Silver based on her erratic mood swings; Ethan caught Annie using Rhonda's sob story in acting class and is not too pleased with her; and Naomi's hot bar guy, Liam, is peeved at her for sending him back to high school.
Gossip Girl Spinoff News: It's All About Lily!
OK, this news is blowing my dome on so many levels. First of all, the news itself:
After months of gossip and speculation, [Gossip Girl] creators/exec producers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage are proceeding with a spinoff that will serve as a prequel to the hot sophomore drama and chronicle the wild teen years of Lily van der Woodsen (Kelly Rutherford) in Los Angeles in the 1980s.

First Look: Valentine
The CW's new Sunday night programming block starts in early October, and of the four new shows, I'm most curious to check out Valentine, which is about a family of Greek gods who now live among us in a world where Mount Olympus is just off the freeway from LA's Laurel Canyon.
My reasons for being excited for the show are twofold: I've seen the whole "historical figures from such-and-such a time try to navigate modern society" concept work before (anyone else ever watch Clone High?), and I'm glad to see another alum of The OC — Autumn Reeser, in this case — get a job. There's also the whole thing of having Aphrodite, Eros, and Hercules shacking up together, which has the potential to be amusing, especially while they're living out their mission of helping everyday folks find love.
