Sara Paxton of the recently canceled show The Beautiful Life is none to pleased with the CW’s decision to give the show the axe after only two episodes.
Paxton opens up about the situation in a new interview and, bless her heart, she thought the show was “amazing!”
Here are some HIGHlights:
On how the cast was told the show was canceled:
It├óΓé¼Γäós unbelievable the way that they told us├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥we were all in the middle of work…And all of a sudden, they got the call, and the producers had to make an announcement on set that we were done├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥that we were over! And I was sitting there in shock. I couldn├óΓé¼Γäót believe that in the middle of work, the rug was pulled out beneath our feet…Everyone was just devastated. It was horrible. Terrible.
On the lack of marketing for the show:
We were worried because our show didn’t get as much marketing as other shows. Everywhere you go in New York City, you see Melrose Place posters everywhere—I see Vampire Diaries everywhere. And CW, they just didn’t put any money into advertising for our show whatsoever.
On executive producer Ashton Kutcher:
I think he’s just as disappointed as all of us. This had his name on it, and it was his first scripted series. I don’t understand how they’ve given so many shows in the past a chance, and not ours. I mean why ours? Why us? It blows my mind.
On The CW’s decision not to air the remaining episodes:
It├óΓé¼Γäós a slap in the face! It├óΓé¼Γäós almost like we were part of this family and now suddenly we├óΓé¼Γäóre dropped. And oh my God, episodes three, four and five were going to be amazing. That├óΓé¼Γäós what really sucks. You├óΓé¼Γäóve got to have time to let a show get its legs and find an audience, especially when they├óΓé¼Γäóre putting zero dollars into advertising…And if they had just given it more time to really catch a fan base I think it could├óΓé¼Γäóve been huge for the CW. I really think they missed out, and I really think they├óΓé¼Γäóre missing out on a huge opportunity for themselves.
We don’t know if we’d go that far, but we do think it was a pretty harsh decision after only TWO episodes.
Don’t worry, Sara! You’re a cute girl and you’ll get another job.
Not sure if we can say the same for Mushy!
