The CW has actually done little to promote "The Beautiful Life." Despite the show's premiere next Wednesday (9/16), critics have yet to receive a full episode to review. This is pretty rare; networks will at least send out screeners with temporary music, titles, sound and other unfinished bits in order to get shows in the hands of critics. Prior to summer press tour in July, media was provided only with twenty-five minutes of scenes. This often indicates the show's being recast or the pilot being re-shot, but in the case of "TBL," there was no recasting and no pilot to re-shoot. Just the scenes. Full story @ Zap2it
