Beauty and the Beast: CW TV Series Gets Full Season

Published:November 9, 2012

Beauty And The Beast full seasonThe CW has ordered a full season of their freshman fantasy drama Beauty and the Beast. Though the series loses a significant portion of its Vampire Diaries lead-in audience, the show is apparently doing well enough for the smallest network — at least for this season.

Here’s the press release from The CW:

I don’t understand this negativity either. I absolutley am hooked on the characters and the story. I can hardly wait from one week to the next for this program to come back on again. I really hate having to wait until January 24th to watch it again. Please don’t let these negative people cause this tv program to be cancelled like so many other shows have been cancelled that were good ( Beauty & The Beast) is better than just good!
Why do you always listen to the negative people. Tell them to watch something else if they don’t like it. There are other channels.

Absolutely love the show! I’ve visited alot of various sites, and there are alot of great feedbacks and I’ve seen lots of people who also love the show and have watched all the episodes to date. While critics have their own opinions, ultimately the fans and people that support and watch the show are the ones that matter ! Please give Beauty and the Beast a chance, and not judge too soon. The series have great potential, and we have not seen a true romantic story on TV in such a long time ! Supporters of the show need to have our voices heard !

I love this show, it has great characters, especially the chemistry between Cat & Vincent. If we miss an episode we watch it on Hulu, I’ve watched the last episode(aired 12/13) five times. I like the WB because you offer so many different types of shows with interesting stories or concepts.

I love this show, it has great characters & is a lot more interesting than the mindless sitcoms(most of which are not funny at all)seen by the dozens on TV. If we miss an episode we watch it on Hulu, I’ve watched the last episode(aired 12/13) five times. Love the chemistry between Cat & Vincent. I like the WB because you offer so many different types of shows with interesting stories or concepts.

I am hooked on this show, mostly because of the chemistry between the two characters. The writers should steal a couple of pages from the twilight books in terms of how to move along an impossible love story…. We are not children watching…

Fantastic series!!! I like Beauty and the Beast and its the only non-sport show that I watch at TV. I believe critics should have given the TV series a higher rating =D Well! who can blame them if they give low ratings?!! haha they are CRITICS and will always or usually give negative feedback instead of persuading viewers to watch a certain TV series. I hope there would be not just Season 2 but SEASON 200 =D

I also watch reruns and never miss an episode. I Look forward to it just as much as TVD! I’m really pulling for this TV series! Maybe if episodes end on more “cliff-hangers” it will keep people coming back for more.
