Year-to-year, compared to The Secret Circle’s premiere in the same post-Vampire Diaries timeslot, the network was down by 8% in the demo (vs a 1.3 rating) and down 8% in viewership (vs 3.05 million). While these numbers were still very good, Beauty and the Beast won’t survive if its numbers fall like Secret Circle’s did.

Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.

What do you think? Do you like the Beauty and the Beast TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?

i think Beauty and the Beast DESERVES a 2nd season; the show is starting to heat up and has so much potential. i loved Secret Circle a lot, but don’t think it has any chance returning – the ship has sailed unfortunately; but B&theB still has a chance and CW would be wrong for canceling it… for one thing they need to advertise it more – show more promos in b/w other shows. whoever runs the advertising dept. is doing a bad job, this is why Secret Circle didn’t have a chance. CW has their fave shows and ONLY shows promos for them (i watch some they promote) now they need to do this w/the new shows that have come on.

Give BATB a chance. I want to see where the relationships between Cat and Vince,
Tess and the boss.
The show started a little slow but has picked up the pace. The charters had to be defined as the story unfolds.
Must be a S2….
