    This show is fun and looks to be one of the more promising shows in the fall TV line up. In the premiere episode I liked the story, the writing and the characters. I hope this show does well in the ratings so it stays on the air for at least two seasons.

    The general theme of the show is along the lines of Gossip Girl, but with models. As Gossip Girl is a well scripted drama with enough twists and beautiful people, The Beautiful Life: TBL is a winner in my book.

    A lot people are saying that the show was terrible, but i completely disagree. I liked it. It's a unique show that has different...purpose. The only other that has a similar look is America's Next Top Model. I mean...yeah the modeling industry may look good on the outside, but what about the inside.

    It's 2009: top-models have their babies and it's fine with everyone, so the script does suck. I am kinda sorry for Mischa: she's doing really good job. No, honest...

    Come on People... Critics are so old seriously. Should CW care what the critics say who look for absolute perfection or the rest of the world who actually enjoy it.

    Okay, let's face it..it's not Six Feet Under..but hey...it's entertaining..I get tired of always having to feel intelligent. I work a lot..can't I just come home and watch some mindless television? The show isn't going for an Emmy but ratings. I watched...and I will watch again...more entertaining than other crap on television.

    I have to agree with the reviews. Especially being a native NY'er. It's definitely no GIA, not even close. I switched to the news for something more interesting. If you can imagine that.

    This show is very well put together. It obviously failed due to poor advertisement and not because there was anything wrong with it.

    Most of the characters are about as distinctive as mannequins. You won't mind, though, because they're awfully nice to look at. But the disgraced supermodel is played by Mischa Barton, and this is where the show may achieve inadvertent poignancy.

    For all its well-designed moves, TBL is made of some pretty chintzy material.
  3. The Beautiful Life is designed to fit alongside CW anchors like "90210," except that even by those standards, it's pretty predictable and stilted.
