This is on article that i read and it was posted too on wikipedia.

On December 17, 2009, executive producer Ashton Kutcher reported on The Beautiful Life's official Youtube channel that because of the cancellation, the remaining episodes will be released online. If the episodes gain more hits online, more new episodes may be produced exclusively for the Web. The first three episodes were released online, with the last two premiering Monday, December 21, 2009.[18] Thanks to a sponsorship deal with Hewlett Packard, the five first episodes are available. Kutcher is hoping that the high production quality of the show will increase its audience size on YouTube, which will in turn lure sponsors to finance more episodes.The official YouTube channel also includes a number of short videos featuring the main cast members talking about the "beautiful changes" they have planned for 2010, plus a number of other videos connected with the show.

Go watch the episodes , subscribes to the account of TBL on youtube and go sign the petition http://www.petitiononline.com/tblcw321/petition.html. Talk about it to your friends and they might do the same thing.

Who knows another network might be interested to air the beautiful life. Lets not give up. It has only been cancel for like 4 months. We could still have a chance.

Oh, a ton of people have been watching it. Have you seen how many posts they have for episodes from 1 to 5? When will they show episode 6?

I heard that they only filmed 6 or 7 episodes then the show got cancelled. So those 5 episodes on youtube might be the only ones that we will see. Pretty sad.

I know that there've been a lot of people that have watched the show. On the TBL channel on youtube it's written that the total upload views is 2,816,918. Which is good but I think it's only for the 5 episodes combined. For The 3rd episode : 447,379 views . For the 4th episode: 237,828 views. And for the 5th 237,699 views. The numbers haved decrease in some way.

It's so stupid people can't judge a tv show with only 2-3 episodes. For most of the shows that i watch it took me at least 4-5 episodes to know if I like or not the show.

Anwz maybe the compagnies don't want to sponsor for more episodes cause they scared of spending there money for nothing cause for them the show haven't been watched enough. They were hoping to have at least 500 000 to 1 million viewers for each episodes posted on youtube.

Lol Ashton should produced them he must have a lot of money and connection. No, but seriously I'm pretty sure he's doing the best he can.

People think it's stupid to make a tv show with actors who are playing models. They think that it's fake, but they'll go watch america's next top model. I'm sorry but most of all of the contestants that have been on that show were already models. They were just not known. There's a lot of them that i've seen in my old magazine and they were modelling for hair style or other things like that. It's not the girl next door who gets to have the chance to be a model. Most of the stuff that are called reality show are fake. So why not just watch a tv show that has a good script !!! TBL has good potential .

They can't just stop there! I want to see which one Raina ends up with & what will happen to Sonja & Claudia's husband. And what about Issac too?! There is still more story to tell. I think that they should play it on Lifetime before Project Runway. I guess that I like this show because it reminds me of a 90's prime time soap Model's Inc.

And you're so right about not being able to judge a show by only 2 episodes. They didn't even give this show a chance to build up a fan base. I think that they should have put it before Gossip Girl & moved One Tree Hill to Wednesdays since it already has a following. The competition for that time slot was too much with ABC's comedies & Glee on Fox. It had no chance. I was hoping that they would keep it on youtube & show it on there from now on, but I guess that's not going to happen either.

The reason they cancel a show so quickly is strictly about money. A show is generally picked up for 13 episodes initially. If the show is canceled after they have shot 7 episodes, they have to pay the cast for the entire 13 shows. If they cancel before 7 eps, then they're only paid for the completed shows. Even though only 2 shows had aired, they probably had already completed 5 or 6, so with lousy ratings, they pulled the plug before they were stuck paying for the entire 13. It happens all the time.

I know that this happens all of the time. They don't give shows a chance like they used to. There were many shows that were on the verge of cancellation in the past, but stayed on & picked up many viewers & became fan favorites. The original Melrose Place, BH 90210, and Cheers comes to mind. But alas those were different days and times.

Get all your friends and family to subscribe to the YT channel and watch the episodes, cause when they get enough subscribers and upload views they can continue to make the show!!!
