First causality 2009 season

Well the first causality of the season is The Beautiful Life. Wow, the networks did not even give it fair chance. I was enjoying this show, but apparently, not enough people watched the first two episodes to leave it on. So instead, they are going to air repeats of Melrose Place in the time slot, even through they have four more episodes already filmed. I am interested to see how that works for them. I get so tired of watching new shows only to have them pulled off the sir before they even get a chance. I know so many people that will not even watch a new show until either it makes it DVD or a second season. These network execs are going to miss the next big sleeper hit, like Cheers or Picket Fences, because they will not give shows a chance to find a fan base.
