Ashton Kutcher's Beautiful Life lives again on YouTube
Fortune Brainstorm Tech reports that Ashton Kutcher's TV series on CW with Misha Barton, and Elle MacPherson, The Beautiful Life , which was canceled after only two episodes, will come back to life on the Web at youtube.com/user/TBL and good news - the videos are not geographically blocked, at least not the first two episodes-, they are viewable by international users (thank you AK for that!).
I really enjoyed the first two episodes and was shocked and disappointed that it was canceled. It's a good thing this was Ashton Kutcher's project because he knows a thing or two about producing on the Internet.
A show on the life of models in Manhattan has such an appeal and the acting was great. It made no sense that it was canceled in the first place.
According to Fortune Brainstorm Tech, "the Web venture will be funded by Hewlett-Packard and get distribution help from YouTube. Kutcher’s Katalyst Media plans to post a total of five episodes online and keep them there for six months. Two episodes are up already, three coming next week.
If the show draws enough engaged viewers, it could live on – either as an online-only show or back on TV." That would be such a great victory for Kutcher and his cast. Take that CW!
