Help save The Beautiful Life (or you could just do your laundry or something)

If all of the people who watched the first two episodes of The Beautiful Life signed this petition...well, the show would still be canceled (if you had TBL in the office "which show will get canceled first" pool, congrats!).Cancellations + the web = instant petitions. A TV show used to just die and then that would be it. Oh, sometimes something happens where a show gets a second chance (exec taking a chance, summer reruns getting good ratings, the show doing well on DVD, buzz, etc), but it's a long shot. And now, whenever a show is canceled the web gives us the opportunity to create and/or sign a petition to get the show renewed.
Even in the world of surprise renewals (Jericho) though, getting another season (or even more episodes - there are four unaired) of this show is an impossible dream for fans.
The CW doesn't even have a link to the show anymore.
