Ratings Review: BEAUTY & THE BEAST (Season Three)

Sometimes, wait, a lot of the time, the decisions The CW has make absolutely no sense. Bringing BEAUTY & THE BEAST back for a third season was a mistake as season two''s ratings tanked under a million viewers. What is worse is that the series will be back for a fourth season.

In the Live+Sd ratings, BEAUTY & THE BEAST averaged 860,000 viewers, a 0.2 rating in Adults 18-34 and 18-49 and a 0.3 rating in Adults 25-54.

The DVR ratings only added, at most, another one tenth of a point to the A18-49 ratings, by the seventh day of release. Horrible, just horrible.
