NEW YORK, New York -- Mischa Barton's "The Beautiful Life" may have been short-lived, but the actress said the canceled CW series showed a lot of promise. In fact, she says, the best was yet to come.

"We were really such a great show and the first two episodes were nothing. We shot amazing, big episodes - episodes four, five and six - and it's stuff that no one will ever see," she told Access Hollywood at Monday night's Whitney Museum gala in New York City.

"But they were unable to bring in an audience to it. It's like they've got two other franchises going on there at the same time, and we got swallowed up," she added of The CW. "It's more their loss, I think. It could've been I think a really, really cool show."

And while the show may not have survived very long, Mischa said she was appreciative of the fans who hopped on board the "Beautiful" bandwagon while they could.

"It was really sweet after [the show was canceled] because all these people Twittered the next day, like 10,000 people Twittered trying to save the show and stuff," Mischa continued. "It reminded me how important the core fan base is. Whatever bulls**t gets written, you know you've got fans out there who care."

As for Mischa herself, who said she is "moving on" and looking at various film and TV scripts, following the series' cancellation, she is enjoying adjusting to life spent on the East Coast.

"I'm loving it!" she said of staying in New York. "All my girlfriends live here, so it's nice to be bi-coastal and just go back and forth. I'm not giving up on Los Angeles, of course, but you know."
