Makes you wonder, Ugly Betty a success on Thurs. nite so they switch it to another nite. Samantha Who should be removed permanently. I dont know of anyone who watches that show, ABC gets rid of the good and keeps the garbage
OK, you people must be on crack or something…Ugly Betty is the most cleverly written comedy on the air today..ABC did all they could to kill this show!!…First it’s on Thursdays, then they switch it to Friday (kiss of death right there), then they move it to “Comedy Wednesday,” but put it up against shows it can’t compete with. ABC is pathetic!!! Does anyone know if another network could possibly pick it up?
I’m not being a drama queen here,b but if Ugly Betty is cancelled, I will seriously die. That’s my show! They can’t do this! It’s an outrage!
Are You Kidding?
Ugly Betty is one of the best’modernised’comedy tv shows around. This is a proper kick in the nuts! I’m sure Ugly Betty has an immense audience from the US, UK and other countries if not how on earth would they afford all those A-list celebs! Huh! Its a big hit in the UK! We’re gripping on our seats to see what happens next! This is a HUGE misunderstanding for ABC. They’re making a huge mistake!
First Pushing Daisies and now Ugly Betty? It’s just sad coz these are such great shows:(
While I enjoy watching Abc new show The Deepend I was saden to see Ugly Betty leave Thursday nite. The new show has grown on me. I will rather see that then flash forward. Besides Wednesday comdey shows sucks
PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL UGLY BETTY. I LOVE THIS SHOW ALONG WITH CASTLE AND DANCING WITH THE STARS. BESIDES LAW AND ORDER, THERE IS NOTHING GOOD ON TV EXCEPT THE MOVIES ON LIFETIME MOVIE NETWORK.
I love Ugly Betty. ABC has made it difficult to catch all the episodes because of how it moved it around the schedule. I can’t believe they are replacing it with “Samatha Who”. What idiot at ABC makes their programming decisions? They had a dynamite Thursday lineup and they screwed it up. They kept moving Ugly Betty around until they finally killed it. I want the show back. Ugly Betty was still fresh and it should have run for a few more seasons. The show could have evolved until Betty’s braces came off and she fully developed her fashion sense. This is a study in how bad network execs can kill a good show.
The people in charge can not take ugly betty off the air thats like looseing er ans will and grace all over again stop pulling things that r awsome and putting crap on
that’s crazy ugly betty is a greatt show. i loved it imean at first i didnt think i would like it but then you start to get into it.
BRING BACK UGLY BETTY!! I WANT TO KNOW HOW THESE SHOWS ARE REALLY RATED? THERE HAVE BEEN TOO MANY GREAT SHOWS TAKEN OFF THE AIR, EVEN TEMPORARILY! YET THESE OTHER RIDICULOUSLY UNENTERTAINING AND POURLY SCRIPTED SHOWS ARE SOMEHOW MANAGING TO STAY ON OUR AIRWAVES! WHAT’S UP WITH THAT?
