    I love Ugly Betty! I can understand how it lost viewers though. I think the producers waited too long on Betty’s physical transformation. I think the writers gave it a satisfying end.

    I am so disappointed to learn that Ugly Betty has been canceled. A series worth watching – good acting and plot. Such a poor decision. I will not watch ABC any longer.

    We want an Ugly Betty movie! or a spin off! :) I hope the producers are noticing the fans’ sentiments on the official site, facebook and twitter. Why can’t inspiring shows such as this not be funded? This show changed the world. If they would just read the fan forums and the facebook pages, they will see how the show inspired a lot of people, around the world. It’s saddening that it seems the producers and the network do not care about the fans in other countries. They just based the cancellation from the American t.v. ratings.(which according to some American fans, the changing of the time slot was the reason why ratings went down). Well I get the point that off course the show was created for American t.v. so if their target market is not interested anymore (basing through the ratings) then cancel it. but…but I hope that the entertainment industry, not just in Hollywood but also the ones around the world will start to think more about the value, about the impact and the relevance of a show or film to humanity. It’s not just about the ratings or the money. But off course, I know that things are not that simple. Off everyone needs money to survive. I also hear what the makers’ sentiments are. I don’t know how to conclude this. Maybe, a compromise should be made. Make the film or the spin off. Consider the monetary side. Would it earn? If it will earn enough(which I believe will) then make it. As long as expenses will be covered and everyone will be compensated enough, then make it. Maybe making more money should not be the focus. Maybe the value, the impact to humanity is more important. Ugly Betty can set that good example as it is a show about growth and inspiration.

    ABC is the one that sucks! They cancel all the good shows. Ugly Betty was one of them. Another would be Pushing Daisies. Don’t watch ABC. They have no creative edge! Go w/Showtime. That’s where the real entertainment is.

    Hi there this is kind of of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
