And last but not least
Ugly Betty just got canceled. Officially hate ABC. And there is a petition if you would like to sign. I will miss Mark/Amanda and Grandma Suarez terribly.
And I think Lainey said it best:
So Ugly Betty has been canceled. It would be easy to blame ABC for their scheduling f-ckery, not unlike Friday Night Lights and NBC, moving the show from one day to the next and killing it on a Friday and then confusing the viewers and of course they suck and should hear it and we hate them but there’s also the question of viewers…and if we’re using Friday as an argument, consider the dumbassness of Ghost Whisperer which does just fine on Friday. So to me, what’s maddening is not so much a matter of the networks being assholes, which is always the case anyway, but the matter of what people watch. Sh-t,
that’s what.
