“Ugly Betty” Cancelled? “Ugly Betty” Pulled From ABC Thursday Night Lineup
Betty’s been benched!
ABC has just announced that it will place award-winning dramedy Ugly Betty on hiatus-indefinitely-beginning March 26.
New episodes of Samantha Who? and Megan Mullally and Cheryl Hines’ freshmen comedy In the Motherhood will replace Betty, an offbeat comedy about an aspiring writer and her daily struggles to survive Manhattan’s cutthroat fashion world, in the network’s Thursday night lineup.
“Ugly Betty will return to Thursday nights at 8 p.m. following the run of In the Motherhood and Samantha Who?,” the network said in a statement released to Entertainment Weekly on Monday.
“The Thursday night block is a good opportunity to launch these comedies,” an ABC spokesman says. “Betty is a solid performer and there is no question that it will definitely be back to complete its season, just without repeats.”
ABC has not announced when Ugly Betty will return to the air.

I am really pissed Ugly Betty is being "interrupted" by such stupid shows as Samantha Who?? Ugly Betty is the only comedy on t.v. that actually makes me laugh. Christina Applegate has been around for a looooong time. Let the young, fresh actresses shine!! I am so mad at ABC, I just may have to boycott the station !

If Ugly Betty is cancelled I will never watch another ABC show. Ugly Betty is hilarious. The writers are genius. There has not been a show that is funny and witty since Friends! Samantha Who? is just that. Who, What……. I don't watch it and won't.

I am so upset that Ugly Betty is being cancelled, postponed or moved. Networks do this all the time with decently written shows and lose their viewers, I've watched the Samantha show and it just isn't as good… stop trying to manipulate the viewers.. find another time for it.. why take Betty off.. put the new one with C. Hines on another time… Don't mess with Betty. it's a winner. I hope that others will boycott the network if this decision stays. It's just nutty the way the programming moves good programs around.

WHAT!!!! Your benching "Ugly Betty" for "In the Motherhood." I love Megan, don't get me wrong! She was great as Karen on Will & Grace. The writing just "STINKS", so the show needs to go out in Thursdays trash! "Samatha Who?" with Christina is Good. Why not due back to back episodes of "Samatha Who?" for now. So we can get back to our "Ugly Betty" ASAP!!!!!!!!!! P L E A S E, ABC.

Thursday was the one night I would make sure nothing stopped me from being in front of the TV at 8 to watch Ugly Betty. I love that show and don't understand why it's been placed on indefinite hiatus. If you had to replace Ugly Betty, couldn't you have done it with a show that was as witty, well -written and wonderfully acted? Why the hell would you think we want to see something called The Motherhood? I love Megan as Karen, but have refused to to watch ABC at all since Ugly Betty's demise.

Ugly Betty was the ONLY network show worth watching – for its witty writing, superb acting, and the ridiculous truth that bubbled up from the depths of our troubled society. It's an American classic for our times. It might have even made you THINK, God forbid. So I have turned the TV off – period. Did you hear that, advertisers? When millions of TVs get turned off, billions of dollars-worth of commercial messages just drift away in cyberspace. I'm not watching. I'm listening now to Gershwin and reading good books. Shot yourselves in the foot, didn't you, ABC?

Why do networks insist on switching successful programs to other days of the week after developing a following? I have just checked and Ugly Betty's season premiere is set for tomorrow evening, a Friday, when people are about and out as will happen to me.
The networks are their worst enemies. They get something good going and then they spoil it. Many good shows have seen their demise just because of bad choices in programming. Only for the public to get stuck with stupid and vulgar so called "reality" shows. No wonder they are loosing their audience constantly, and they deserve it!

Ugly Betty is one of the best written and acted shows on television right now. The script has all the elements necessary in making a great television show. Its hilarious, dramatic, exciting, suspensful, heart warming, and just all around amazing. The fact that it got put in to the abc friday death slot is just sad, and pretty much ensuring its cancellation. Betty needs to be back thursday nights, and it shouldnt be pushed into an early cancellation. The friday night spot is to ugly betty as the writters strike was to pushing daisies. This is just sad. I love betty.

It is typical of the network 'suits' to cancel & interfere with shows that have solid, witty, writing.
Ugly Betty makes me burst out with belly laughs that hit like a sledghammer. Another good example of a show that had briliant writing was Northern Exposure, but the 'suits' came in and interfered with the writing and that spelled the death knell for that show. Leave it to the 'suits' to screw up things.

I honestly know that after Ugly Betty and Lost I will never invest another minute in ABC shows. I can name far too many shows that I started watching in the first season only to see them canceled after ABC messed around with its time slot. Dirty, Sexy, Money was just brilliant, but gone. The Nine, had an interesting story line, but never got a chance to blossom. Speaking of blossom how about Pushing Daisies? I loved the witty comedy and all the characters were perfect. Big shots was one of our true favorites, and so was Six Degrees. Commander and Chief the list goes on and on… One thing that won't go on however is my loyalty to any channel. Too many of my friends no longer tune in to watch shows like V or fast forward because of these crazy decisions often made by ABC. I myself refuse to watch a show in the first season. These stupid breaks after 10 episodes makes me skeptical the shows will get cancelled anyway. I often lose interest and find myself trying to remember where they left off.
Now ABC has the nerve to try and sell the first 10 episodes of Flash Forward on DVD!!!! HA Are you guys serious?! That show could get cancelled in a heartbeat! Mark my words when I say this, I say it to you all, this is to everyone who has lost a show they loved. ABC and other networks will lose viewership due to DVR, and online venues such as netflix and Hulu.
I would rather wait and watch the shows on my time, than get the yo-yo from you yahoos!
just my two cents multiply it by a million!

I know for a fact that I will NOT be watching any of these replacement shows and probably not even the network anymore. I will spread word to the other people I know to boycott watching any of these replacement shows as well. If the show is going to end there shold be the decency to at least complete the ENTIRE season and give it a fitting farewell. That is the least you can do!

I was very disappointed to hear that Ugly Betty is being canceled. I cannot imagine why. It is a great show with such clever writing. Not to mention a great cast. Their following has to be good…Ive heard nothing but love for the show from friends who watch? Wish they would reconsider.

Ugly Betty is one of the few shows I look forward to. Please don’t cancel. I think it was ABc who canceled a great show with Dennis Leary called The Job. It was edgy and funny just like Ugly Betty is. I hope it comes back soon. The shows they are airing in it’s place suck!!!!!!!!

Love this show…maybe if they stop moving it around it would do better in the ratings…then again tv also canceled Pushing up daisies…But we still have the now bad scrubs… I hope Ugly Betty now goes the way of sex in the city and we see a few Motion Pictures….I wouldn’t even object to a line or two in the movie….hint hint…..

This is not fair!!! America Ferrera is the best thing that has happened to ABC!!!!!!!!! This has become my favorite tv show and one of the very few that I watch on Apple TV whenever I get the chance! I have a 15 month old, so I can't watch it whenever it's aired! Not fair!!!!!

I am rethinking the IQ of ABC. If you are wondering why you are limping it's because you keep shooting yourself in the foot. First you take Boston Legal off, then Dirty Sexy Money, Samantha Who and now Ugly Betty. Do the executives sit around and say, "Hummmm, well written, interesting characters, exciting plots, keeps you wanting more, laughing a lot…we better pull them off the air." There is nothing worth watching on TV any more and when you finally get a good show and a captative audience, you cancel it. Is there no one at ABC with any sense? Good Grief!!!!!

Well, this is messed up. I think this is the ONLY TV network show I bother to watch….and now it's gone. I hope they put it back soon…..and not CANCEL it altogether. I think it is a very dumb move on ABC's part. Switching Betty off will not make anyone want to watch other shows. (Not that I don't love Megan Mullaly….but I don't care for the show)….but Betty has a wonderful cast of some very notable personalities. I always get a good laugh from the show….and love watching Vanessa, Judith and the gang. I will miss them.

ABC, one of these days you will realize that you are messing up in a MAJOR way. You are currently opting to serve up cheap reality programming in place of the 'jewels' that you have had in your repertoire. Remember, a 'cheap' product will always fall apart far sooner than a 'quality' product. At some point there will be a rebellion among your viewers who will decide that they deserve better than what you are offering and they will be gone. We, the viewing public can see the writing on ABC's wall …..too bad ABC can't!!

ABC KILLED UGLY BETTY ON PURPOSE. IT WAS GETTING TOO EDGY AND SMART… LIKE BOSTON LEGAL!. SO THEY CONFUSED VIEWERS BY MOVING THE SHOW TO FRIDAYS AND THEN TO WEDNESDAYS, SO THE VIEWERS COULDN'T FIND HER, THEN BLAMED IT ON LOW RATINGS.
ABC… YOU ARE A THIRD WORLD NETWORK!

Shame on ABC for cancelling UGLY BETTY. It is one of the BEST shows on TV right now, and I think ABC executives should have their heads examined!!!!!! When networks mess around with a fan favorite, the network loses viewers and loyalty.

I love Ugly Betty! I will miss it. Just when they are hinting around about Betty with Daniel getting together, they will leave us hanging. A movie sequel would be great or even better maybe another station will pick it up like Medium was.

ABC has serious issues, they are always cancelling great shows prematurely. Ugly Betty was a hit since it was originally on Thursday's, then they screwed up and put it in the primetime graveyard on Friday, and the show still held it's fan base, then they move it to Wednesday nights, which I kind of liked b/c I didn't have to work, and they cancel it. I don't think I can go on supporting ABC and these IDIOTIC decisions.

WHAT THE WORLD!!!???What's up with this. Cancelling Ugly Betty.????? Networks always screw up and cancel the good shows with something stupid. What kind of idiots are making these types of decisions, anyhow. I'm 61, TV is definitely not as entertaining as it used to be. And when anything really entertaining emerges it ends up getting cancelled and replaced with a bunch of stupid stuff. DUHHHHHHH!!!!

Why did ABC have to cancel yet another one of my favorite shows? Ugly Betty was probably one of the best series left on television today. I am sick of seeing nothing but reality shows on every channel. Ugly Betty was something I looked forward to every week. The cast was simply incredible and hilarious. I will miss the show dearly and can only hope that the network will realize what a mistake it has made in axing this gem of a show.

Okay, so Betty lost the braces and is no longer "UGLY". Maybe we are ready for a change. BUT . . .
With the way the world is going, our only sanity is to come home, plop on the couch after supper and veg out! What is wrong with the executives? Unless they are coming back with "Betty's Other Mode" and toggle back and forth between both locations we have just lost another decent show.

I did'nt even know Betty was canceled till i read it online. I am SO PISSED! as well. Please bring better back! This is the Best show they have had other than desperate houswives. Which is for some reason not as funny as the first season. I want betty back. Lose the old show's. I can stand Samantha Who? It's probably why it's called Samantha Who? Someone should beg the star's to sue abc. All their career's,and young actor's careers were on the line. I love ugly betty even if it's just on for 2 more year's. I just dont feel it was over yet. ABC PLEASE BRING BETTY Back!!!!!!!

Everyone must start a petition or something. I love ugly betty even without braces.

Ugly Betty was an excellent commentary (satire) on the 'beautiful peoples' ugly kives." I looked forward to watching the antics and intrigues in New York city. PLEASE bring it back, looked forward to it all week, it was a cross-generational evening. 13 to 59 we all loved it!
Time for ABC to listen to its audiences or it may go the way of the dinosaur also…before its own time.

Ugly Betty is the Best
Far superior to the rest

Very clever re-arranging
Stop right now and stay a while
Many of us will make a smile
Betty and Daniel….a happy pair
Two great people……it's only fair !

This is the only show on TV I will miss. The creators, geniuses, the cast, perfection, and I will sorely miss the warmth of the Suarez family. Reality and talent shows are for the simple minded, too lazy to look for work or totally unemployable masses, which seems to be the majority in the U.S., including TV network executives. Sad comment but true nonetheless.
I welcome Betty on any other channel that welcomes her.

The viewers of Ugly Betty are not a minority, as is seen here.
It has a very loyal fan base that continues to support it despite the idiocy of its network.
ABC, put Ugly Betty back on!!! Nowww!!!

This was fun sassy witty & lose your self in it pleasure.
