What's weird is I shot with America Ferrera a couple of days ago and she was going on about how the change from Friday to Wednesday would really end up helping them. So if this cancellation was "mutual," as the statement says, nobody bothered to give the head's up to America.

Re: Ugly Betty: GONE
 

The ratings were horrific when it went back to Wednesdays. She was pulling your chain.

Re: Ugly Betty: GONE
 

This series has lasted more or less the same as its Latin American counterparts.

Re: Ugly Betty: GONE
 

It has pretty much run its course and the writing was on the wall with the timeslot moves.

Re: Ugly Betty: GONE
 

Happy to see the series will at least get a proper ending.

Re: Ugly Betty: GONE
 

This season has been pretty dull. I was still rooting for the show even with the Friday move. Had some promise with the next move to Wednesday and their lineup in the 'Comedy Wednesday' but not surprised by the cancellation. Will miss all the characters and the show a lot.

Re: Ugly Betty: GONE
 

This is one of my wife's favorite shows. She'll be disappointed. I tried watching with her for a while, but it just got annoying to me.

Re: Ugly Betty: GONE
 

I still watch the show but it is showing it's age. Glad they are giving it a finale.

Re: Ugly Betty: GONE
 

Same here. I watch it with my wife only because it looks so terrific in HD. It was tolerable dumb fun for the first two seasons, but then it sort of fell off.

However, give me a 30-minute Mark and Amanda show and I'm there...

Re: Ugly Betty: GONE
 

That could be really good.

Re: Ugly Betty: GONE
 

The writing on the show has been so bad this season.

Re: Ugly Betty: GONE
 

+1

It was doomed when they moved it to Friday. After the last boyfriend ditched Betty, I was ready for it to end. I wonder if Daniel and Betty will end up together.

Re: Ugly Betty: GONE
 

I thought the show was OK, but not great. And it is showing its age. This year, with every new plot element, I think, haven't they done that before? So give us a satisfying ending to the series and move on. But please, please don't replace it with a reality show.

Re: Ugly Betty: GONE
 

I purchased season one based on all the buzz and I'm enjoying it. I'll read general reviews on the next couple of seasons to decide whether it's worth renting to close out the series.

Re: Ugly Betty: GONE
 

I know how it is for all of you who like the show. I'm sorry about this, but I have to communicate it:

I will be dancing on this show's grave. I see it as all that is wrong with scripted TV today and attribute its success to a pact with satan.

To be honest, I'm not sure why I hold such a grudge against this show. It's probably ABC. They have killed more of my favorites over the years than Fox, but this survived.

I don't want to threadcrap, and I haven't been one to go into an Ugly Betty episode thread to say how I feel. This is a different beast in my eyes. It's a thread for most of the people to mourn, but it's also here for this sort of reaction.

Re: Ugly Betty: GONE
 

I think this show started sucking when they started having all these guys fighting over Betty. That was not realistic at all and I felt it strayed from the premise of the show that she is supposed to be awkward and hasn't blossomed into her looks yet.

Re: Ugly Betty: GONE
 

I thought it was when America lost weight between season 1 and 2 (I think, or was it season 2 and 3?). She needed to stay "Ugly" Betty for the underdog panache and angst to work.

Re: Ugly Betty: GONE
 

:( but inevitable.

Re: Ugly Betty: GONE
 

Yeah - it pretty much dropped off near or at the end of S2.

Re: Ugly Betty: GONE
 

Start praying Amanda and Mark get their own spin-off show. Or at least Amanda.

Re: Ugly Betty: GONE
 

I'd definately watch an Amanda show.

Re: Ugly Betty: GONE
 

For her full potential, it'd need to be on HBO. :D

Re: Ugly Betty: GONE
 

Although I didn't particularly care about this show, I really appreciate the fact that the network is giving them warning enough to create a finale. I wish it would happen more often but far too few shows get the same courtesy.

Re: Ugly Betty: GONE
 

I wonder if fans will petition for the shows return??
