Will Betty Lose The Braces?
Thursday, April 30th, 2009
“Ugly Betty” has been on the air for three seasons now, and for that entire time, Betty Suarez, played by America Ferrera, has sported a mouthful of shiny metal. Aren’t her teeth straight yet?
Series creator Silvio Horta spilled the beans to EW on what viewers can expect from upcoming eps of “Betty”—including the future of her smile. “Her braces will be off by the end of next season. Next year, there’s going to be a progression in her look overall. It’ll still be Betty, but you’ll see some growth in that direction.”
This certainly sounds like a step in the right direction. Given how long Betty’s been working for Mode, she must have developed some fashion sense by now.

Henry’s Back For “Ugly Betty” Finale
Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009
The life of Betty Suarez is already complicated enough, with Meade Publishing broke, her dad falling in love with his nurse and her new BF Matt in therapy for sex addiction, but now things are going to get really interesting.
EW reveals that Betty’s old flame Henry Grubstick, played by Christopher Gorham, will be back in NYC for the two-hour season finale of “Ugly Betty” airing May 21. Betty (played by America Ferrera, pictured) runs into Henry and his new GF Chloe, and show eator Silvio Horta tells, “As Henry and Betty reconnect, it could potentially threaten her relationship with Matt.”
Will Gorham return in the fall? What about his role on the CBS thriller “Harper’s Island?” Since the whole cast is being killed off one by one, the actor could definitely have some time on his hands by then.

Bringing “Ugly” Back!
Thursday, February 12th, 2009
Wake up, Betty! You’re coming back next season! Fans of the ABC TV series “Ugly Betty” starring America Ferrera were understandably upset over the net’s decision to bench the show for a Thursday night sitcom block.
But now good news comes from EW that ABC is very close to renewing “Ugly Betty” for another season. Also likely to get early pickups are ”Grey’s Anatomy,” “Desperate Housewives,” “Brothers & Sisters,” “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” and “The Bachelor.”
As a major “Betty” junkie, I’m hoping the hiatus doesn’t cause the show to lose momentum. I mean, hasn’t Christina been pregnant with Wilhelmina’s surrogate spawn for something like 18 months now?

Has “Ugly Betty” Struck Out?
Monday, January 26th, 2009
Maybe not yet, but prospects aren’t looking pretty for the show starring award-winner America Ferrera. ABC has announced a new schedule for Thursday night and “Betty” will be taking a hiatus until after May sweeps. Taking the 8 p.m. slot starting in march will be new series ”In the Motherhood” and the returning “Samantha Who?”
An ABC spokesperson told E! News, “The Thursday night block is a good opportunity to launch these comedies, That said, Betty is a solid performer and there is no question that it will definitely be back to complete its season, just without repeats.”
What are they, nuts? Stupid is more like it. It’s idiotic decisions like this that have caused network TV ratings to fall into the sewer and wallow there for the last several years. The networks have very few shows worth watching, and the ones they have are all on at the same time.
“Betty” has been one of my favorite shows since it debuted and I’ve watched every episode at least once. Unfortunately, it’s opposite another one of my favorite shows, “My Name is Earl.” So I’ve been watching “Betty” and catching “Earl” later on Hulu. Now Fox has moved another favorite of mine, “Bones,” into that same slot. So now I’m watching one hour of network TV and 90 minutes on the ‘net when I’d be watching 2 1/2 hours of tube time if my favorite shows were on in different slots.
Network execs—get a clue. If we aren’t watching your shows, msybe it’s because you’re incompetent and should be replaced.
