ABC Canceling ‘Ugly Betty’ But Working on “Satisfying Conclusion”





Great shows often run out of creative steam and then you see signs like this season’s premiere of Ugly Betty, being pushed back in October after the ratings dropped, not to mention ABC reduced its episode order from 22 to 20. Based on a popular Spanish telenovela series, ‘Betty’ was a breath of fresh air its first year but faltered in its third season despite the too little, too late move of rescheduling ‘Betty’ to Wednesdays at 10 p.m., where it caps a three-hour block of comedy. Now it has been decided the fourth season will be the last. The shows Executive Producer Silvio Horta and ABC President Steve McPherson announced today the decision was mutual and “want to allow the show ample time to write a satisfying conclusion.” Now the question is, what do you fans think would be be a “satisfying conclusion” to the show?
