Betty's Back Bitches

Tonight, a special lady returns to our television screens. Ugly Betty has finally come back to us!

Sadly during it's absence, it was cancelled, on my birthday, which makes the pain 10 times worse. Betty was/is a genius show which took a normal girl from Queens, New York and threw her into the dog eat dog world of MODE magazine. After 4 seasons Betty met her end as the ratings declined badly. ABC refused to renew the show and even ended it 2 episodes early. 

Channel 4 have treated Betty terribly. Heavily promoting the first season, it was a hit here in the UK. But during the second season the writer's strike of 2008 hit and Channel 4 stopped showing it after 9 episodes and waited nearly a year to show the remainder of the season, which helped it loose viewers. When season 3 eventually came along they shifted it from a prime Friday night slot, to Monday night at 10pm, loosing more viewers. Now the final season is upon us (cries a little) they've moved our Betty and gang to sister channel E4, which is good enough I suppose. At least it's getting shown!


Betty is on Wednesday's, 9pm on E4! Watch it.
