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.
