ABC Cancels Ugly Betty
It’s made stars out of America Ferrera, Vanessa Williams and braces.
But after a solid run on ABC, Ugly Betty is going off the air. Despite critical acclaim this season, and a recent move to viewer friendly Wednesday nights, the show’s ratings were simply too low.
Wrote producer Silvio Horta and ABC president Steve McPherson in a statement:
“We’ve mutually come to the difficult decision to make this Ugly Betty’s final season, and are announcing now as we want to allow the show ample time to write a satisfying conclusion. We are extremely proud of this groundbreaking series, and felt it was important to give the fans a proper farewell.”
Mark Indelicato, who plays Betty’s nephew Justin Suarezm, referred to the series as “a learning experience and said: “It’s been an amazing four years.”
We agree. What is your favorite memory from the show? Do you want Betty to end up with Daniel? How do you hope the show wraps up?
Hey, so you know all about the iPhone, right? In the brief time we spent with Apple’s new iPad, from a gaming perspective, there’s not much more to add. It’s a big iPod Touch — both are missing the iPhone’s camera — but iPad’s got a flexible data plan option; no contract required. While Apple showed off some iPad-optimized games during today’s keynote, neither Gameloft’s new version of N.O.V.A. nor Electronic Arts’ new version of Need for Speed: Shift were available for demo. Instead, we took some plain ol’ apps for a spin, including Scrabble and Need for Speed: Shift (the current iPhone version; not the upcoming iPad one).
