Here is the promo for Ugly Betty, The Complete Third Season on DVD:

Man, watching all those little snippets, I had forgotten how much the show changed over the course of season 3.   Those Lindsay Lohan scenes seem like they were from several seasons ago.  Some of them were pretty good, but I don’t think her appearance was worth it.  It certainly didn’t help the ratings. 
I am really looking forward to this DVD – I have a feeling several of the episodes will get better as they are viewed again (and in the context of what happened later …read more

Check out the news from The Futon Critic: Ugly Betty will begin season 4 with a 2-hour premiere!
Interestingly, Betty’s season premiere will air on October 9th at 9/8c, a week or two after most of the network’s other premieres.  The first regular showing after the two hour episode will be Friday, October 16.
I wonder if the two hour episode will be two episodes back-to-back.  I’m guessing this is the case – this, along with the back-to-back 2-hour finale episode, makes up a little for the episodes lost during the WGA strike.  This puts the show that much closer to …read more

Mr Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly (he deserves to be called Mr Ausiello with this news) made my day in this post on the Ausiello Files.  He says:
Despite the, ahem, perception problem that resulted from that whole open-ended hiatus thing, ABC is on the verge of renewing Ugly Betty for a fourth season, sources confirm to me exclusively.
For those of you who are fans of other ABC shows, he says, “The network is also said to be this close to giving early pickups to Grey’s Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Brothers & Sisters, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, America’s Funniest Home Videos, and …read more

The news about Ugly Betty’s future has been all over the place. The original press release from ABC about the show’s benching was way too open-ended, and caused all kinds of speculation. Many web (and even news) sites erroneously reported that Ugly Betty was being “cancelled”, or the almost-as-ominous-sounding “shelved”.
[...Pats self on back for resisting and sticking with the word "benching"]
Thank goodness for blogging. Yesterday, Michael Urie, one of the show’s stars, helped calm many of us with this posting at his blog. He says,
come on, really? Here are the facts:
We are going …read more

Here’s news you need to know. ABC is preempting Ugly Betty tomorrow (1/15) to air President Bush’s final address to the nation. Hat tip – Angel25. (Who ALWAYS seems to get the press releases before I do!). The address is only supposed to be 15 minutes, so ABC is instead running a couple of episodes of “Scrubs”.
The schedule for upcoming episodes will “slide”. Episode 3.12 (Sisters on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown) will now air on January 22. Episode 3.14 (Kissed Off) will move to February 5.
I am assuming that the rebroadcast …read more

ABC has released two more episode titles for Ugly Betty (hat tip, SpoilerTV). They are episodes 3.14, airing February 5th, 2009, and 3.15, airing February 12.
3.14 is entitled, “The Courtship of Betty’s Father”. Most of you probably don’t get the humor in the title, I would imagine. In 1963 there was a movie, and in 1969-1972 a television series entitled “The Courtship of Eddie’s Father”. The TV show (which I actually remember) starred the late Bill Bixby.
Anyway, my best guess is that Ignacio is going to live and be relatively healthy, and I foresee …read more

Here’s wishing you all a happy and healthy 2009!  May your troubles be few, your joys many.
2008 was an historic year, no matter where you live or who you are.  Chances are, it had more down moments than up.  Let us say good riddance to it.
In the Ugly Betty world in 2008, the show had to weather the WGA strike, made some steps forward, and some backward.  Which ones were which depends on your point of view about Betty’s love life. The “choose Henry or Gio” storyline rose to a fever pitch at the end of season 2.
Betty  …read more

I hope this year has been wonderful for you (unfortunately, I feel it’s been quite a challenge for most, including myself), and I pray that next year will bring too many blessings to count.
I also want to send my warmest regards to the cast, crew, writers and producers of Ugly Betty.  I know some of you read here from time to time, so I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you …read more

Here are some questions (and a few answers) I have about Ugly Betty this week, along with some info about what’s going on around here for the next few days.
One question that’s been bugging me: ABC, why no sneak peek this week?  Are you keeping radio silence so you can hit us with a big surprise?  Not that you owe us one or anything, we just kind of get in the routine of seeing them every Friday or Saturday, and we miss them when they aren’t there.
Of course, the big question before Thursday’s episode (3.04, Betty Suarez Land) is: …read more
