There has been a little confusion about the upcoming schedule for Ugly Betty, mostly caused by the previously announced preemption for Shrek the Third on November 20th.  Here is the latest ABC official press release about the next Ugly Betty episode (that I can find), which was from November 9.
"Level (7) with Me" — Daniel lets the leaders from the Community of the Phoenix call the shots at Mode, and Bennett’s promises to reunite Daniel with his dead wife prompt Betty to action. She schemes with Claire on breaking through to him with an ingenious plan and finds …read more

In honor of the upcoming September 22 release of Ugly Betty, The Complete Third Season, here is the season two blooper reel from that season’s DVD:

Sometimes I forget, because of all the drama, just how funny America Ferrera is.  I especially like her good nature in the sections where her braces cause her spit uncontrollably.
She seemed to be funniest when paired with Freddy Rodriguez or Chris Gorham.
There’s a great section where each of the actors forgets his/her line.  Becki Newton is funny because, unlike the others, she does not change expression at all.
There’s a quick snippet of Eric …read more

Harper’s Island star Christopher Gorham says his return to Ugly Betty (this Thursday at 8/7c on ABC) was not entirely unexpected. 
“I got a call from creator Silvio Horta.  When I left the show the first time, he made it clear to me that he was hoping that I would be able to come back at some point. So it wasn’t a totally unexpected phone call. He wanted me to come back and do an episode near the end of the season and, of course, I was happy to do it.”
On his exit from the show, he says the …read more

Here is the full recap for Ugly Betty episode 3.22, In The Stars.  My quick thoughts:

Excellent, excellent episode!  When you can pack that much action into one episode, make it coherent, and make it fly by, it’s well done all around.
This was one of Michael Urie’s best.  He spent most of the time panicking over the YETI project, the rest looking puzzled at Jodi’s advances.
Speaking of Jodi, the whole storyline between her and Marc would not have worked, had it not involved Urie and the wonderful Bernadette Peters.  She is larger than life.
I don’t know how Becki Newton feels …read more

Ugly Betty is a show with many actors, many directors, and many writers.  Although there is a flow and consistency between and amongst the episodes, if you watch the show long enough, you get a feel for what you will get when a certain writer wrote the script.
Many of us long ago decided our favorite UB writer, and we excitedly await the next episode he or she will pen.  No doubt, Brian Tanen probably has the most fans amongst Ugly Betty News commenters.  Some are even, for lack of a better word, Brian Tanen goupies.
But, let’s take …read more

Here is the press release for the Ugly Betty Season 3 finale (which is two episodes back-to-back).  3.23 is entitled “Curveball”,and 3.24 is “The Fall Issue”. 
Fair warning: the synopses are quite spoiler-ish about things that will happen in the next two episodes, so turn ye back, all who are spoiler-averse!  You have been warned.
The synopses:
Ugly Betty” concludes the season with a shocking two-hour telecast, THURSDAY, MAY 21 (8:00-10:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. In the first hour, entitled “Curveball” (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET), just as Betty agrees to move in with Matt, Henry (guest star Christopher Gorham) …read more

After yesterday’s wonderful news about Ugly Betty’s early return to the air, ABC has released the title and synopses for episodes 3.20 and 3.21 .  We already knew that 3.20 would be entitled “Rabbit Test”.  Here is the synopsis for 3.20:
The Suarez family gets an invitation to meet Matt’s famed billionaire dad, Calvin Hartley (guest star David Rasche), at his legendary Easter Egg hunt. While Betty sees this as a chance to get closer to Matt, Daniel seizes the opportunity to get Mode a bailout. Meanwhile Wilhelmina suspects that little William might not be her biological son.
We’ll see, but …read more

ABC is bringing back Ugly Betty from hiatus a week earlier than planned.  It will return to the air (I’m assuming with a NEW episode – 3.20, Rabbit Test) on April 30th at 8/7c. 
Woot.
The two replacement comedies, In The Motherhood and Samantha Who?,  were not pulling very good ratings.  Last week, for example, “Motherhood” averaged just a 1.4 rating and 5 share in the adults 18-49 demo, while “Samantha” posted a 1.5/5.  Things were so bad, the shows threatened to hurt Grey’s Anatomy.  Now THAT’s bad.
The chances of Motherhood coming back next season are very slim.  Samantha Who? …read more

EW’s Ausiello has a couple of Ugly Betty spoilers today.  First, in his Ask Ausiello column, comes this little tidbit:
Now, the bad news: Daniel is going to have to sell his soul to bail out Meade. And by sell I mean dress up in a bunny costume at the behest of some rich tycoon named Hartley. Oh, how the boring mighty have fallen.
Does that last sentence mean we can count Ausiello amongst those who are tired of the Daniel / Molly pairing?  Although, I don’t think Daniel himself has been boring; it’s been interesting watching him grow.  But, the …read more

Well, this is fantastic news, indeed!  According to SitcomsOnline.com, Ugly Betty will return from hiatus (after this week’s episode 3.19 – The Sex Issue), on May 7!  I guess this means that all of Michael Ausiello’s speculation about the show running in June was…just that.
According to the site, ABC also announced that the show will have a two hour finale on May 21.  We’ve been waiting for an Ugly Betty two hour premiere or finale since season 1, and it looks like they’re finally going to give it to us!
In the story, writer Pavan wonders whether ABC will air …read more
