Breaking: ABC benches ‘Ugly Betty’ – EW.com
Are you kidding me? Which amazing show will be cancelled next? First it was Reba, then Jericho, then Instant Star, then Miss-Guided, then Eli Stone, then Pushing Daisies, and now Ugly Betty? Granted, the haven’t gone so far as to cancel it, but this seems to be a red flag of sorts. What shows are left to watch?! Lost and Grey’s Anatomy. And honestly, GA has gotten a little mundane for me and VERY predictable. I have to be honest in saying that I wouldn’t be upset if last week’s episode was the finale. It was a good episode to close on. Just give me an Owen & Cristina spinoff (and not Private Practice, that show is horrible) and I’ll be happy.
But, I digress. This is really getting out of hand. I went from following six primetime series on ABC/CBS/NBC/Fox to watching two because all of the good shows were cancelled! I spend more time watching CNN and Bravo than any of the old networks. I must say that I am happy to see Samantha Who? returning, but not at the expense of Betty.
What I’m surprised at the most is that networks haven’t figured out that people would rather watch these shows than The Bachelor, Survivor 66254, Amazing Race 984625, etc. The only good reality shows these days are coming off of Bravo (Top Chef, Flipping Out, Kathy Griffin, Real Housewives, etc.).
THIS SUCKS!!!
(Oh and PS – if anybody else is getting fed up, maybe you should shift your entertainment sources from television and movies to live theater, eh? Help me pay my bills? Haha…)
