‘Ugly Betty’ on hold
ABC has released a press release saying that it is yanking ‘Ugly Betty’ from Thursday’s schedule to make way for a new comedy block. Starting March 26, the new comedy “In the Motherhood” will kick off the network’s Thursday prime-time lineup, the Los Angeles Times says, followed by “Samantha Who?” with Christina Applegate. “Ugly Betty,” which stars America Ferrera as a plain Jane, has been sagging in the ratings lately. And ABC wants a hit in the lineup because it leads in to “Grey’s Anatomy.” In the press release, ABC said “Ugly Betty” would return to its previous schedule once the comedies had finished their runs, but it did not specify a date. In addition, the network announced that starting March 18, “Scrubs” will move to 8 p.m. Wednesdays, followed by the new comedy “Better Off Ted.”
