Roush on Miss Guided
Question: I was wondering what your thoughts were on
Miss Guided. I've watched all the episodes so far and have found it smart, funny and very enjoyable. I feel like I haven't heard a lot about it in the media, though. Did it pull in good ratings? I'm assuming once
Ugly Betty returns, ABC is not planning to keep it on Thursday nights — which is fine by me since that night is already crowded enough with good TV. Does the show have a chance?

Matt Roush: Blink and you’ll miss this one, especially with ABC’s curious strategy of airing it back-to-back on Thursdays for just a few weeks. If my calendar's correct
, Miss Guided's season finale is this Thursday .
I reviewed it recently with more props to the star, Judy Greer, than to the show, which I found very cute but not particularly special. Still, I’d love to see how it would fare if paired with the still-promising
Samantha Who? These are not shows that will turn a network’s fortunes around, but they do bring a smile to the face. And on ABC, you’d think that might mean something.
