Ugly Betty: TV Guide News

There has been a lot of ... | Matt Roush | 6/11/2007
Question: There has been a lot of discussion regarding the depressing season finale of Grey's Anatomy, including many on the contrast to the Brothers & Sisters season finale. My thoughts took a different tack after watching the Grey's finale. I couldn't help but compare it to Ugly Betty's season finale. Like Grey's, we were pretty much left with the world crumbling down around the characters. Unlike Grey's, it left me anticipating next season instead of wondering if I even wanted to watch... read more
I understand the networks' ... | Matt Roush | 6/8/2007
Question: I understand the networks' reluctance to air repeats during the regular season if it can be avoided. But why are they so intent on not showing them during the summer? Just one example: I saw commercials tonight promoting some celebrity race competition that will be on ABC for the next three Thursdays in Ugly Betty's slot. I think summer repeats would help a buzzed-about show coming off a first-year run pick up more new viewers who might not have tried to catch on in the regular... read more
New NBC Boss Champions "Inspirational, Fun" Shows | Today's News: Our Take | 6/5/2007
Accepting Peabody Awards Monday night on behalf of Ugly Betty and The Office (both products of his Reveille production house), newly appointed NBC Entertainment cochairman Ben Silverman said that "inspirational, fun" and demographically diverse fare such as Betty is what he has in mind for the Peacock: "I'm looking forward to imbuing that into programming. I want to amplify that and pump it up."Silverman, says the Reporter, also spoke to the status of The Apprentice, which he believes could... read more
New NBC Heads Won't Change Fall Lineup | Today's News: Our Take | 5/29/2007
NBC Universal president and CEO Jeff Zucker said he doesn’t envision any changes to the NBC's 2007-08 fall schedule even though he's changed top entertainment executives at the network. NBC made it official late Tuesday that Ben Silverman, who brought The Office and Ugly Betty to American television, will become co-chairman of the network’s entertainment division and production studio. Marc Graboff, president of NBC Universal Television, West Coast, has also been elevated to... read more
The NBC Shuffle | Matt Roush | 5/29/2007
No such thing as a lull in the TV business, both on and off screen, not even in the once-sleepy period between the end of the traditional season and the start of June. Forget about all the off-season shows premiering this week (you probably will eventually, anyway), a rather staggering glut, but fans won’t want to forget that House and Boston Legal have their season finales tonight (delayed a week to make room for reality TV). Beyond what’s on TV, it’s been a crazy couple of days... read more
What shows do you think were ... | Matt Roush | 5/25/2007
Question: What shows do you think were the best overall this season? I mean all around: writing, acting, special effects, etc. My picks are Lost, Supernatural, House (the episode two weeks ago, with a drugged-up Wilson, was one of the funniest scenes I've seen in a while and entirely makes up for the Tritter mess), Friday Night Lights, How I Met Your Mother and Heroes (though, granted, it had a teetering start). Answer: All acceptable choices. But looking at the season as a totality, the... read more
Ratings: Fab Finales ('Cept for One Super Low) | Today's News: Our Take | 5/18/2007
This Thursday's ratings recap:8 pm/ETThe actual regaled audience for CBS' Bob Barker tribute was... 14.33 million total viewers! — plenty enough to outbid the season finales of Ugly Betty (bouncing back from last week's series low with 10.39 mil) and The Office (7.89 mil for the hour). Smallville's season-ender drew a hair over four mil, a rise of 650K.9 pmIn the season's final face-off between Thursday's powerhouses, both Grey's (21.53 mil) and CSI (20.2 mil) rebounded from last week's... read more
Jon Hein's ABC Upfront Thoughts | Today's News: Our Take | 5/16/2007
Ugly Betty will continue to carve its niche and grow its young audience. Grey's Anatomy must rebound from a shaky season and high expectations. Big Shots features four CEOs who take no prisoners. I hope it ends up being more like Profit than a male Desperate Housewives. To read more of the Jump the Shark creator's opinions on the ABC lineup, click here. read more
Live ABC Upfront Coverage | Today's News: Our Take | 5/15/2007
3:54: Oooh, they're handing out free boxes of popcorn at the entrance. Thank you, ABC! Now I know I'm going to love your pilots!3:59: How excited am I about the popcorn? I'm not even bitter that they stuck me in the nosebleed section.4:01: The downside of popcorn? Popcorn breath. Everyone around me has it. Good thing I stopped for Tic Tacs.4:03: Showtime!!!4:05: Boring exec talks about cross-platforming. A dark cloud of popcorn breath is forming over the stage here at Lincoln Center. I think... read more
ABC.com Goes HD with DH and UB, Other Hits | Today's News: Our Take | 5/15/2007

Then, when the new season launches in September, additional programming will be added to the HD online lineup.

Ugly Betty's Sis Foresees Tragedy for the Suarez Family | Today's News: Our Take | 5/10/2007
In less capable hands, Ugly Betty's sister Hilda could have been a bad caricature: the pretty, talkative girl from Queens with too much makeup and a son conceived on her prom night. But thanks to the show's writers and actress Ana Ortiz, she's also a warmhearted woman the audience can root for as she tries to make something of her life. Ortiz's own life is changing pretty drastically this summer, too: She's marrying musician Noah Lebenzon in Puerto Rico on June 9. (See the TV Guide News Report... read more
Ugly Betty: Burning Questions Answered! | Today's News: Our Take | 5/9/2007
Are Betty and Henry ever going to get together? Have faith! "It all comes to a head by the finale [May 17]," says Christopher Gorham, who plays Henry. "By the end, there will be some resolution between Henry and [girlfriend] Charlie and a new complication with the love triangle. Henry really steps up for Betty — and pays the price. The thing is," he adds, "Henry and Betty needed to break up. By taking herself out of the picture, Betty made him realize how great she is. They are going to... read more

Brothers & Sisters, Heroes, Studio 60, Ugly Betty, 30 Rock, Friday Night Lights | Matt Roush | 5/9/2007
A funny thing about buzz: You never know where it's going to lead you. Sometimes into a dead end, other times into the Next Big Thing. (Hi, Heroes.) Looking back over the wild zigs and zags taken by the winners and losers from this year's freshman TV class, it's hard not to notice how many sleepers became keepers and how few of the sure things lived up to their hype. With the networks unveiling their new fall lineups this week, I found myself reflecting on the shows we'd labeled "buzzworthy"... read more
Ana Ortiz Dishes on Her Wedding | Today's News: Our Take | 5/4/2007
Ugly Betty star Ana Ortiz arrived at Escada's gala store opening in Beverly Hills last night, honoring the desiger by wearing a very low-cut, shimmering silver dress from the label. Flipping her extra-long ponytail, she spoke enthusiastically to TV Guide about her upcoming wedding. Ortiz, who plays Betty's sister Hilda on the ABC dramedy, tells TV Guide that plans for her June marriage to musician Noah Lebenzon are going extremely well. Since the lovebirds are tying the knot in Puerto Rico, the... read more
Exclusive: Betty's Salma Hayek Won't Be Back — On Screen | Today's News: Our Take | 5/1/2007
Though Ugly Betty magazine magnates Sophia Reyes and Daniel Meade are on the outs, now that executive producer Salma Hayek is pregnant in real life one wonders: Will Sophia announce she’s pregnant with Daniel’s child? Producers of the show say that story line would be up to Hayek.But Eric Mabius (Daniel) leaves little doubt about what fans should expect. “[Salma] has made it very clear that she’s not going to be returning,” said the actor, who mingled with co-stars... read more
Summer Hiatus | Celebrity Blogs | 5/1/2007
All good things come to an end. Ugly Betty's Season 1 officially wrapped this past Friday (well, Saturday morning). I’d tell you all about the eloquent speeches and heartfelt goodbyes, but I wasn’t there. I finished on Thursday, in the middle of a long day of work, with an enthusiastic applause as everyone moved on to the next scene. Oh, and there were crepes. Free crepes. I ate two, grabbed a cup of coffee to go and walked off the lot for the last time. Well, until July... read more
Like you, I was glad to see a ... | Matt Roush | 4/30/2007
Question: Like you, I was glad to see a new installment of Ugly Betty on April 19. However, unlike you, I did not like it at all. The underage sex, the infidelity, the conniving and a cold, cold Betty that I thought was out of character — what has happened to the show I once loved? I know the characters are caricatures, but they have become caricatures of themselves. We hardly even saw Betty in that week's episode. Is ABC so desperate for viewers that they will ruin a good show by investing in... read more
Ugly Betty's Becki Newton Channels Her Inner Vixen | Today's News: Our Take | 4/26/2007
Ugly Betty's scene-stealing bad girl Becki Newton talks to TV Guide about shaking her booty, stalking Tim Gunn and finding love. (ABC's Ugly Betty airs Thursdays at 8 pm/ET.) TV Guide: How do you get in touch with your inner vixen to play Amanda? Becki Newton: I think of the girls I used to meet at New York City auditions. Girls have a great way of sizing each other up with a look that can debilitate everyone. I was usually the victim of that. I've always been more the Betty than the Amanda.... read more
