sweeps month: friday edition

i remember the days when friday night was full of great family sitcoms. i used to watch full house and family matters every friday night. it seems since those shows ended, friday night has been somewhat of a dud night for good tv. recently, one of my favorite shows was moved to friday night.


ugly betty
ABC 9/8c

ugly betty is an enjoyable and humorous com-dram about an innocent, somewhat attractive girl, who works for a fashion magazine in new york city. betty definitely has her own sense of fashion!

i thought that ugly betty had always received good ratings, but during its third season, it was in jeopardy of being canceled and, in fact, took a brief hiatus mid-season. thankfully, due to petitions to the network, ugly betty was renewed for a forth season, yet moved to friday nights - the television death slot. hopefully is will be revived and continue on for many more seasons!
