Ugly Betty canceled
- Thread starter 23skidoo
- Start date
Yeah, well, I like tsq a hell of a lot more than I like this show so it was likely to come up.

As I recall, Betty became more prettier towards the end of the original Colombian telenovela, or was given a makeover and won the boy at the end-not that there was anything really 'ugly' about this version of Betty to begin with, I would have dated her and made love to her on the second date!
One thing I wonder-why no footsie-footsie ( e.g., a scene with Betty in her bare feet?)

Yeah, like Ally McBeal in that regard or Felicity.
What is the story behind it?
tsq and three classes full of kids from her school on a school trip were booted from the American Museum of Natural History because Ugly Betty was filming there.
Oh, and it was tsq's birthday too.
So, as far as I'm concerned, this news is just karma. Ugly Betty can fuck right off in to the wastebin of long forgotten television garbage where it belongs.
It wasn't garbage, it was very funny and entertaining at moments.
Maybe it did, but I'm still on tsq's side here.

So I suppose that in the future, most American shows can go back to filming in Toronto or Vancouver, or completely at a local film studio like Silvercup Studios?
This reminds me of an incident in Toronto four years back in which a woman who lived in Kensington Market was not able to gain entry to her house because a movie (a Canadian one at that!) was filming near there. The lady (Mary Fish) made some noise, and then the director lost his cool and had her arrested. The incident made a big stink in the local media, especially considering that the movie in question and its director was, as I said before, Canadian.
That said, although I feel for you and fsq's loss, wishing cancellation on a show simply because of a scheduling snafu (which I admit could have been handled better by the production company and the museum staff) is kind of harsh. Also, what was said about visiting the museum by the kids generally should also be taken into account as well-the kids should really take it upon themselves to visit the place by themselves rather than have to only go on a school trip.
I am so glad they took this show off the air. Watched it one time then never watched it again it sucked.
