Since Grey's Anatomy has been almost totally same-sex scrubbed, the ABC series remaining with the gayest sensibility is the Thursday night mainstay Ugly Betty. Now, even that show is in some incredibly butch danger.
ABC announced today that it would bench Betty in March to make way for Samantha Who and the Megan Mullally-terrorized Motherhood, then return the America Ferrara vehicle after those two sitcoms complete their runs. However, as Michael Ausiello points out, that would be June (at the earliest).
The move is only the latest pratfall for Betty, which ABC has tinkered with constantly in the hopes of recapturing its first-season ratings (though many of the show's early elements—including executive producer Marco Pennette, the Los Angeles set, and Rebecca Romijn as a transsexual—have been jettisoned). At least if ABC shelves Betty entirely, Ferrera can always guest on her best friend Blake Lively's show. Oh, wait.
