This is a very sad day for me and for all “Ugly Betty” fans worldwide.

Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello reported that ABC has cancelled the hit television series “Ugly Betty” and that the fourth season would be its last. ABC also trimmed the plan 22 episodes of Ugly Betty’s fourth season to just 20 episodes.

I knew this was coming. But, “Ugly Betty” is one of the few US television series that I really watch. Ugly Betty would be airing it’s 13th episode next Wednesday, February 3, 2010.

I’m wondering how the writers will wrap the show in just seven episodes.

“We’ve mutually come to the difficult decision to make this Ugly Betty’s final season, and are announcing now as we want to allow the show ample time to write a satisfying conclusion. We are extremely proud of this groundbreaking series, and felt it was important to give the fans a proper farewell,” said ABC President Steve McPherson and Executive Producer Silvio Horta in a joint statement.

Oh, no. This is really heartbreaking. I’ll miss the Suarez and the Mode people. Where’s Gio, by the way?

It is official! On the Q&A article published by The Hollywood Reporter on March 5, 2009, ABC Entertainment Group President, Stephen McPherson has clarified that Ugly Betty will return.

“THR: What are your plans for “Ugly Betty”? Will it return in the fall, and will it stay on Thursdays?

“McPherson: “Ugly Betty” will return.”

Early this year, news about the show’s benching has been all over the place with fans and supporters speculating that the show will be axed and replaced by another show. Although the show will indeed have a break a couple of weeks from now, the assurance that Ugly Betty is returning is already great news.
