But thankfully, that problem will soon be solved. Sources confirm for me that the show’s moving to Wednesdays at 10 pm/ET, most likely when it returns from its holiday hiatus in January. If you don’t think it’s good news that Betty is joining what will soon be ABC’s all-comedy night (even though the network isn’t confirming the schedule change yet), trust me, or trust Mike, who has to be among its biggest cheerleaders, you haven’t seen it lately. It’s great! So what do you think? Will more viewers check out and/or return to the series when it escapes from its Friday purgatory and joins the Wednesday laffers? And if not, how sucktacular will that be? source: ew.com

They have the chance to have a very solid lineup with The Middle/Modern Family/Cougar Town/Ugly Betty if they do it right. They just need a good show to lead off the night. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Friday didn't kill the show. It's ratings on Thursday were strong enough to build on another night. It did better and was most consistant than FlashFoward which will probably be canceled.

If they really wanted it gone, they would have left it alone on Friday, right?

I have found that to be the least appealing part of the whole show except for when she was getting close to Gio , the sandwich guy. I liked their chemistry and I liked the actor but all the other love interests for Betty bore me.
