    • News out of Hollywood and ABC came out on Monday that might put fans of one popular ABC series into an uproar. America Ferrera didn’t even know of this news when she hit the red carpet at the Screen Actor’s Guild Awards this weekend. The network is decided to pulling the series off of its schedule in March to bring back Samantha Who and air a new comedy, In The Motherhood.

      This announcement may come as a shock to fans. However, the numbers have been going down this series. At the start of the third season, the series was bringing in about 8 million viewers. Those numbers dropped to a little under four million in recent weeks. The numbers have gone back up, but they still aren’t reaching the same height they had in the past.

      With this drop in numbers, ABC thinks this spot would be perfect to launch a new comedy series and give Samantha Who another chance to shine. They say they are merely trying to reduce the number of reruns aired this year. They are also putting comedies into their Wednesday night line-up, allowing them to take over the time slot once owned by Pushing Daisies.

      Many have been saying Ugly Betty isn’t the same series this season. Cast changes and a move to New York City for production has changed things, but there is a promise of more big things happening. A rumored romance, and someone unexpected turning evil. What do you think of Ugly Betty?
