Ugly Betty is an American dramedy television series created by Silvio Horta, which premiered on ABC on September 28, 2006 and ended on April 14, 2010.[1] The series revolves around the character Betty Suarez and is based on the Colombian telenovela Yo soy Betty, la fea, which was created by Fernando Gaitán. The series was produced by Silent H, Ventanarosa and Reveille Productions partnered with ABC Studios, and was primarily filmed in Los Angeles, but together with the pilot episode and the third and fourth season, the series was filmed in New York City. The executive producers were Salma Hayek, Silvio Horta, Ben Silverman, Jose Tamez and Joel Fields.
During its first three seasons, it aired on Thursday nights, where it was mostly successful. However, viewership dropped significantly in the show's third season, particularly in the important 18–49 age group. In October 2009, the series was moved to Fridays, where it had trouble finding an audience. The backlash from its fans prompted ABC to move the show to Wednesdays at 10:00 pm Eastern/9:00 pm Central starting January 6, 2010, where it was thought that it would better complement its Wednesday hits Modern Family and Cougar Town,[2][3] but on January 27, 2010, ABC announced it was cancelling the series due to low ratings.[4] With the end of the series, there is talk of a push by Ana Ortiz and America Ferrera for an Ugly Betty movie.
