Karl Rove-Backed Group's Latest Effort Unlikely, Harsh
Hal Jackson Dead At 96
Say goodbye to Vanessa Williams' NAACP and Teen Choice award-winning character Wilhelmina Slater on 'Ugly Betty.'
The hit ABC dramedy series, which debuted in 2006, is getting axed.
It seems the move from Wednesday to Friday hasn't helped ratings for 'Betty.'
The show's producers and the network announced a joint statement on Jan. 27, which read:
"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."
In addition to the news of the cancellation, the last season will have only 20 episodes instead of 22.
In its four seasons, 'Ugly Betty' received multiple Emmy Award nominations.
The show's breakout star, America Ferrera, won an Emy in 2007 for outstanding leading actress.

I really like the show, it not only entertain me but the word ugly not only mean how people look at each other, but how we feel about ourselves, it helps to know that things she go through comes out good so that ugly part of her life would fair out okay,so Betty would be missed very much.
