ugly_betty_300x400So, it seems that since moving to the Friday night ‘death slot’ on ABC, ‘Ugly Betty’ hasn’t been performing well and will be moved to Wednesday nights again. I guess it’s a compromise. It’s ratings decreased , which is why it lost it’s primo Thursday time slot, but putting it on Friday was like sentencing it to doom. Here’s hoping Wednesday night improves it’s ratings.

Surprisingly, ‘The Forgotten’ has been picked up for 5 more shows. That doesn’t mean it will be back next season. I’m kind of scratching my head at why the show received and order for more episodes. Meanwhile, word is out that ‘Eastwick’ will not be renewed and it’s questionalbe as to whether its  remaining shows will air. I called it. I think it’s cute and fun, but I just knew it wasn’t going to make it.

I thought it would be fun to look at my old post about Steve Sternberg’s new Fall TV  predictions. He called that ‘Trauma’, ‘Three Rivers’, ‘The Forgotten’ and ‘The Beautiful Life’ would all be misses. He was right about that. He was also correct about ‘Glee’, ‘Modern Family’, ‘Vampire Diaries’, ‘The Good Wife’ and ‘NCIS: Los Angeles’ being winners. NCIS: Los Angeles already has a syndication deal (as does the Mentalist).

One show on his hit list was ‘Flash Forward’. As I blogged in the previous post, ‘Flash Forward’ has been steadily slipping the last two weeks. This week will be critical to it’s future prospects for renewal. If it slips even more, it’s future could be uncertain and probably bleak. If it remains at this current level (2.7) it’s right on the edge. If it goes up, well obviously it will remain safe. Geesh. Talk about a nail biter. Really love that show.

I’ll be looking at ‘V’s numbers tomorrow and blogging about them. Week two episode will air tonight, so don’t forget to watch or set that DVR!

Just for a wrap up;
