some big tv news broke today and i really couldn't be happier. abc announced today that they were picking up the back 9 for new hit the forgotten and axing freshman dramedy eastwick. eastwick will finish out its original 13-episode order and then head into the oblivion that is the tv graveyard. that means that the 10/9c slot will be wide open starting in january. abc currently has two options: either bring back lost as planned or move former top-20 staple ugly betty from its crap of a time slot on fridays. the latter is looking more likely. this season of betty has been critically awesome, but hasn't been pulling in the ratings. well, duh, abc. you put it on friday. no one watches tv on fridays. especially at 9/8c. that's like peak out-to-dinner/before stores close hours. according to e!, the network head honchos want to relaunch betty yet again to regain interest in the show and see the move to wednesday's as the perfect opportunity. plus, ugly betty's tone is much more in line with breakout freshmen shows modern family and cougar town, which air at 9/8c on wednesdays. expect official word from the network in the next week or so.
