What's up with UG's CC? It displayed only like every other line, and
was very, very far from accurate transcript, dropping entire sentences.

You won't have to worry about it for much longer. It's about to be
cancelled.

That seems unlikely based on the ratings, but maybe that psychic guy
who posts here told you something.

It appears to be information from his tin foil hat. Overnights came in
and they are good. Slight drop-off from previous weeks excellent
numbers, but still good ratings and the drop off is not unusually big.

Although one of the success stories this season, of course, is ABC's
improved position on Thursday, the network has actually sprung a leak
at 10 p.m. Week two of the alphabet net's exceptional Ugly Betty
opened the evening on another promising note, with an 11.1/17 in the
overnights (#1), 14.18 million viewers (#2) and a 4.4/13 among adults
18-49 (#2) at 8 p.m. Comparatively, that was a loss from last week's
inflated opening levels (Overnights: #1, 12.2/19; Viewers: #2, 16.32
million; A18-49: #2, 5.0/14 on Sept. 28) of only 9 percent in the
overnights, 2.14 viewers and 12 percent among adults 18-49. In other
words, get used to Ugly Betty!

You wish!

UB will survive. It's too good to go down without a fight and I hope the
latin community fights for this show because it is good.

Sorry, but I wouldn't have said it if I had not heard something.

And I have.

Oh well I read it from an anonymous person on the internet, it MUST be
true! Never mind those great Nielsen ratings! They always cancel
well-rated shows.

Pidge...
Especially when they're #9 in the ratings.
Networks HATE that...
