Going From Ugly To Slutty
Recent reports indicate that ABC is looking at giving at least one show on its Thursday night lineup a bit of face lift. In order to grab hold of the ever elusive 18-35 yr old male market, Ugly Betty will be undergoing some massive changes. Originally based on the Columbian telenovela, “Yo soy Betty, la fea” (”I am Betty, the ugly one“), the new story arcs will be based on the more successful Mexican telenovela, “Yo soy Betty, la puta del fin de semana” (”I am Betty, the weekend whore”).
In the season opener, Betty Suarez (played by America Ferrera) finds herself in the arms of Daniel (played by Eric Mabius) after a night of binge-drinking. Following a passionate night of hot tawdry sex, Daniel mistakingly hands Betty several hundred dollars. Realizing her true potential, Betty decides to continue spending her week working for Meade Publishing, and her weekends sleeping with random men for fists full of cash.
The newly dubbed “Slutty Betty” should begin airing on ABC in September.

Possible Solution To The Writer’s Strike
With the writer’s strike running at a feverish pace, the networks have had to scramble to find programming. Once the current run of reality shows are complete, if the strike hasn’t ended, television executives for the major networks may need to consider other options.
It is only a matter of time until one of these executives has a moment of genuis, and states the following (or at least something close).
“If the old saying that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare stands true, a single monkey in front of a PC should at least be able to put together our Tuesday lineup.”
Based on the less then stellar writing I’ve seen on Cavemen, it wouldn’t surprise me if this is something the networks had already been testing.
