Eastwick's Loss Could Be Betty's Gain!

Filed under: TV News

With news that Rebecca Romijn's Witches Of Eastwick may soon be canned, plans are in place to use her time slot to another show's advantage.

Ugly Betty, though still a fan favorite, isn't pulling the same kind of numbers on its new slot on Friday night. However, with the move to Wednesday nights at 10, with lead-ins like Modern Family and Cougar Town, the show just might find its mojo again.

Plus, ABC would have a solid block of programming for the first time in a while!

The only issue that remains unresolved is where to slate the final hours of Lost when it returns in the new year. It's possible to move it to another night other than Wednesday, but will they really do that to the show in its final season?

Ah, screw it. People will watch the stupid show even if it is on at 2 a.m.

We say forget about the damn island and focus on rescuing Betty.

Hey, maybe they could get Rebecca Romijn to come back to the show. She'll be unemployed!

      The show is titled Eastwick as you mentioned in the lead and not Witches of Eastwick as you mention in the post moron.

      this was on e news this morning… please put betty on a non weekend night!!!!



    3. 3

      Fuck Betty, they better not mess with the time slot of LOST. I've been waiting months for that show to come back on.



    4. 4

      Be careful what you say about LOST! That show is the most amazing show ever made. People just don't like it cause they're not smart enough to understand it! Betty is a hollow,pointless show.



    5. 5

      OMG THEY CAN'T CANCEL EASTWICK! I LOVE THAT SHOW ITS SOOOO GOOOD!!! IM SO FUCKING TIRED OF NEW SHOWS GETTING CANCELLED, WHY BOTHER WATCH TV IF YOUR SHOW JUST GOES AWAY? UGLY BETTY SUCKS DONKEY DICK



    6. 6

      I agree, I'd watch Lost at anytime.. but to call it stupid??? and to suggest forgetting about the damn island??? That hurts, Perez. You're missing out on the most amazing sci-fi/drama EVER.



    7. 7

      If betty were such a fan favorite like you say then it would be doing fine in the ratings. The show always sucked anyway.



    8. 8

      I love Ugly Betty! There aren't enough smart and classy Mexican American women on TV. This show always makes me happy! Please help Perez!



    9. 9

      I hope ABC people are reading this… I would LOVE the idea of Ugly Betty on wednesdays. It would be refreshing to see something good on what seems to be a lackluster wednesdays. Especially after Glee! LOL. And Modern family/Cougartown of course! DO IT DO IT DO IT!!!!!!



    10. 10

      i would love this… abc has the best line up on Wed. and adding Ugly Betty there would make it even better!!



    11. 11

      Save Betty. It a Prime time soap Opera, and we love it here in the UK =D



    12. 12

      NOOOOO! Eastwick is my guilty pleasure. F'n ABC. Ugly Betty is so boring. Never have liked it.



    13. 13

      LOL Perez why dont you just be honest and say you're too much of a dumbass to get LOST. Lost is the GREATEST show on television and if you have an ounce of intelligence in ya, you would know that. Sad.

      LOST RETURNS JAN 2010! The final season!!! THE BEST FUCKING SHOW (perez is too stupid to get hahahahah)



    14. 14

      Lost is not stupid you ignorant man.



    15. 15

      I HOPE they move UB to the 10 pm time slot. I love that show but am never home Friday night to watch it. Lucky for me I have rogers on demand and can watch it any time



    16. 16

      Once again, your journalism skills astound me. Eastwick Perez, stop adding to the title!



    17. 17

      I really like Eastwick !!!! They can't cancel it.



    18. 18

      I love Eastwick and I really hope that they dont cancel it. they should cancel Greys that show sucks i mean come on how mant doctor shows are out there, this show is actually different



    19. 19

      noooo…..i loveee Eastwick!!!



    20. 20

      I hope they don't cancel Eastwick.. it's so well written! I love it. How can a show like Charmed (which I admit to watching at times) that is campy.. stay on for over 8 years, and Eastwick can't make it past it's first season???



    21. 21

      HA so it is moving to Wednesdays I thought the network wanted to get rid of it after all Fridays is where sitcoms go to die…unless your in the 1990's and ABC's TGIF, but thats the only exception. Good to see they are moving it, besides can they get accurate ratings with everyone in the main target group watching shows online?



    22. 22

      Yay! Save Betty. I love that show, especially now that she is no longer so ugly.



    23. 23

      Betty is a great show, one of the few I watch and its good its being moved to a better night, Friday is just not that good - but 10 p.m. after Cougartown is not good because I think a lot of kids watch the show -and will be in bed by then, 8 p.m. was a perfect time for it



    24. 24

      My parents love this show. My dad is 56 and my mom is 69! I can't make a peep when it is on. I've watched it with them and I love it also but I do tend to watch something else because I do have a 42 inch flat screen that keeps me busy. My poor parents would be so upset if this show was taken off the air. I have not seen them sit together and watch TV like this in a long time! They even make popcorn to watch! LOL



    25. 25

      I believe Lost is on at 9pm anyway, so this doesn't really matter. Cougar Town and Modern Family will be the ones to go at that time, not the show on at 10pm.



    26. 26

      I like this show… I knew it would be cancelled because its different and its not a shoot em up or a reality piece of crap.. AMERICAN tv is so LAME!



    27. 27

      They CANNOT CANCEL EASTWICK!!! It's so different than anything else on right now. What they need to do is promote the damn show; I only found it because I happened to stumble across it! I absolutely LOVE it and Ugly Betty can screw off, they've had their run. ABC, give Eastwick a chance! We don't need another fashion centralized tv show-I watch enough of those and I need something different LIKE EASTWICK!!! Please promote the show and dont cancel Eastwick!!



    28. 28

      I still can't believe they canceled the show!! It's one of my favorites!! :(
