Ugly Betty Replaces Motherhood, Samantha Early
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, ABC

UPDATE: Samantha Who? and In the Motherhood are officially over for the season. A Grey’s repeat will fill the 8:00 time slot this week.
Weeks after being displaced from its time slot, Ugly Betty is coming back to take its place. Early.
Hello, May sweeps!
ABC has just announced that the series will pick up where it left off beginning April 30. That’s one week before it was previously slated to return. It’s also the date Samantha Who? and In the Motherhood had been scheduled to air their finales.
So what does this mean for the pair of comedies? Maybe the network can find some more space on its Saturday night calendar?
