Ugly Betty, which has been very well advertised and publicised by Channel 4, has been on air since Friday 5th January, making it the new Comedy for Friday Nights, given the 9.30pm slot.
But since CBB5 ended, it was given the 9pm slot, so this could be a strategy to improve Ugly Betty's ratings. But let's see how this US Hit sitcom is doing on Channel 4 in the UK:

Friday 5th January -
Pilot (9.30pm-10.30pm)
Ratings: 4.5 million

Friday 12th January -
The Box and The Bunny (9.30-10.30pm)
Ratings: 3.2 million

Friday 19th January -
Queens For A Day (9.30pm-10.30pm)
Ratings: 4.9 million

Friday 26th January -
Fey's Sleigh Ride (9.30pm-10.30pm)
Ratings: 3.8 million

Average So Far: 4.1 million

It is doing well so far, but I need to get yesterday's ratings to see its full progress...

its going GREAT no matter what stats show!

but clever you for finding them!

This just further proves my point about how she should have her own forum!

Exactly, its the best thing on TV at the moment. go for it

^ more and more people agree. c'mon betty forum!

Ugly betty def needs its own forum

Thats really good ch4 seems to get comedy rite unlike the rather hopless ITV, which incidently ratings are slipping for benidorm and bonkers, i only watch bonkers for the lovely oli chris but he's wasted in it.

TV Burp gets 6million viewers

I totally agree she should have her own forum,i watched the first series now i cant wait for the next.

I was dissapointed in this show for the first two weeks, but I was told to bare with it and I have done, it keeps getting better and better.

yep.. totally i loooove the show and i think she should have her own forum!

im with everyone else ugly betty should have her own forum, i would join as soon as she had one

Ugly Betty is still a good show, but ratings are making a new low of around 2 million recently, whihc could be due to Castaway and other porgrammes at 9.00pm:

Episode 1 - 4.5 million
Episode 2 - 3.2 million
Episode 3 - 4.9 million
Episode 4 - 3.8 million
Episode 5 - 3.1 million
Episode 6 - 3.1 million
Episode 7 - 2.9 million
Episode 8 - 3.1 million
Episode 9 - 2.7 million
Episode 10 - 2.5 million

Even ratings have dropped by 3 million, it has still maintained a great fanbase, just like Friends. So maybe Ugly Betty deserves its own thread after all.

i agree i've been saying this all along!
i think they should get rid of the invasion forum and put and ugly betty one in its place, i mean invasion has been axed in america its never coming back!!!!

same with the many shows not even on channel 4 anymore. i've petitioned and pleaded and it got us no where i'm afraid..

i cant beleive it dropped under 3 million, but its still good ratings for channel 4.
loads of us want a betty forum.

i cant believe that the ratings dropped. ugly betty is like the best progamme ever!! the ratings should be increasing!!
