I like the idea if only to get more Broadway actors as guest spots. First, it gives them something other the L&O to do. Second, if its campy bitchy actors they need, isn’t Broadway the best place to look for them!?!

i however didn’t realise (or I did but forgot) that they fired showrunner Marco P during the strike?

No wonder you feel its off. I do think its still re-finding itself after the strike (although I guess maybe thats not an excuse really) but Im still enjoying it.

So I thought about it, tried to justify it, and it makes no sense. Most of the scenes essentially take place at MODE, (If they don’t, they should) therefore it doesn’t matter where the show is shot. Seriously, if moving to NY means more scenes outside of MODE than what’s the point? That’s where the action is (or should be).

This is so dumb. When the ratings go down, you’re supposed to spend LESS money in order to show the network that you’re worth keeping. If networks cancel well rated shows for being too expensive, then what is the logic in this move.

Location doesn’t matter. It’s the writing. Character development over PLOT. Yet, I still love “betty”. Just not as funny as it use to be. I’m available if ABC is interested in cheap labor. =)

Naf,

Unfortunately ratings are down for virtually every show on TV since the end of the strike. I blame GTA 4!

I can’ really see what moving location is going to do for the show. But I think, creatively, Ugly Betty has been pretty good during season 2. I know the ratings are down, but I’m not exactly sure what they can do to bring people back. Why having the numbers dropped so much?
