Hopfully it's to retool the show and move these characters forward. Focus on character growth and not plot to fit the characters. As for the Marc and Amanda Show: LOVE IT. I think it should be about their off time. Or maybe when they first meet and partied. lol Perhaps because “Ugly Betty” got beaten by Fox’s “Bones” last week was the nail in the coffin thus “UB”’s hiatus from the schedule.

I'm watching this weeks episode as i type this, but the episodes so far seemed like a step up from last year. I thought Betty really grew up after getting her new place, and the show continued to flesh out the other characters. I hope the show doesn't stay off the air for too long.

I thought they were going to do that gradually, but it seems like she is just as tragic as in the first season. At least lose one or two staples of her season one look. I say lose the braces and the chunky jewelry! And they do need to let Betty look a little more normal.

It felt like the show was trying to make me sympathize with the family when to me the family was completely in the wrong and increasingly annoying. I got tired of seeing Betty punished by her "support" group over stupid family things that really didn't amount to anything that dramatic. Unless they did actually want me to get annoyed by it. In that case I was annoyed a looong time ago and they need to let the family grow up, move on, and be supportive again.

It would be realistic for her to do it now because she has worked there so long, And yes, the braces needs to go too. If they would do this to her it would feel like a new show. And I also wish she would just tell her family, mostly Hilda, that she has a career - deal with it! Hilda asks way to much out of here, I feel like she is jealous and that's becoming a big problem, I don't want to hate Hilda, but if she keeps doing this...

There is NO way that Betty would need to have braces this long. Let's get those bad boys off. Also, I know it is a small thing but it bugs me each week.

But seriously, let's get that spinoff moving! I agree with bws...I was sooo upset at the end of last week's episode when Betty said she was moving out. Anything that drops Amanda's screen time is just not okay. Also, what happened to the journalism that Marc and Betty were doing (can't think of the name...)?? I thought that was finally going to be the path to Betty growing up some. I think it is time for the show to move Betty and Marc away from being assistants to actually moving on with their careers in some way. Not necessarily away from Mode (unless ABC agrees with said spinoff!), but just something more than Betty screwing up and fixing it or Marc skeeming/helping Wilemina. Why don't they try looking for Amanda's father again or something a little less wrapped up each episode. It is starting to feel like a procedural without the crime lab.

I feel a little wrong each episode but generally, I've been siding with Betty when she puts work in front of her family. Am I supposed to feel that way? I think I'm supposed to feel torn. A few episodes back she was supposed to get the fancy dress for the cover shoot so she had to miss that family thing? That was an easy decision. Betty isn't a little girl. She has a career. Sometimes her job is really awful, but I've been siding with her a lot lately. Agreed!

And seriously about the fashion and the eyebrows and the hair! And this perpetuation that she is somehow fat when she's a size 6 at max. They need to take this time to retool the show. And what happened to Yeti? Watching this weeks episode I found Betty so shrieky and not really a sympathetic character. And seriously about the fashion and the eyebrows and the hair!

They need to take this time to retool the show. And what happened to Yeti?
