Poor Betty
Although it pains me to say it because I've got a secret soft spot in my heart for Ugly Betty, part of me hopes that ABC decides to cancel it so that a whole new generation of weird girls will be forced to recognize that maybe mainstream culture just isn't for them, that TV isn't designed to care about them, and that there's a much more interesting and diverse world to be found in books, music, and film -- just like I had to learn when they canceled My So-Called Life.

Would Betty be able to land a swank Manhattan job in today's economy?
I think all those jobs are now going to the sex-in-the-city wannabees.
Part of what drew me to Betty was the fact that, even though I was the WEIRD one, she was one (at least) level higher on the weird scale, and still managed to land on her feet.
Fritz is right, though. Reliability? Peh. Probably only the Laguna Beach type get the jobs.
Oh god, I mourned for years when they cancelled My So-Called Life! I nearly drowned in tears.
