I so love Ugly Betty…even if they moved the airing night, I would still watch it. As long as I have my DVR I won’t miss anything :) CAN’T WAIT!!

Okay so I am super excited for the premiere of course. BUT (and its a big one) why is it that they are moving it to a Friday? They are setting the show up for failure. The demo audience for this show will most likey be out and enjoying their weekend. Sure they could watch later but then the show will have low ratings and get dropped. This really sounds suspect to me. What do you guys think?

Yay!!! 2 hours of UB!! I’m wondering if they are having a two hour episode to make up for the later premiere date.. I agree with Sir Lizard thst it will probably be 2 separate episodes like the finale.I’m guessing the first hour will address the issues in the cliffhanger..Daniel dealing w/Molly’s death/the mystery who Wili saw/Claire & Cal’s “adopted child” (altho that issue will probably be on-going for a while)/Betty at her new editor’s job & the aftermath of her break-up w/Matt & dealing with him as her new boss..Then the second hour will be some other things going on & possibly some of the same issues from the first hour.. esp. w/Betty..

Technically, two-hour episodes have to be considered two separate episodes, even if they have one title that is designated as “Part I” and “Part II”. Double episodes have to be edited in such a way that they can air separately once a show goes into syndication. I don’t think that our two-hour season finale that we just saw a few weeks ago was necessarily intended to be a two-hour event. Those episodes were probably conceived as two separate episodes, thus the two different episode titles and no “Part I” and “Part II” designations. I would imagine that ABC is counting them as two separate episodes, that way if they were to (God forbid) decide not to pick up the “back nine”, this two-hour premiere would be counted as two episodes from the standard initial order of thirteen episodes.
