ABC cancels “Ugly Betty”

In a sad but unsurprising move, ABC announced this afternoon that they are canceling Ugly Betty. In fact, they’ve asked the writers to trim down the fourth season from 22 to 20 episodes. Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello broke the news with the following joint statement from network and Betty execs:

We’ve mutually come to the difficult decision to make this Ugly Betty’s final season, and are announcing now as we want to allow the show ample time to write a satisfying conclusion. We are extremely proud of this groundbreaking series, and felt it was important to give the fans a proper farewell.

What would you like to see for these characters as Betty comes to a close?
