ABC is pulling Thursday laffers "In the Motherhood" and "Samantha Who?" a week earlier than planned.
That means "Ugly Betty" returns to the Alphabet's sked on Thursday, April 30 at 8 p.m.
"Betty" was originally slated to return on May 7. But "Motherhood" and "Samantha" continue to disappoint in their Thursday slot.
This past week, "Motherhood" averaged just a 1.4 rating and 5 share in the adults 18-49 demo, while "Samantha" posted a 1.5/5. That weak lead-in threatened to hurt 9 p.m. staple "Grey's Anatomy."
