goodbye betty

From AB POSITIVE

i'm no couch potato but i do love my TV shows. from medical drama, to suspense thrillers, to sappy soaps and goofy sitcoms. you see, when i do find something i like, i stick to it, follow it religiously and make it part of my daily routine of sorts. yeah, i'm loyal like that.

so imagine my heartbreak when i saw the last episode of my betty over at hulu. it seemed just yesterday (well, make that 3 plus years ago) when it first aired. it's funny and light and warm ... reminded me so much of my afternoons watching the gilmore girls back in pine ridge. how come when i get so attached to a show, it gets cancelled or they end it just like that? gilmore girls, friends, e.r., lie to me, ugly betty ... what's up with that?

ok. ok. this is a positive home, so i won't go on and rant about something as silly as a TV show. just let me say, today i'm thankful for ugly betty. it was good while it lasted. kept me company, made me laugh, made me root for the brace-wearing, bespectacled fashionably challenged girl from queens.

thank you betty, i really enjoyed you.
