It's Ugly Betty, season 4 all over again ... Getting shipped off to Friday nights (which I believe was called "The place where old shows go to die" at the time) sent Ugly Betty's already slowly declining rating into a death spin that it couldn't recover from. They tried moving it to Wednesday night's (at 10 pm!) when ABC's attempt at adapting the Witches of Eastwick failed. I think the ratings actually improved once it went to Wednesdays, but the rating damage from the move to Friday nights couldn't be undone and the show was cancelled. Ironically Ugly Betty and OUAT were the only must watch shows on ABC for me over the last decade.
