Ugly Betty, a quirky comedy about a New York fashion magazine starring Vanessa Williams, was a surprise hit last year in its debut season for ABC.
Ugly Betty airs Thursday nights on ABC.

Jericho, which focuses on a small U.S town after a nuclear attack, has won a cult following on the Net, although it was cancelled by CBS. (News reports, however, say Comcast could offer funding to keep the show running next season.)
