abc.com makes finding ugly betty just plain ugly
Thursday nights are my TV night - Ugly Betty on at 8pm and Grey’s Anatomy on at 9. However for whatever reasons I can never remember (derrr!) if the shows are new or not.
So naturally I check out abc.com to find out if I can look forward to a new episode each week. Once I get to the site I click on Primetime, scroll through the list of shows and click on Ugly Betty (it’s been more exciting this season than Grey’s so I definitely don’t want to miss it). I’m at the page and looking for some kind of new episode text, promotion, picture. Where’s the big flashing button that distinguishes between “NEW” or “REPEAT”? Hmm scrolling down, reading across the page, clicking on a few links - I get nowhere. Half way down the page there’s an episode description…ok reading…nope doesn’t sound familiar so it must be new, right?
After spending 10-15 minutes on the site I (hopefully) know the episode for the night is new. It shouldn’t be that hard for a visitor to see if an episode is new or not on a specific night. What a waste of time and unnecessary frustration!

what I write about has nothing to do with this…but I like to watch House, but I really like to record the NEW episodes. I find that when I use TV.MSN.COM it makes finding the NEW episodes very easy.
In fact, with my Media Center system hooked up to my Cable and TV, I can set it to record only NEW HOUSE ALL THE TIME. That’s besides the point, you wanted ABC.COM to show you “NEW” episodes, but it didn’t.
Anyway, here is a link and it shows “NEW” episode for Tuesday the 5th - http://tv.msn.com/tv/upcoming-airings/house_2
Best of luck trying to get the dusty media-visions to swing the way of the internet….

I’ve heard so much about this website, so I finally decided to visit it. I have to say that It’s nothing special..
my opinion maybe sounds weird, but why do you all write so serious comments? I mean, do you REALLY think it’s true? Why? What makes you think so? Please share your opinion.
