It also was in line with what &#8220;Supernanny&#8221; had done in the timeslot last year, proving there was no Friday spike created by scheduling what was, just a few years ago, one of the most buzzed about shows on television.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Betty&#8221; was not the only show to struggle Friday.  NBC&#8217;s &#8220;The Jay Leno Show&#8221; reached an all-time low 1.2 adults 18-49 rating (with 5 million viewers) in the 10PM slot.  With a lead-in that was no worse than it was in previous weeks, the number is quite alarming.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/view.picapp.com\/default.aspx?term=ugly betty&#038;iid=6825291\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.picapp.com\/ftp\/Images\/5\/f\/4\/e\/America_Ferrera_looks_2c83.JPG?adImageId=6067903&#038;imageId=6825291\" width=\"380\" height=\"570\"  border=\"0\" alt=\"America Ferrera looks far from an Ugly Betty as she visits the Good Morning America studios in New York\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.pis.picapp.com\/IamProd\/PicAppPIS\/JavaScript\/PisV4.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>&quot;Ugly Betty&quot; Premiere Bombs in Ratings, New Low For &quot;Jay Leno Show&quot;<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The season four &quot;Ugly Betty&quot; premiere, in the ABC show&#039;s new Friday timeslot, delivered an absolutely abysmal rating.
