Whatever happened to Betty?

Whatever happened to Ugly Betty?

Remember when she was all the hooplah, and everything from Billboards to Gino to crazy fashionable poncho wearing Beckhams were obbsessed with TVs latest sweetheart?

I hear rumors that they are indeed still on air. Which means someone must be watching. Which in turn means they must still be churning out some form of storylines. But then Eastwick came along and... either Rebecca Romjin has a twin with a flair or that's Daniel's brother-turned-sister (should I still have a spoiler warning for any newcomers to this?)?

And didn't Daniel at some point get a son? And that guy.. from Harpers... And that teeny bop series ages ago! With the glasses? Henry!! No, wait... Was that his name here too? Right, anyway, didn't he get preggers with missy red hair from Glee (love her bthw! she must sing more!)? And Gino left for some reason. Maybe to go back to making dead people look creepily pretty on TV? No? And the Mead matriarch started a new mag and someone froze someone elses sperm to get preggers and get a part of the company? Oh, and there was Kiss, right?!

Okay, well, anyways, my point is how did this show fall so far and fast? I mean, Desperate Housewives is apparently doing great still, with planes from Lost crashing in and renewals of contracts for years and years! And speaking of Lost... Time travel? Really!!? And Grey's is... well, anyway, Betty was so sweet and quirky and funny and different. How come they didn't take?

Is the poncho no longer funny? Or did Betty get too pretty in her makeover ala network style?
