Fans of "Ugly Betty" will have to wait a week longer for the return of the show in its new Friday slot.

ABC has deiced to push the fourth season premiere of the dramedy from Oct. 9 to Oct. 16.

The network has been using the 8-10 p.m. Friday block to air same-week reruns of its new series to garner additional sampling.

ABC will now extend the double pumping for another week to land extra support to its fledging shows before giving the two-hour block to "Supernanny" and "Ugly Betty."

"Betty" will launch with a two-hour premiere Oct. 16, moving to its regular Friday 9 p.m. slot the following week.

Plot Summary Of Ugly Betty

Betty Suarez has always had one goal in life: to make it into the publishing business. Despite being smart, hard-working, and productive, her dream has always been shadowed by the fact that she isn't as traditionally beautiful as her cover ready colleagues. But despite it all, she is determined to do whatever it takes to fulfill that ultimate dream.

Ugly Betty stars America Ferrera in the title role. The show is based on the wildly popular Colombian telenovela which has already been successfully translated in Mexico, India, Russia, Greece and Germany - all to stellar ratings.
