Big news for ABC: Mediaweek's Marc Berman reports that "Ugly Betty" had a terrific launch last night, virtually tying "Survivor" and proving a potent lead-in to "Grey's Anatomy." Both ABC and CBS are vying for bragging rights, while NBC -- which owned Thursday nights for almost two decades, is a distant third. Let's hope "Ugly Betty" can improve on its pilot creatively and find the right blend of telenovela silliness and real characters. The first episode wasn't quite there, but it did have a nice sweetness most shows lack.
