"Ugly Betty star America Ferrera has suggested that the show was axed last year for having &amp;quot;lost its way&amp;quot;.  The actress conceded that viewers may have been put off by teething problems brought about by conflicting visions for the ABC sitcom.  &amp;quot;By the second series we&amp;#039;d begun to hit a few bumps in the road,&amp;quot; she told the Daily Mail. &amp;quot;It seemed as if everyone had a different vision for the show. &amp;quot;There were too many cooks. Some of the stories didn&amp;#039;t gel and the whole ethos of the show lost its way a little. A lot of viewers switched off. By series three we were back in our stride but many viewers never came back, so the network pulled the plug.&amp;quot; However, Ferrera insisted that she was still proud of Ugly Betty and its unique message.  She said: &amp;quot;[Ugly Betty] defied the old showbusiness belief that looks are everything by proving that they aren&amp;#039;t... Betty was nothing like the usual TV heroine. She wasn&amp;#039;t conventionally beautiful but her inner beauty and decency shone through, which must have been a first for American network TV.&amp;quot; Ferrera has previously called for an Ugly Betty movie to be made.
