The LA Times has today's big scooperoo: The entire production of "Ugly Betty" is moving to New York next season.
This is a big deal for New York and for its production industry - minuscule by Hollywood standards, of course, and which was rocked in the wake of Nine Eleven. A show like this could employ some two hundred techs, stage hands, and various other production personnel, though more importantly for viewers, the visuals of this already visually striking show could change. Expect a lot more outdoor shots, like "Law & Order," and a more visceral New York look.
Why to NYC? The Times reports the show and Disney want to take advantage of recently enacted tax credits.
(Right, America's about to love New York.)
