The candy manufacturers had better watch out, because as Halloween is approaching, TV shows have been coming up with their own candies, inspired by some of the more colorful, interesting characters. Take a look at this list, and see which are treats and which are tricks. And, listen, tell us what kind of candy your favorite TV characters might inspire!
8. How I Met Your Mother - Robin Scherbatsky's Canadian corn
Oh, Canada. Slutty pumpkins aside, Robin had to convince her American friends that Canada not only celebrates Halloween, but Canadian corn is the best Halloween candy ever. That's right, Canadian corn. It's like candy corn, only it's orange on the top and white on the bottom. It also tastes like pancakes because it isn't made with corn syrup; it's made with maple syrup.

If you had the return of
Ugly Betty in your datebook -- or PDA -- for Friday, October 9, it's time for an update. ABC has
moved the season premiere of Ugly Betty to October 16. It'll be a double shot of
Betty, two-hours instead of just one. After the premiere,
Ugly Betty will fall into its regular slot of Friday at 9 p.m. Unfortunately, a double dose of
Ugly Betty won't be enough to pump up the ratings. ABC isn't doing
Betty any favor by plunking it on Friday nights when there are less people watching TV. Sure, there are lower expectations, but what does it say about the network's faith in the show? Why not just put it on Saturday when even less viewers tune in? (What happened to programming for Saturday night anyway? Once upon a time, great shows actually thrived on Saturdays!)

ABC president Steve McPherson just finished holding court at his network's executive session. Not much in the way of news came up, but when an astute critic -- namely me -- brought up Katherine Heigl's latest foot-in-mouth incident, McPherson didn't mince words.
He called the
Grey's star's remarks -- where she complained on several talk shows about
her 17-hour first day back on the set, a day that supposedly was created to accommodate her promotional schedule for
The Ugly Truth -- "unfortunate." He continued: "It is what it is. People are going to choose to behave the way they behave." He felt especially bad for the show's behind-the-scenes crew, who also put in those long hours without complaint; "It's really hard for the people busting their tails every day to hear that (from Heigl)." He later said that "I'm not going to try to explain someone else's behavior," and repeated the word "unfortunate" once again.

If they give the title character a radical change, as sources are reportedly seriously considering at ABC's
Ugly Betty, does that include a title change to reflect the alteration? In other words,
will Ugly Betty be the same show if Betty becomes a beauty?
Mike Ausiello is reporting that ABC has focus grouped a couple of scenes from the upcoming season in which Betty is remodeled to look more fashionable in the fashion world. As
Mode's new associate features editor, she opts for some fancy new outfits and a less eclectic, eccentric look. She's also had her hair, brows and makeup redone ... no doubt after a trip to Hilda's beauty salon.

I swear, I get more TV news from
Twitter these days than nearly anywhere else. To wit: I just found out a brand new piece of
Ugly Betty casting news from one of the stars himself. Ralph Macchio, the erstwhile
Karate Kid, who joined
Betty at the beginning of last season, will be reprising his role in season 4.
He tweeted: "
4 all inquiring about Ugly Betty. Just got official call that Archie will b back in Season 4. 4 how much, how long and when. Don't know yet."Continue reading Ralph Macchio to return to Ugly Betty

Let's be honest. There are really only four or five real contenders for this category, and most of them were nominated last year. But it's not like the talented Tina Fey (
30 Rock), Mary Louise-Parker (
Weeds), Julia Louise-Dreyfus (
The New Adventures of Old Christine) and America Ferrera (
Ugly Betty) don't deserve the recognition. They all fit the bill, and most of their shows were damn good this year.
I'd be happy to see any one of them go home with the gold on Emmy night. I'd also love to see some recognition for Christina Applegate's work in
Samantha Who?, a great show that got the ax earlier this year.

First of all, if for some reason you're an
Ugly Betty fan that hasn't gotten around to seeing the season finale,
click away and watch it right now, because there are spoilers ahead. Also, you should probably reconsider calling yourself an
Ugly Betty fan because you're way, way late on the uptake.
Secondly, if you're curious about Ashley Jensen, you're in the right place. And I'm sorry for questioning your devotion to Betty and the gang a few sentences ago. That was uncalled for.
