Ugly Betty

[BB-Rocks]

New US comedy starting on 5th January 2007
In the superficial world of high fashion, image is everything. Styles come and go, and the only constants are the superthin beauties who wear them. How can an ordinary girl – a slightly plump plain-Jane from Queens – possibly fit in?

If you took a moment to get to know Betty Suarez, you'd see how sweet, intelligent and hard-working she is. But few people do, because in the world of high fashion Betty is the oversized peg in the petite round hole. When publishing mogul Bradford Meade hands the reigns of Mode, the bible of the fashion industry, over to this son, Daniel, he specifically hires Betty as his son's new assistant – mostly because she's the only woman in NYC Daniel won't sleep with. Though this "player" is reluctant to accept her at first, Betty's indomitable spirit and bright ideas will eventually win him over. Neither of them really knows the ins and outs of the fashion world, but the two are a formidable team against those who will do anything to see them fall.

And they really are swimming with the sharks. Diva fashionista Wilhelmina Slater is incensed that Bradford Meade passed her over and promoted Daniel to the coveted job after the mysterious death (or was it?) of Mode's legendary editress, Fey Sommers. Wilhelmina, along with toadying assistant Marc and scheming receptionist Amanda, are out to sabotage Daniel and Betty any chance they get. Betty finds a friend in warm-hearted Christina, who works as the magazine's in-house seamstress and seems to know everything about everybody who works there.

Away from work, Betty's home life is far from glamorous. Dad Ignacio and her sister, Hilda, worry that she's just setting herself up for a fall, while nephew Justin encourages his aunt to dream big (even if he's aghast at her fashion sense). Nerdy boyfriend Walter, who unceremoniously dumped Betty, keeps turning up despite her attempts to get him to stay away.

"Ugly Betty" stars America Ferrera as Betty Suarez, Eric Mabius as Daniel Meade, Alan Dale as Bradford Meade, Tony Plana as Ignacio, Ana Ortiz as Hilda, Ashley Jensen as Christina, Becki Newton as Amanda, Mark Indelicato as Justin and Vanessa Williams as Wilhelmina Slater. Recurring guest stars are Michael Urie as Marc and Kevin Sussman as Walter.

Based on "Yo Soy Betty La Fea," the groundbreaking Colombian telenovela that became an international phenomenon, "Ugly Betty" is from Touchstone Television. Academy Award nominee and Emmy Award winner Salma Hayek is executive producer, along with Silvio Horta ("Urban Legends"), Ben Silverman, ("The Office"), Jose Tamez ("The Maldonado Miracle"), James Parriott ("Grey's Anatomy") and James Hayman ("Joan of Arcadia").

It's a good series, really. It's ABC's new hit here in the US. I just don't watch it because it conflicts with my fix of My Name Is Earl and The Office on NBC.

[texbex]

I think its quite funny and shes a fantastic actress I think I might dress up as her for one occasion haha

[BB-Rocks]

It was good last Friday. Im a bit late on commenting on this but i havnt been posting this much this week. I dont like Betty's boyfriend. I know he isn't a major character or anything but he always seems to be their to mess things up for betty and is always their when you dont want him their:laugh:

[Sam]

Ive already watched the whole series so far, i thought the first episodes were really boring but as you got into it , it grows on you

:shocked: How have you seen the whole series?

[Sophii3x]

Last week's was good. I don't understand all this Fey buisness.
I like Justin's dad, he seems really nice. Should be funny next week, because I think he realises that Justin is very camp.

SPOILER!!
BETTY is about to get ugly with her pretty sister Hilda.

Betty (America Ferrera) hires her to help at a fashion show but Hilda ends up snogging boss Daniel. The sisters have a row and Betty ends up firing her in the Channel 4 hit next month.

[Emilee]

Ow wow sounds good. Thanks for the info soph!

[MarkWaldorf]

I haven't watched this in ages. It got boring.

[GiRTh]

I watched this for the first time on Friday. I liked it. I particularly like the gay kid.

[BB-Rocks]

*Reminder its on right now:wink:*

[Emilee]

LOL I dont want bettys dad to be arrested.. wonder if shes gonna take the new job??

[Sophii3x]

I loved last nights episode!

Daniel and Sophia:lovedup:

[BB-Rocks]

Last night was great. Wonder what happen to Betty's dad. o0o and we saw she kisses that geeky dude next week:whistle:

[Sophii3x]

I hope the dad doesn't go back to Mexico:sad:

And yea! I saw her kissing that boy.. slut:bored:

[BB-Rocks]

LMAO Betty a slut:laugh2: Isnt she still going out with the other geeky guy though?

[Sophii3x]

Yea I know! That's what I thought. She's turning into Daniel.:nono:

Mabe her and Daniel might end getting together. I doubt it though...:laugh:

[Sophii3x]

No way! Sophia is the only one for him, they are soo cute together:love:

[BB-Rocks]

Isnt she getting married to someone else .. or did they get back together at the end? I watched it all last night and i forget already:hugesmile::blush2:

[Sophii3x]

I think Daniel proposes to Sophia next week. So maybe she split up with Hunter.

[BB-Rocks]

o0o. I dont really like her to be honest:tongue: *Hides*

[Sophii3x]

*shoots Davie*

I do:hugesmile:
I love her accent

[BB-Rocks]

Is that all you like about her then?:laugh2:

I like the girl with the blonde hair in the office, dont know her name she always flirts with Daniel.

[Sophii3x]

No LOL!! I just think she's a good character.
Yea.. that bitch is called Amanda, I can't stand her:mad:

[Emilee]

Dont you think justin is just the cutest thing ever!!!!
hes so camp! I love him! favourite character! :cheer2:

[Sophii3x]

I love Justin! He's hilarious.
I also like his dad, I hope he comes back.:hugesmile:

Umm.. Henry!:hugesmile:

[TheManInNowhere]

Neither!

Daniel is her best match :bigsmile::bigsmile::bigsmile:

He just doesn't know it yet. I do see it happening in another series though, but definitely not this first series!

[Bubs]

I think it is gonna end up being Henry, Walter is not suited to her new life!! Her and Daniel will never happen either wayyyy too predictable and they are more like brother and sister in the way they care about each other. I mean they care about one another in a not fancy one another kind of way!!

[*M*a*TT*H*ew*]

There will not be a new episode of Ugly Betty tomorrow at 9.00pm because of Comic Relief, which will damage its ratings. So, from 8.00pm to 10.00pm, Channel 4 will be showing 3 recent episodes of UB instead, with the brand new episode airing next Friday at 9.00pm.
But the Ratings for Ugly Betty have been quite fair, similar to those of Friends:

Episode 1: 4.5 million
Episode 2: 3.2 million
Episode 3: 4.9 million
Episode 4: 3.8 million
Episode 5: 3.1 million
Episode 6: 3.1 million
Episode 7: 2.9 million
Episode 8: 3.0 million
Episode 9: 2.7 million
Episode 10: 2.5 million
Series Average: 3.4 million

[Tom4784]

I was so shocked while watching UB on friday! What a cow Sofia turned out to be, It's a shame I liked her.

I think Wilhemina, Justin and Amanda are the best characters, they have soem great lines and moments.

[MarkWaldorf]

I watched for the first time in ages and it was really good. I'll deffo watch next weeks.

[GiRTh]

I find myself watching the first half then tuning out after about 30 minutes. I think each episode is at least 20 minutes too long.

[BB-Rocks]

Last in the series on Friday.
