Betty the Ugly
Betty the Ugly
This looks like it's going to be such a good show. I can't wait. The trailer had me tearing up a bit.

That looks like it will be a pretty entertaining show! Like you, SOPI_Jawbreaker, I got a little bit teary looking at the trailer.
Betty bears an uncomfortable resemblance to a junior high, pre-contact lenses and nosejob me

This show is based on a telenovella "Betty la Fea" (Betty the Ugly). It was the most popular telenovella from South America. It was broadcast on all the major Spanish-speaking networks. I used to watch it to improve my Spanish. It was a good show. If they can "translate" it for an American audience, people will like it.

I'll definitely be watching this. I like America and Vanessa Williams so I'm hoping the show is good too.
Hugs to KR for being reminded of her pre-pubescent past.

The show looks cute, though!

Can't wait to see this show! Telenovela meets Devil Wears Prada. What's not to like?

I love Ugly Betty already. She's the heroine we're all cheering for!
I thought America fit that character so well. Still, I'm so used to seeing America in younger roles and despite the fact that Betty's obviously an adult woman (she mentioned internships and such), I keep being reminded of someone not really matured yet.
It also brought back memories of a braces and glasses version of me, circa 1993.
And regarding Vanessa Williams..come on. Is she not tired of having roles that require her to be the raging bitch?

I wasn't that into it last night... hoping that it gets a little better, I understand that they have to establish the backstory and all that. I personally thought it was okay, but it didn't really do a lot for me. We'll see how it goes.

Very much reminiscent of Devil Wears Prada but I liked it. Will tune into the next ep.
For those who missed it, it repeats tonight at 7 on ABC Family.

I only watched bits and pieces of the begining as I was cooking dinner, but it was way too close to Devil Wears Prada - I felt like I was watching the TV version of it. And it didn't interest me enough to not switch the channel to watch The Office instead. Maybe I'll try to watch it tonight on ABC Family and see if I take to it.

I enjoyed it. I am just dreading if they try to start a relationship between Betty and her boss. I mean, yeah it would be cute for a few eppisodes maybe, but few shows can live throwugh their main characters getting together.

Jessica from TWOP is recapping it. She gave the first ep an A-
