I liked it! I think it was a bit predicatable with the whole "book" storyline, but still good. I'm going to keep watching. Plus, it doesn't hurt that it's on before Grey's Anatomy...LOL.

There's a newer one too that's on univision, "La Fea Mas Bella", that started a few months ago and has the same sort of idea. I love telanovellas. So cheesy. (Plus, it doesn't hurt that I have a thing for Hispanic men  )

I'm going to keep watching as well. My favorite parts were the fight between Hilda the sister and Gina the neighbor, Hilda telling her son to cover his ears, Marc in that orange velour jumpsuit, and the bunny torture pictures.

LOL...that was funny. The funny part about this show is that it's very dramatic but I still like it b/c it's well done. That was classic when Betty brought in her empanadas...LOL

The part with Hilda telling the boy to put on his headphones reminded me too much of "earmuffs" from Old School.

LOL, I did too. I guess empanadas override the smell of lettuce and water, lol.
I enjoy the balance of comedy and drama. The telenovela last night as well as the fashion television show that is shown.
I am looking forward to next week when Betty looks like a Latina Material Girl 2 decades too late, lol.

I missed the tail end of the preview (freaking Tivo) but caught the part where the guys are whistling at her...haha

I watched it for the first time last night and enjoyed it. However, I just saw "The Devil Wears Prada" over the weekend and I kept thinking hmmm this seems familiar....

It is familiar, but Devil Wears Prada was first published in 2003 and the first Betty la fea came out in 1999. (according to Wikipedia) I think they are similar but still not the same story line, especially since DWP focuses on her horrible boss.

Speaking of telenovas, there are some shows on the Hispanic channel that I could get interested in except for the fact that they have no English subtitles. Yet, I can get Spanish subtitles on other stations, lol.
On a side note...other shows on the Spanish stations look totally wierd, i.e., stupid, lol. Kinda like a Hispanic gong show.
There is this preacher who dresses like Liberace and for a long time I couldn't figure out if male or female..know who I mean??
Back to Betty, it's cute and predictable. I did love the women fighting/use headphones scene.
As for next week, okay, in reality, geesh!! I would love to see Cliff and Stacy from What Not to Wear re-do her, lol.

I like the show, but I hope she is not going to be quitting that job EVERY week.
