'Betty' turns viewers head with brains | October 06, 2006
Who would have thought this season's breakout hit would be based on a telenovela called "Betty la Fea" and star an unattractive girl making it in the world of fashion? Probably no one. Throw in a title change (the series used the literal translation, "Betty the Ugly" on early press materials), and the smart money was on the failure of ABC's "Ugly Betty."
But this is an all-too-rare instance when critics and audiences are in perfect harmony, and the show is as good as they say -- and it proves a few things: Read the rest ...

Ok I guess because I live here in LA and see MANY different types of reviews and stuff, UGLY BETTy was picked as one of, if not THE BEST new show of the year. Whatever sources you have, THEY SUCK !!

I love this show! I thought I wasn't going to get to watch it since it competes with Survivor and The Office and well my dvr can only do the two things at once. But then I caught the pilot on abc.com and made a point to watch episode 2 on another tv with commercials and everything! That is how much I enjoyed this show!

I have watched the show, but I feel like it's too much like "The Devil Wears Prada". That sort of bugs me. But you know, I'm still watching it.
(Hey, let's talk about Podcasts. I would love to hear what ones you are listening to. I'm trying to find some good ones for the shows I like. Can you make some suggestions?!)
