Did anyone tune in to see Ugly Betty on ABC? It's such a funny and good series. It's a comedy but at the same time has the mystery/drama elements to it as well. It's so interesting and I can't wait to watch more of it and find out more about the characters, especially that mysterious woman and that guy who owns the MODE magazine company.

OMFG I LOVED IT! HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAA It reminds me of My Name Is Kim Sam Soon. America Ferrera is TOTALLY awesome. I LOVE HER. Eric Mabius (the guy who she works for) is alright, but I'd prefer someone to be hotter

. I'm predicting that he will end up being her love interest..hmm

HAHAHA She's so awesome.

Yes!
I did...
and yeah.. I agree with Chillie, it has so many of the same elements as kim samsoon...
i really am wondering whether kimsamsoon purposely copied the original spanish one in some way...
theres a whole list of them on wikipedia that copied it, but samsoon's not on there....
but yeah.. it was a good show~
maybe i'll adopt it as my weekly tvshow for this season....

. there was nothing else on tv last night so i tuned in to "ugly betty" & im glad i did. it cracked me up everytime she smiled bcos of her braces. i think im in love with this show

. & i agree, i think the guy she works for is going to fall for her.

Is this Betty La Fea, the latin drama? Gosh...i think it is...
so the producer bought the copyright for this drama?

I should have watched. I have been watching Ugly Betty's commercial ALL SUMMER. They had it on for like 10 months. Question WHY IS SHE A MODEL? I always wondered. One guy thought she had potential and hired her? or what?

I like it a lot. It was kind of predictable like some said, but still nevertheless very good. Eric Mabias (Sp?), the actor who plays Daniel is a cutie! I've adopted it as my 8PM show to watch from now on. Greys is after too, so I'm set.

no she's the assistant for a model company.. that's why ppl see similarities with devil wears prada but considering this was a spanish drama i think it came out first dunno

Alice asked the Cheshire Cat `Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?'
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don't much care where--" said Alice.
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat.

This version is soooooooooo much better then the Mexican version called "La Fea mas Bella". I was pleasantly surprised. America Ferrera did a great job. Looks like I'm gonna keep watching this one.

Anyways, I felt so bad for Betty when she was "modeling" and everyone was laughing at her. That was painful to watch. Probably because people REALLY are that cruel in real life and not just on TV.

Looks like it did well in the ratings too! The guy that played Daniel could have been hotter though, but he's alright.

I love this show. It cracked me up. Isn't Salma Hayek the producer and isn't she the one in the lil soap operas they showed through out the show?

I thought that was funny.

so far ... so good. i like America too

Daniel looks like a young Dennis Quaid. Daniel's dad looked familiar and then i remembered ... it's Kirsten's Dad from The OC!!!!
