  • Ugly Betty has a lot of comedy. Even though the plot isn't good, the characters are very funny.

I've seen The Devil Wears Prada, and it does seem like Ugly Betty, but not really.

I've seen all the Ugly Betty episodes, mostly because my mom loves it also, and we've like have a 'bookmark' kind of thing on the show soo everytime its on, we know. xD

I saw the original telenovella show, called Betty LaFeya (sp?) and it was a great show, before the 2nd season that is. DUnno why but the 2nd season kind of disapointed me, the 1st season was more exciting to follow.

But I heard even the president of their country watched it and claimed it was his favorite TV show.


I don't know about the american remake version though. Ugly Betty?
Well, the actress playing Betty seems to get the look right. Gotta watch the real show first to be able to really give any comment about it.

My stepmom really likes Las Fea Mas Bella or whatever it is, but yeah, Ugly Betty is just a remake of another show. LFMA just ended actually, in Mexico last week or something, but yeah, my stepmom decided to talk to me about it. :lol: I don't watch it, because I can't speak spanish, but my stepmom likes it, but she didn't like Ugly Betty, because they really changed it.

The original 'Betty la Fea' *wich was a spanish drama* was great. It was a very different 'novela' from what the latin community was used too. But the english version *Ugly Betty* and the new spanish version *La Fea mas Bella* can't compare to it.

They could had done a much better work with them.

I love this show! The storyline is interesting and I'm wondering where they are going to go with it!

I saw the first 3 episodes
It sorta reminds me of devil in prada
but more of a human kind of way

A remake version is always hard to match up to the original
But you have to think of who are the masses for the new remake?
the masses for the new remake may not like the original series
Even if the original series to others may be fantastic.

This is my favourite tv show. It is sooo funny! XD

momus 04-02-2007 05:04 AM

Ah, this show is cute! It's was first telenovela called "Betty La Fea", which my friend used to watch a lot. Then I guess it got picked up by ABC? I've only seen one episode of the American version, but I like it a lot.

I thought Ugly Betty was really interesting when I first heard about it. The closer the premere episode came, the more excited I was.
So on the night when first episode launched, I just fell in love with it. I thought it was a super cute show. Weeks went past and I watched several episodes thinking it would get better and better. But it kinda went downhill from there and I sort of lost interest in it, sadly. However, the first few episodes were really great though. It's just not the show that would keep me coming back for more, well in my opinion. n_n;;

vampyface69 04-17-2007 06:40 PM

ROSIE 04-18-2007 02:34 AM

Well the only episode I saw, was.........
when Betty's sister applied for a position as a hair stylist, with betty's company...!! It reminded me of how my sister and I treat eachother.

So.....Yes, I do like the show and can't wait till I watch the new season!!

  • That show seems sort of boring so I don't watch it but my mom and sister watch a Spanish version called La Fea mas Bella.

Has anybody noticed that the girl who plays "Ugly Betty" on the show that comes on in the U.S. isn't really ugly? I saw her on the cover of a magazine, and she's not at all ugly. David Spade commented about that on his show. He was like, "So what happens when really ugly people watch this show? Do they think to themselves, 'man, if that's ugly, what am I'?"

I refuse to watch this show.

Morien 05-14-2007 10:50 PM

I think it's a cute show. It's really trying to tell people not to judge by appearances. And the thing with "Fat Carol" really proved that. Fat Carol wasn't fat at all, but people seemed to think she was. It's overly dramatic to the point that some of the more serious parts are very silly. So I enjoy it. I'm not going to flip over it like I do with other shows, but it's a lot of fun.

Pink Geisha 05-14-2007 11:28 PM

Everyone talks about it, and I think its pretty good, but alot of people don't. I guess it depends what you like. Right?

tenkabuto 05-15-2007 01:33 AM

I tried watching it for 10 minutes with an open mind. I felt neutered or something.

And Betty's crew calls her 'skinny carol'. xDDDD

I was really hoping that the plot of Ugly Betty wouldn't be as boxed-in as it's original Mexican base... and I wasn't disappointed in the least. America Ferrera is really good at her role, so it's no surprise to me now that she got an award for that.

DeniedUltraSex 05-16-2007 03:25 AM

Wow, your T.V. is so late.
We're already on the second season here.
Good show though!~
You'll love it. :3

It's too cute.
All I'm going to say is Betty needs to be with Harry!~ >:I
( I think that's his name, lol... >_< )

*precious..Star* 05-16-2007 06:53 PM

paolo433 05-17-2007 12:19 PM

magikjaz 05-28-2007 06:57 PM
