"Betty la fea" is a colombian soap opera originally aired several years ago. It became a worldwide hit and a mexican version "La fea mas bella" is currently being aired on Univision. The original was more a comedy than a drama, the mexican version turned even more to the comedy side. Both versions, however, present a weak childish plot and a complete ignorance of what really happens in the world of fashion. I expect Ugly Betty to be more intelligent than her older sisters.

Thanks John. Interesting post!

I did a bit more research and added a bit more trivia on our Ugly Betty page, based on your post.

Thanks again!

Yet another tv show that insists that women must look like fashion models. I guess that ugly betty might be funny if you like jokes about people based upon petty things like natural beauty, etc.

Why in the world would the actresses agree to be in such a disgusting venue!

Ugly Betty sounds like it will be an UGLY series to me!

I'm what my mother would call "pleasingly plump". Others would probably say "chubby". I'm 5 foot 4 inches and weigh 135 pounds so you make up your own word. I don't think i'll have any problem with the show. I live in the real world where unless you're appearance is perfect, there will be some people who treat you poorly. My attitude is that I could go on a diet and get thin but they'll always be jerks! So who cares what they think. People who are less than gorgeous usually do excell in other areas to compensate and it sounds as if Ugly Betty does that in her career. It also sounds like her "hot" boss might get to like her for that and other positive characteristics in the long run. So the show could possibly be good in its treating the Ugly Betty character by showing that beauty is only skin deep.

does anyone know that the name/singer is of the song they play on the radio during the advertisement for ugly betty, greys anatomy and 6degrees?

Thanks!

Note From Admin: We have added the Ugly Betty theme song title, performer's name, and lyrics to our Ugly Betty page.

I loved Ally too. I think this show is making fun of all the superficialness of the fashion world. I unfortunately have a sister-in-law who works at Vogue. I try my best to stay away from her. The last conversation we had, she explained that Vogue has several lines of shoes in the mag, including Nine West. I know that these shoes are usually $100 a pair on average. According to her, these are the "cheapo" shoes. I am so thankfull for this show. I have a hard time coughing up one hundred bucks for a pair of shoes. Hopefully someday women will smarten up and realize they cannot afford the $10K Versace dresses in that mag and there are no decent knockoffs.

The bad news, JazzLover, is that most of us don't have rock hard abs.

But There Is Great News!

ABC has ordered a full season of Ugly Betty episodes! For most series, that's at least 22 episodes, so Ugly Betty isn't going to go anywhere soon!

I'm really picking the winners this season! Both Men in Trees and Ugly Betty made the cut! A show that forces people to look past outside appearances and examine a person for their whole self is just what we need more of on television.

I had a friend last year who didn't want me to be friends with another girl because she wasn't part of our "in" crowd. Now I never considered my friends to be an "in" crowd in the first place. I told her that the only reason the girl wasn't liked by everyone was because she wasn't the most attractive girl in school, but she was really nice and a great friend. She was smart and would be "there" in a minute if you needed her for anything.

My other friend said that didn't matter. That the other "in" people wouldn't want to hang with us if we hung with her. So I kept the good friend and dumped the "in" girl.

I've had no problems at all with anyone else over being her friend. Just the friend I dumped.

Is appearance that important to any of you when choosing a friend? Would you rather have a friend that stands by you or one that's beautiful but cares way more about herself than others?
