Ugly Betty
 
Great show. Liked the cast and writing. Hope it can hold up. Thoughts?

I also liked it. Lots of classic scenes. I also hope it can hold up. Looking forward to next week's expisode.

I wanted to watch this, but they are in a terrible timeslot for my purposes.

Heat 09-28-06 10:21 PM

Arrgh, I thought it started at 8pm CDT. It was 7pm. Oh well, hopefully they re-air the premier at some point.

I used to watch portions of "Betty la Fea", it really was a great show, glad to see it make the jump to English.

You all know that this Ugly Betty is based on a Spanish soap Opera called "Betty de la Fea" right? :D

I am looking forward to next week's episode!

cancellation mid-october me thinks

It was okay, a little too formulaic, but it's hard to resist that big goofy smile loaded with a mouthful of braces. There are lot more ugly betties than pretty veronica's out there who'll tune in, so I suspect it'll stick around this season.

Pilot will be repeated Friday night at 7PM on the ABC Family Channel.
I'll be interested in seeing the ratings and expect it to take some of the
Survivor audience.

Man, I wish you didn't point that out. I'm going to have to watch it out of morbid curiousity now. I have seen the glowing mainstream reviews and the scathing reviews from sources that more accurately reflect my taste in TV. For whatever reason, I have this vision that the people who will love this show are the same people who kept Good Morning Miami or Veronica's Closet going as long as they did.

I liked it a lot and America is terrific. it reminded me of Early Desperate Housewives before it went off the rails. Has the same dramedy thing going on.

Ugly according to Hollywood:

Pretty Girl + Glasses = OH MY GOD THE HORROR!

-rolleyes-

Patman 09-29-06 08:50 AM

You have to admit, Betty in the red pleather in that layout shoot was pretty horrific!

superdeluxe 09-29-06 09:36 AM

Was pretty good for a pilot. its devil wears prada on the tv.

Class. And the dual tuner likes its Survivor, Office, and Earl.

MrX 09-29-06 11:08 AM

I liked it. America Ferrera was great

Looks like ABC may have another hit on their hands


The premiere of the critically hailed "Ugly Betty" scored a 10.7/17 for ABC at 8 p.m. "Survivor: Cook Islands," 9.6/15, was second in households for CBS but won the hour in viewers and adults 18-49. "My Name Is Earl," 5.2/8, and "The Office," 4.8/7, were a distant third for NBC. FOX came in fourth with two episodes of "'Til Death." The sixth-season premiere of "Smallville" delivered a 2.9/5 for The CW.

Same here. I am not home at that time so I tivo My Name is Earl and The Office and Smallville.
Saw part of it at the gym but that had no sound.
Sad that more people are watching Suvivor than NBC.

MrE 09-29-06 01:12 PM

Not bad. I hope they keep the edginess and lose the sappy tendencies ... Unfortunately most shows go the other way.

guywall 09-29-06 01:52 PM

Liked it. Felt like I was watching a movie. I just wonder how long they can keep the show going...

The ABC Family channel will be showing it tonight at 7.

Red Dog 09-29-06 10:01 PM

Not bad, but given the reviews of the pilot, I was expecting the greatest thing since Aaron Sorkin slicing bread.
