It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

How sad is this?

Fantastic!

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Ugly Betty is one of my all-time favorite shows, the first season is still one of my favorite seasons, and in my opinion one of the best seasons of television ever produced. The way it blended telenovela sensibilities with the American sitcom was genius. I think the show is extremely underrated, by audiences and critics alike. The user score here is a testament to that, and while Ugly Betty might not be everyone's cup of tea it accomplished most of what it set out to do, and it did it well. Although I think the first season and a half are excellent, near perfect television, the show floundered a bit in its third season, where a new locale and crew changed the tone and a post-writers strike group of writers took the series into new, and sometimes bizarre territory. I must say that Patricia Field taking over costumes from Eduardo Castro was extremely noticeable, and the quality was still high, but the show never matched its soap opera antics of its first season, instead it become a lighter family comedy with some dramatic elements thrown in, and it still worked.The thing that amazes me every time I rewatch the show is how timeless it feels, how groundbreaking it was, and how it paved the way for so many shows, and originated so many trends. I don't think Ugly Betty truly gets enough credit for what it did, blending comedy, drama, heartfelt storylines with grittier elements, transgender storylines and gay youth representation, in a show centered on a Mexican-American family no less. Today there are shows like Pose, where the cast is made up of mainly transwomen, shows like Jane the Virgin that feature telenovela storytelling mixed with comedy, and a noticeable trend in sitcoms to feature more long arc story structure and greater continuity, all while including some more dramatic elements. At the time of its release, Ugly Betty was a contemporary to The Office, 30 Rock, Glee and other mainstream sitcoms that kept the tone light and the stakes lower. Meanwhile, Ugly Betty wasn't afraid to feature surreal moments and serious stories about coming out, murder and alcoholism. Ugly Betty will forever be one of my favorite shows. And although it's never gotten the credit it deserves, its influence lives on in the risks taken by the shows that came after it, and the people who were touched by it.

Ugly Betty lasted only 4 seasons, but a great 4 seasons they were. This show is truly heartwarming and funny. The characters, the story lines and the atmosphere get you hooked from the first episode you watch. I have not fell in love with a show so much. The writer's definitely know what they are doing. The characters are so lovable, it's like they're part of your family. You'd want to watch this show every week. I recommend this show if you like shows like Glee, Drop Dead Diva and Desperate Housewives.Ugly Betty tells the story of an adorable and confident girl named Betty Suarez. She dares to go where not that many people would not...working in a top-rated fashion magazine. Now, she's showing everyone who's boss and in this show, you Betty believe in miracles!

I always look forward to watching Ugly Betty every week, it's my top favorite show on television. Everything about is so inspiring and i love it that it's in New York. I love the message it is sending to everyone. That it's okay to be yourself and to follow your dreams. Ugly Betty has the best cast, everyone in it is so amazing, funny, beautiful and multi-talented. Love the characters especially Wilhelmina, love the drama and all of the locations are beautiful. The soundtrack is awesome. I love the witty dialog, the one-liners are completely hilarious, the mode's offices are so cool, i would love to work there. The acting, i don't know what to say about it because it leaves me speechless. The acting is that good, everybody does an incredible job as all of their characters. Ugly Betty is the best show on television without a doubt and it will go far with all the changes in season four. So far i am loving season four and i am huge Ugly Betty fan. It's amazing, watch it. I would give it a 10/10 rating.

ABC family was hosting a marathon of season 1 of Ugly Betty right after the 2007 Emmys. It was a Saturday, so flipping through the channels I decided to try this show. Let me tell you, I am glad I did. This is my favorite currently airing show. We all can relate to Betty in different ways. If its not fitting in or torn between 2 guys.All I can say is that you should watch this show. It has a bit of everything. It may seem like a drama at the beginning but the situations are just and thats what makes it amazing.Just watch and see for yourself how satisfying this show is. I hope it wins big at the emmys and golden globes. (By the way America Ferrara is amazing)
