Ugly Betty. Heeeeeee.

Read the recap of the pilot of Ugly Betty and totally Must Watch Now.

When does it air again? And on what channel?

I mean, the premise is like a dorama (which makes sense since it's based on a telenovela). Now someone needs to uglify Ariel Lin and have Joe Cheng (or Vic Chou) as the boss and we are set for a Taiwanese version.

Thursdays at 8/7c, according to the ABC website.

Saw posters for this on the subway and thought it looked interesting.

Whoa! It's America Ferrera in the titular role, too! I totally didn't recognize her with the glasses and braces and bangs!

Thanks! I guess I'll miss this week's as I don't get TV until Sunday.

Ugly Betty is pretty great!

I really should get some icons for it.

I really want to check it out. Sounds hilarious.

It's a cute show, but I didn't laugh once. But I'm still glad it's around. As much as I love procedurals and those various ongoing mystery show concepts (from Lost to Vanished to Jericho to The Nine to whatever is around), it's really nice to see something with a different format come around. It's like a breath of fresh air.

BTw, before start getting worried that I might like it, which is indication that it might be poison for you, let it be said that I think it's unlikely that I'll keep watching it. Just not my genre and all that :) So, that could be good, right?

Plus you can always watch the Columbian, Mexian, German, Russian or Hindi version of it, if the US version doesn't please you :D

There is a Russian version? Oooooh. Tell.

BTW, wikipedia lists all the versions.

I thought [i]Ugly Betty[/i] was pretty decent, though I wonder how many people unfamiliar with the original show believe it's a ripoff of [i]The Devil Wears Prada[/i]. I saw the original version years ago on Telemundo and seen some of the Mexican version on Univision.

I would love to watch the original, but alas only rudimentary Spanish :)
