I liked it. Thought it was amusing. At least as funny as that sit com with Sara Rue, Less Than Perfect. Again - I enjoyed it. It will probably be cancelled. Just like Arrested Development. I'm so underwhelmed with the comedic taste of the general population. Not that Ugly Betty is that good (as AD). I, personally, also miss Joan of Arcadia and Dead Like Me so what do I know? I just pray they keep their hands off The Office, My Name is Earl and, of course, Scrubs. Eh, what can you do?

I enjoy the show. It is camp and way over the top. It isn't a comedy and some of the situations are kind of weird. I feel sorry for Betty because she is trying so hard to be accepted there isn't any way that the people she works with are going to do that right now. Maybe somewhere along the way she'll make more and more friends and finally get the respect she deserves. I think her boss is starting to realize what an asset she is to him and when he comes around she may be accepted in spite of all the office politics.

Ugly Betty is the best new show this fall. I don't think it will get the ax soon, considering the high ratings (#1 for new shows) and its brilliant writing and performances. America Ferrara should win the Emmy. Her gay-in-training little brother Justin is weird but hilarious.

I love America as "ugly" Betty! Unfortunetly, I don't know if the show is going to live to see another season. The "dark side" of the show with the former editor is so over the top and dumb. And I don't get why we see so much of Betty's father's spanish soap opera??? I think the show would be a winner if they cut that all out, keep it to a normal 30-min sitcom, and just focus on Betty and her boss. Whatever happens, I'll watch it till the end. :)

The secondary players are who really carry this show, along with Betty, of course, who is fantastic. Vanessa Williams is hilraiously evil, and Betty's sister and brother are two of the funnier cast members you will ever see. This show is bold on so many levels that ABC has GOT to keep it on the air and give it a fair chance. I strongly advise you to watch. You can catch up by going to ABC's website and watching the first three episodes.

Not only do I watch the show when it airs but on the weekend I go online and watch it again without commercials. Keep up the good work and leave it as it is.

I love Ugly Betty. The characters are well developed and easy to keep up with. Vanessa Williams is just delicious as the "evil queen" and her assistant cracks me up. America is perfect as Betty. She's done her homework. Most of us are not runway/fashion magazine models. We have goofy family members and strange relationships with exes and co-workers. We tolerate our bosses because we really need our jobs. Betty makes the best of every situation. Though difficult in her work environment, she's made friends, she has a family who loves and stands by her and, most importantly, she has a sense of herself that most TV characters lack. I love the show and think it has a lot of potential.

I've seen the spanish verison's of "Ugly Betty".
And I prefer them more than the english verison. "Betty, La Fea" which started it all, had the perfect cast and storyline that Ugly Betty is lacking. "La Fea Mas Bella" (The ugly very pretty)has great comdey and romance. Also most importantly "la Cuatel de la feas" (ugly receptionists club. That one friend Betty has at work is a joke compared to what the producers could of done with the ugly club.
Ugly Betty has it roots and I would hate to see it come undone by writers who haven't seen the many versiones that are out there. Work around what does work and change what doesn't. Don't go for the cheap drama or I'm dead, but I'm really not dead thing.

I hope and pray that the majority of those listed above are some kind of vocal minority. It's SUCH a bad show. Other than the lead actress, not one of the cast members could pull off a decent performance if their lives (or the shows life, for that matter) depended on it. But even the round homely girl can't salvage that absolute wreck of a show. My boyfriend forces me to watch it each week, and I can honestly say that I've cried every episode from start to finish. When the credits start to roll, it's as if I am emerging from a bout of near-suicidal depression. I can just assume that the shows ratings are a result of individuals across America attempting to torture their significant others to death.

This is a mildly entertaining show, so far. As far as its future is concerned, I think it will be this year's Joan of Arcadia. It will get strong ratings for a year and then quickly crash and burn, because it is a one-joke show. The "Betty is an outcast" schtick will get old in a hurry. Very few men will watch this show. It deals with girly subjects, plus men will be frustrated with the whole premise of the show, because Betty is actually a fairly cute girl. Men think "I wouldn't mind going out with Betty" and then have to spend an hour watching people who don't get that. Women will stick around longer but they will get bored soon, too.

I also realize that this is a comedy of sorts, but one question has bothered me since the begining of the show: if Betty and her family are so poor that they can't pay for her father's prescription medication, why does Betty have braces? Has anyone in Hollywood actually priced-out orthdontia work lately?

As far as Vanessa William's character there is always on of those in the Novelas. Git it a try American's. It's brilliant and I'm glad they picked it up for the reset of the season.

For the record, if you missed the first episode, there was a sequence where Betty was doing battle with her father's HMO over his heart medication.

Also, what people are failing to pick up on is the satrical voice of the show, where it deglamorizes the fashion industry and pokes fun at it, just as Desperate Housewives takes dead aim at the mommy myth and suburbian life. Granted, the creative team had to tone everything down to make it more acceptable to American tastes, but if you pick up on the issues the show raised thus far, what you have is a subversive attack on the celebrity culture, of which the fashion industry is part of.

Again, that is the beauty of the serial format, where there are story arcs and threads that continue from show to show. This is used to point out further how Betty (and even her boss) are way over their heads yet are so interdependent on each other to keep their heads above water in that shark-infested environment.

I think there might be some who are looking to a possible coupling of Betty's nephew Justin and Willamina's assistant. I think that in Justin, he may have finally met his match.

Well I personally love ugly betty. It is, it seems, more of a womans shows ... or at least feminine. since it deals with fashion and body image etc. It's cute and fun and well done and really hits home to women who have had any issues with self esteem. The empathy scale between viewers and this character are probably really high.
Of course there does have to be some evolution in ths show. not saying there won't be because only 3 shows have aired so far. but it'sx tricky to deal with betty's image, you dont want her to become a plastic but she cannot stay the same... and of course the romance interests are very important to any tv show. And the intrigue by the boss father and the supposedly dead fashionista.
There is a lot of good stuff going on in this show. we might all be too quick to judge, the show did just come out. i think best is to wait and see. But I personally like it alot and never miss an episode.

Vanessa Williams needs to tone down the "cartoon-like" approach to her character. Also, her assistant.

I hope the show stays on long enough for the improvements to be put in place. It has the makings of a long running sitcom.

There are too many shows on tv that want you to force you to laugh. I love to laugh out loud with Ugly Betty!!!! Not everyone in this world is a size 0 and I love her for her personality, family and caring for her job and life. I hope that they keep it on because I look forward to watching it every week! Go Betty!!!!

Ugly Betty is refreshing and America is truly beatuful in the role. I do feel that more concentration should be placed on Betty's family dynamics. It's important to see more of the cultural aspects of Hispanics who live in the United States. Hispanic culture is very conservative and Betty's nephew's flamboyant nature contrary to how a typical American family would view his behavior. Is Justin's acceptance typical of Hispanic culture? Is Betty's ambition contrary to the role Hispanic women traditionally hold? These are issues the program should address. Hispanics are HUNGRY for television programming that addresses their particular niche. I applaud this effort!
