Ugly Betty Isn’t So Ugly After All

“What is it that is so charming about ABC’s Ugly Betty? Is it that its star, the sincere America Ferrera is too adorable to resist, despite the show’s ironic title? Is it that we so very rarely see a Latina heading up a prime time television series, and thus, we want to like it? Or is it that, like all hit shows on TV, something about it just works?

Ugly Betty has gotten off to a promising start, ratings wise. If its numbers continue to rise, there will be a new trend in prime time. And, frankly, it’s about time something fresh broke through the membrane of crime shows, reality shows and talk shows. Ugly Betty, bring it on.”
