Show Summary

  • Ended
Betty Suarez has always had one goal in life: to make it into the publishing business. Despite being smart, hard-working, and productive, her dream has always been shadowed by the fact that she isn't as traditionally beautiful as her cover ready colleagues. But despite it all, she is determined to do whatever it takes to fulfill that ultimate dream.

Ugly Betty stars America Ferrera in the title role. The show is based on the wildly popular Colombian telenovela which has already been successfully translated in Mexico, India, Russia, Greece and Germany - all to stellar ratings.moreless

    "Superb"
    By lukeizea, Jun 21, 2011 Report Abuse
    Ugly Betty is a whitty funny show that captures our hearts in the weirdest ways. It proves itself fierce with the talent and energy, making its mark. The show is fearless itself and dares into the
    controversial and impossible, but this is what makes the show so sparkling in its own right. At times where it may be foolish or dull it manages to lift itself back up with a spring in its step, this has the cast to thank for. Whether storylinges or interactions between characters are weak 'ugly betty' still manages to shine and dazzle. With a strong cast and high drama there aint nothing you would rather watch.moreless

    "Abysmal"
    By BeyonDenim, Nov 04, 2010 Report Abuse
    This show is probably one of the most overrated shows in history, i mean, I tried watching the first 3 episodes and wow, believe me, this was terrible, my cousin owe me big time, i wasted hours watching this, this show is exclusively for fan girls and housewives who enjoys stupidity and some lame romance, and this show was a horrible remake of a show "I love betty la fea" - an original spanish show which they copied. I could give this show a 0 but since I can't it's only fair I give it a 1 - - ABYSMAL!moreless

  • One of the most underrated shows ever.

    "Perfect"
    By greysanatomy12, Sep 14, 2010 Report Abuse
    Ugly Betty is such a great show that is not appreciated at all and it deserves more credit than the one it receives.People dismiss it and they think it's a cliche and that's it's a girl's show.That's completely wrong.I hate when people make quick judgements and judge a book by it's cover.
    Anyway,what i love about this show is that ,even though it sounds cliche it's really not.I find it so innovative and groundbreaking.The storylines are so fresh and filled with mysteries and twists and even though it's the story of a duck turned into a swan it is done so differently and it's not some predictable soap opera.
    Secondly,the characters are top notch and really well-casted.America Ferrera is such an amazing and gifted actress and totally right for the role of Betty.Becki Newton and Michael Urie provide comic relief along with Vanessa Williams as the fashionable receptionist,the gay assistant and the evil career woman.
    Season 1 is a superb season that i like rewatching all the time.Fey Sommers's murder and Alexis Meade's sex change are pretty much the best storylines in the show's history.Definitely the best season of the show.
    Season 2 is not as good as season but it's certainly a great follow-up to the first season.Bradford's death,Wilhelmina's plan to take over the Meade empire and Claire's perfume are wonderful storylines that made the season a lot better.
    Season 3 is a good season but it seemed different than they other two.The show didn't have many ongoing plots,just some individual adventures of Betty.Christina being pushed down the stairs,Lindsay Lohan as Kimmie Keegan,Connor and Betty moving to Manhattan are a few storylines i enjoyed.
    Season 4 is a magnificent season that made up for the third season and it definitely didn't deserve the cancellation.I wish viewers would not give up on a show because of a rough season.Nico's return,Justin's sexuality,Betty being an editor and the series finale are perfect examples of the show's best moments throughout the years.
    To sum up,i think that Ugly Betty is a funny and heartwarming show that deserves more credit.It certainly could have had another season but like most good shows it got axed before it's time.moreless

    Don't tell call her "Ugly" anymore. That's what the series finale taught us when the word disappeared from the screen, leaving only "Betty" as the young latina was walking the streets of London, pretty in pink.
    I will always remember the first time I saw the show. I was stunned. Surprised. In 42 minutes, the writers just showed the hundreds of thousands of other versions of Yo Soy Betty La Fea that THEY knew better. And the rest of the debut of the show was as excellent as the first episodes. Then, came season 2 and season 3. Many people claimed that the show was disappointing, that it couldn't live up to its standards. The reason for that is that THEY themselves set up standards that the show never claimed to reach.
    If anything, Ugly Betty was a entertaining show and remained so throughout its entire run on ABC. No matter what. And America Ferrara (Betty) and Vanessa Williams (Wilhelmina) were...amazing.moreless
