Saundra Member Registered: 11/18/05 Posts: 1796 Loc: Daytona Beach, Florida	There's been a lot of talk about this show set in the fashion industry. I still don't like the title because it's negative, but I love the show. How many women are afraid to go for their dream because they don't think they look good enough and are afraid they won't be accepted? Betty got her chance by accident and she took it. She perseveres and gains the respect of her boss if no one else at work, yet. I see a great deal of truth in the writing and have related with this character. It's on Thursdays, 8:00PM, ABC. Check it out. _________________________ What I know for sure is that it's all connected. Saundra Goodman Got Teeth? A Survivor's Guide www.gotteethguide.com for your Free Tips

Its sad too because Betty is a sweet girl and is going to be the teacher of many lessons to her coworkers but the name is just wrong! I agree about all the cop and lawyer shows, although I am addicted to Boston Legal and several others. _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

Pam R. Member Registered: 03/10/06 Posts: 404	I totally agree with you Chatty on the "ugly" title of Ugly Betty. In my mind, it should simply be unacceptable. How horrible to call anyone ugly. And putting braces on her gives the image that they add to her ugliness. How terrible. How many young teens and even older are struggling with wearing braces and now equate themselves to being ugly. What the heck is wrong with those writers and producers? Oh right, I forgot...money talks. _________________________ Pam

I watch MNIE last week and laughed so hard tears were rolling down my face. It was the episode where his ex-wife stole a truck. This week is wasn't even funny. More than likely, I won't watch it again. Anyway, I think the networks are striving and conniving to find anything NEW that they can. They need to visit the Hallmark channel and take some clues.... _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	I've watched Ugly Betty a couple times and like it. I love cheering for the under-dog and she definitely is one. There are some great messages about the the working environment in the United States today - very sad, but true. Wouldn't it be great if it taught people to look beneath the surface? She is so genuine. You've gotta love her. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	"She us so genuine you gotta love her," is what Dotsie said and she's right, she is BUT why is that surprising? The comment brought to mind the fact that a person is judged by their looks, ugly or beautiful, and people seem surprised when they are genuine, nice, amusing or anything positive. Its as if beauty or uglyness makes one exempt (in our thinking) from normalness. Does that make sense? _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

diamond50 Member Registered: 01/10/06 Posts: 992 Loc: Honolulu, Hawaii	Dotsie, I root for her too! The show is what it is, but I think it does teach some to look beneath the surface. I enjoy the little side stories...about her dad, her boyfriend.... her sister and Herbalux LOL!! We DVR it because it airs at the same time as Survivor, which I will not miss lol. _________________________ Cenn on FB

Saundra Member Registered: 11/18/05 Posts: 1796 Loc: Daytona Beach, Florida	Betty's father killed his wife's first husband because he abused her. Betty's father was their chef in Mexico and fell in love with the woman. He used a dead person's SS# and never applied for citizenship because he was afraid they would send him back. It's a great plot line and I may be too involved... _________________________ What I know for sure is that it's all connected. Saundra Goodman Got Teeth?
