Ugly is the New Black
Ugly Betty
I just caught up with this show yesterday and now I see what all the fuss is about. It really is funny and it's still just based off of an old concept. The ugly duckli
ng is really a swan. I do hope that Betty becomes a swan one day though. A least a little bit. You'd think that some of the high fashion world would have to rub off on her even a little bit. But so far so good!
Betty just does her own thing and really doesn't care much about what others think. There is an underlying plot of Wilhelmina plotting behind the scenes with a mysteriously cloaked Fey (who used to work for MODE magazine but faked her death) to take over the company from Daniel, the son of the owner of Meade publications. In each show, something "disasterous" happens where the company will surely fall into Wilhelmina's hands and then, of course, Betty comes to the rescue.
The writing is actually pretty brilliant and funny and it'll be interesting to see how this show continues. The audience still has a lot of questions to be answered so we can watch for that as well as see Betty stumble her way through the pressure and stereotypes of the fashion world. I think this show is a great pick-me-up for Thursday night TV. And why not watch a little humor before the angst and drama of Grey's Anatomy or The O.C. at 9:00.
