Ugly Betty: Season 1
The Bettyfied Edition
America is cheering for vibrant overachiever Betty Suarez a.k.a. Ugly Betty, played by America Ferrera (The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants). Winner of two Golden Globes, Ugly Betty received statuettes for Best Television Series, Musical or Comedy and Best Actress in a Television Series, Musical or Comedy for Ferrera. Ugly Betty is the ultimate story of a square peg in a universe of round holes. The bespectacled Betty Suarez is the true beauty in the skin-deep world of high fashion, but she toils as the assistant to dashing womanizer Daniel Meade (Eric Mabius), editor-in-chief of fashion industry bible MODE. Both are newcomers to the ultra-competitive fashion scene, and need to constantly beat back attacks from their jealous enemies— fashion diva Wilhelmina (former Miss America Vanessa Williams), her toadying assistant Marc (Michael Urie) and conniving receptionist Amanda (Becki Newton). Away from the glitz of Manhattan, Betty lives in Queens with her family—her loving father Ignacio (Tony Plana), spitfire sister Hilda (Ana Ortiz) and fashion-obsessed nephew Justin (Mark Indelicato)—who lend her support whenever she is in need.

this is awesome - whatwasis
this is a well put together show. it is a 6 disc series on dvd and not one show should be missed. it reminds me of the old tv soaps that were made for night time watchers like dallas and fallcon crest and so forth. but not all that nastyness that you would see in the night soaps. i liked this show very much the first season so far. there were some slow areas but you will see the pace pick up very quickly again. i dont do this very often but i thought this show deserves some praise awesome.Feel Good Show - freshy360
And you thought they were all gone. This first season delivers humor, family values, and great characters. The plot remains interesting, as the characters journey through the fashion magazine world, and the world in general. Discovering truths, finding themselves, and learning lessons. By far, one of my favorite series out there!Not so ugly - chnoodle
This is the cutest, most heartwarming television show that I've seen in a while. The concept is endearing and the story lines a little silly but the whole thing is put together very well. The very large cast is appealing and engaging topped with a fantastic America Ferrera. I really thought that the hype was just that; hype but was pleasantly surprised.
