Betty Suarez is smart, sweet and hard working. The only problem is that she's not thin and beautiful like all her coworkers at Mode, the high-fashion magazine where she works. The only reason the publisher hired her to be his son's secretary, is that he thought Betty was someone who Daniel would never sleep with. Betty's hard work and determination earns Daniel's respect, as she helps him find his way through the shark infested waters of the fashion industry. Ugly Betty is based on a Colombian telenovela "Yo Soy Betty La Fea".
This show is bright, innovative, and extremely clever. It may be a spin
off of a Mexican Soap but hey, if it works, why fix it. The characters
blend so well together and America has proved herself to be a very
talented woman. Two shows I refuse to miss each week, Lost and Ugly
Betty, and now not necessarily in that order. Betty's worries between
her home life and work are what most everyday average person goes
through. She doesn't have weekly life altering occurrences like most
title characters. Betty is not hopping into bed with a new guy every
week like all the other whorish female characters on prime time
television. She just tries to deal with life as it happens which is
what we all try to achieve. I am so very glad that that the producers
took a chance with this show.
