Anyone else catch this show? I'm guessing you did, as it got 16.1 million viewers vs. Survivor's 16.5 million.
It's campy...very much so. It's cute. Very much so.
I liked the premiere and although it is too neat and cliched and silly, I found myself laughing and smiling a lot. America Ferrara's acting nails the show completely.
I'll be watching the next 4-5 eps to see where it goes...but it is different and interesting.
I'm curious to how others see it.
Warning....it's an EXTREMELY over the top show, given its columbian tella-novella roots. But America's acting and character are awesome.
I'll have to watch Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants now to see her un-Bettified.

I still like this show, if only for America who totally makes it interesting. It's really not my kind of show, but I have a grin the whole time with it. It's totally cheesy, but when you acknowledge you are being cheesy and aren't trying to be serious I can accept the cheese factor.

She'll appear in three more episodes throughout the month of November.
Hayek will play Sofia Reyes, a newcomer to the Mode scene who will leave a lasting impression on Daniel Meade (Eric Mabius) and Betty Suarez (America Ferrera).
"Ugly Betty" stars America Ferrera as Betty Suarez, Eric Mabius as Daniel Meade, Alan Dale as Bradford Meade, Tony Plana as Ignacio, Ana Ortiz as Hilda, Ashley Jensen as Christina, Becki Newton as Amanda, Mark Indelicato as Justin and Vanessa Williams as Wilhelmina Slater.

Really good first season of this show. I totally dig its vibe and silliness. Finale was great and all the story lines are hanging. The addition of Rebbeca Romijn was the icing on the cake for me here.
I'm excited for next season...Mark and Amanda are great, they are all great.
Spoiler:
So, is Bradford Amanda's dad if Faye is her mom? They had that affair for many, many years. And if so, that makes her half-sister to Daniel and Alexis...and if so, that means Daniel was tagging his half sister...ewww.

Oh, wow. I'm actually very excited for this show. As much so as some others...not as much as Office and Lost and FNL, but pretty much more than everything else.
You go, Betty!
