Title: Ugly Betty
Post by: Ookii on September 25, 2008, 07:44:06 AM
Since there is a 90210 thread I figured an Ugly Betty thread was in order.

Who watches??

I watched it in the beginning and it was kind of fun but then I drifted off.  I think Big Brother started or something.  You don't want to say anything.  Really.  I already know.

Well right now Betty has to choose between marrying Henry (which entails moving to Tuscon) or going to Italy with Gio.  The last episode ended with a plane flying away, so we get to see which choice she made!

It's actually in New York this season too!

You know she's going to go to Italy, don't you?  I mean, what sort of insanity would be having a TV show like this  from some daft place like Arizona??? 

No offense.   :grin:

So Betty decided to not go with either of them and instead took a trip across the United States by herself.  When she came back Daniel started working for a Men's Magazine while Wilhelmina took over Mode magazine and was tearing through her budget.  Betty also got a crap apartment downtown and met a cute guy across the hall!

Well, at least she didn't go to Arizona.  I'll have to either pick up the DVDs at some point or catch the show in repeat.  I enjoyed it and I like the look of it.  One of the reasons I think I enjoy that show with the Pie guy (I forget the name) is because of the look.  I wish it was shown via On Demand.  I like On Demand.  It makes life easy and I don't have to try and remember anything.

So you like Pushing Daises and Ugly Betty because they're both very colorful.

Well, that's not the only reason.  They're sort of fantasy-like, both the look and the overall plots.  The stories are entertaining without being very deep or anything.  I don't have to think or sort anything out, just watch.  And they're mostly happy, even when the characters get a wee bit angsty.  I think Pushing Daisies (thanks for remembering) is just gorgeous to look at.  And, well, you know - pie.  (http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/images/smilies/drool.gif)

Oh look.  FIOS just put this on VOD.  I wish they'd have started it over, though.  Maybe they will, eventually.
