Ugly Betty

Ugly Betty follows the daily life of Betty Suarez, a young woman from a struggling Latino family in Queens, who works as an executive assistant at MODE fashion magazine in Manhattan. Most of her female co-workers are more attractive than she is; they often humiliate and insult her because of her appearance (one of her only friends is Christina McKinney, the Scottish seamstress). Betty is not very interested in fashion and is sometimes clueless about the company's motives and organizations, although she does have a passion for photography. Her boss, the womanizing Daniel Meade, also lacks fashion experience. However, both are intent on performing well at their jobs, even at the expense of those trying to stop them, most prominently Mode's creative director, Wilhelmina Slater.

The series includes a serialized plot involving Daniel's predecessor Fey Sommers, who was supposedly killed in a fiery hit-and-run accident. Fey's name was actually used as the backdrop for a plot to take over the company, thanks to a hospital patient swathed in facial bandages who was actually Daniel's post-operative transsexual brother Alex/Alexis Meade. Alexis was first seen in The Pilot Episode, though she was only known as "The Masked Woman" until the episode "In or Out." Alex staged his death in order to undergo gender reassignment surgery and become Alexis, then frame their father, Bradford Meade, as the person who murdered Fey. In "Brothers", however, Claire Meade, the family matriarch, confessed to Betty that she was Fey's actual murderer. But because Claire (an alcoholic) was drunk at the time of the confession, there has been doubt cast on her story, and the true identity of Fey's murderer remains uncertain.

Another recurring storyline involves Betty's father, Ignacio Suarez, who admitted to coming to the United States as an illegal immigrant which could put his family in a legal bind. He revealed his reason for immigrating was to avoid being arrested in Mexico for murdering a banker in self-defense after falling in love with the banker's abused wife, who happens to be Betty and her sister Hilda Suarez's now deceased mother.

It mostly remains true to the original Betty La Fea. It is similar to another ABC dramedy series, Desperate Housewives, in that it combines elements of drama, comedy, mystery, farce, camp, soap opera, and satire, though in a lighter way. The show is filmed like a traditional network drama (with motion picture film), rather than the videotape production of the original telenovela.

Ugly Betty Comments

Ugly Betty is the cutest character on television today, she is just my absolute favorite.. Clearly the box and the bunny is the greatest episode of Ugly Betty they have made, but I am also a big fan of brothers and in or out.

Four Thanksgivings and a Funeral is my favorite episode, that Betty is really something

Don't Ask, Don't Tell!! It is still fresh in our minds and man is that one excellent episode of Ugly Betty
