Ugly...Is In!! (In Television anyway)


If you haven’t seen Ugly Betty, you’d really better start tuning in. You can actually watch all of the episodes in their entirety on abc.com right now, so check, check it out! It’s definitely one of the best new shows on television. The script is extremely witty and smart so I like die laughing every time. My favorite moment happened on the Thanksgiving episode when two of the characters start singing “Dreamgirls” in designer gowns. I almost died, it was two of my fave things are once…Ugly Betty AND Dreamgirls! The filming is also rather different and interesting, which is pretty refreshing to see. They use a lot of space in the shots and play with depth and color palettes frequently. All of the humor has a mystery underlying it all, but the mystery seems really forced and stupid, which would be my only real critique of the show. I also don’t know where the show is headed, since a lot changed in the last episode before the winter break. I can’t wait for more!! The critics agree as well and the show is up for (and favored to win) two golden globes. Check out : http://theenvelope.latimes.com/columnists/env-buzzmeter-iframe-index,0,2003329.htmlstory if you want to read more buzz about the golden globes. We shall see if it wins Best Comedy Series or Best Actress in a Comedy series for America Ferrera!

Great post, great show, just wait: they are supposed to reveal just who the woman in bandages is next week and it is said to be a 'television first' in terms of plot. That said, allow me to play fairy blogfather for a second and suggest a few additions to your flourishing site:
* a blogroll - list of websites you read
* a site counter - so you can see who reads your blog and what they read it for
* contact info - so you can get feedback directly from your readers and they can see your pretty face
* an RSS feed - so that interested readers can get your posts delivered to their newsreader or inbox
* a search function - so that, as your blog gets bigger, you can search it to find all the posts about a particular topic.

Keep up the good work! :)
