Ugly Betty
Ugly Betty
Comedy
Premise: A normal-looking woman has difficulties fitting in in the world of high fashion -- based on the wildly popular telenovela.
First Impressions: "Betty" may have some semblance of a built-in audience, if fans of the Spanish-language "Betty La Fea" are curious about the adaptation. And America Ferrera looks as charming here as she was in "Real Women Have Curves." But the way the clip package was put together, it was sometimes hard to tell when the audience is meant to laugh with her, or at her. That's not a good position to be in for a comedy heroine.
Stars: America Ferrera ("Real Women Have Curves"), Eric Mabius ("Eyes"), Ana Ortiz ("Boston Legal"), Vanessa Williams ("Chicago Hope"), Tony Plana ("24"), Ashley Jensen, Becki Newton ("Charmed"), Mark Indelicato, Alan Dale ("The O.C.")
Studio: Touchstone Television
Producers: Silvio Horta ("Jake 2.0"), Ben Silverman ("The Office"), Salma Hayek ("Frida"), Jose Tamez ("The Maldonado Miracle")
