So Nip/Tuck has a woman putting peanut butter on her tits so that her dog will lick it off to sexually stimulate her. Then in the height of excitement, not sure if it’s the dogs or the woman’s, the dog bites her nipple off. Desperate Housewives has gone the way of shaving the face of a man in a coma. Not to mention another murderer for the ignorant, although HOT, anal republican to get married to. True, my beloved LOST has not yet premiered, but I have seriously almost given up on my mind numbing TV. How many times can LOST recap any way!
Then I saw it. Ugly Betty. And honest to God I fell in love. I had heard all the hype. But they hype all the new shows so I didn’t pay too much attention. I missed the first show, but found it by accident while perusing my recorded shows on the DVR. This show had me at “Nice poncho.” Maybe it’s because I adore the sweetness in people. Maybe I adore it because it seems so rare. Maybe this lesbian is tired of obsessing over beautiful sitcom stars that wouldn’t give her the time of day. Whatever it is, I am hooked. And not the slightest freaked out that the guy who was going to Marry Jenny on The L Word stars in the show. I didn’t think about him mercy fucking her before he left her the last time once.
So if you haven’t checked it out yet, please do so. I promise you won’t be disappointed. And if you are then maybe I really am just really that lonely. In one episode I learned something that I have always tried to keep in my heart. I preface this by stating that these thoughts have been running through my mind for a while now and are not the direct result of ABC finally deciding to air something amazing. The lesson is that a woman can be the most beautiful creature in the entire world. You can look at her and wish to God you could have one night with her. Should you get that night you may learn that she is heartless, selfish, and more into herself than you ever thought she could be. Then there are those women who we simply don’t look at twice. Then we get to know them and they become the most beautiful woman in the world. My heart went out to this character. I am officially a fan.

I totally loved Ugly Betty too and for pretty much the same reasons you mentioned above.
I was caught by the innocence of the character and how she carves out her little niche in the bitchy workplace and always comes out on top eventually. It’s nice to see something like this compared to the usual.
This is, by far, the most consistently enjoyable new show of the season. America Ferrera is awesome. And Salma Hayek’s presence doesn’t hurt either. You had me at “Nice poncho.” LOL.
We haven’t had Ugly Betty shown in Australia yet, but my daughter asked me to get her some ‘stuff’. Can’t find an official “UGLY BETTY MERCHANDISE” web-site. Anybody know who owns the rights?
