Dec 28 2006 - 5:59am Anyone who has ever felt awkward or out of place has a friend in
Betty Suarez, the magazine assistant with bad hair, a brace-face and tons of pluck in ABC's
"Ugly Betty." Based on a popular Colombian telenovela, the show combines a sweet "beauty is only skin deep" moral with a campy mystery reminiscent of early
"Desperate Housewives." Here's a rundown of what's happened so far:
Betty at Mode
Queens-bred Betty lands her first job in publishing as the assistant to the editor in chief at Mode, the highest of high-fashion magazines. She makes a splash on her first day when she shows up with her metal braces and gaudy Guadalajara poncho while everyone else is kitted out in Manolos and Marc Jacobs. In addition to being the laughingstock of the skinny, snotty staff, she also learns publishing mogul Bradford Meade has only hired her because he's sure his son Daniel — Mode's new editor in chief — won't sleep with her.

I love Ugly Betty!
1such a cute show
2I've missed many episodes of this show, but what I've seen has always been cute and entertaining.
Thanks for the write-up. It helped me fill in my most glaring pockets of missing information. (And thanks for the link to the online eppys; it is much appreciated.)
**side-note: America Ferrera is far prettier than she is given credit.**
3Question -- if you watch this online, do you have to see the commercials too?
4nope!
5On some of the episodes, you have to watch a 30-second spot every 10 minutes or so from whichever advertiser is sponsoring that episode. A couple of them don't have any advertising at all!
6Great recap, Buzz. Ugly Betty is a great show. And "Betty" is such a positive role model for smart, talented young women. January 4 can't come soon enough.
