"GREAT JOB"
A bit of the Colombian Ugly Betty, the original soap opera...a bit of Return to Eden, from Australia, back on the 80's, a great cast, and great humor.

"a really great show"
with a great message underneath all the backstabbing, lying, egotistical models, plotting, and everything else that makes Ugly Betty a truly great show. It also lets people know that it is okay to be who you are and that you don't have to conform to everyone else's opinions or thoughts on you.

The First Season of the show runs the gamut from evil, vindictive and power hungry creative directors plotting with a secret someone to take back control of the Mode magazine. Run currently by Daniel Meade who's late night out short of being fired on a daily basis with his sleeping with just anyone that comes in his office or within his sights. Until Betty Suarez walks into his life as his new assistant that doesnt fit the model, slim and at your whim mode that he's used to. She's actually very good at her job and manages to get Daniel to change (well in some ways at least). All the while dealing with his brother Alex's "death" (you've gotta see that one coming).

Meanwhile Betty is trying to juggle all the things going on with her family at home. Her father's immigration problems, her sister's job crisis and her nephew Justin. Who would fit in perfectly at Mode as he knows all about fashion, musicals and everything else that Betty is pretty clueless about. She's also seeing Walter who she thinks is the one but isnt quite sure on that even though he "wuvs" her very, very much.

Her sister Hilda is dealing with ex coming back into her life and doing what he did best in the past not showing up. But things get a bit better on that road for her as she still struggles to find her own way and niche in life.

I also love the show because of Marc the gay assitant and Amanda well for being herself. It's great to have that in the show and helps draw more folks to a show that might not watch Ugly Betty otherwise and besides. The way they play off of each other is just another added bonus to watch throughout the season.

The season ender "East Side Story" ends on a shocking and traumatic cliffhanger for the Suarez family as a tragedy rocks Hilda, Betty, and Justin. Suffice to say the first season of Ugly Betty is off the hook and is only a slight peek into what i'm sure will be an equally great 2nd Season of a bright and upcoming show.

An excellent show with all the things listed plus a message in it as well. Be who you are and have fun with it no matter what.

"Ugly Betty....Just Beautiful"
"Betty La Fea" the Colombian "telenovela" this show is based on, was a ratings phenomenon. Americanized daughters who would usually poke fun at their Latin moms for watching corny "telenovelas", got hooked along with their moms. "Macho" dads and granddads joined their wives, daughters, and granddaughters, in laughter and sometimes with misty eyes, to watch Betty's travails; night after night.

When I first heard the show was being adapted to an American audience, I was very skeptical. For one, Latin "telenovelas" last one season, with a plot arc that is designed to evolve and be resolved within 9 to 12 months. American TV series can last several years. How can Betty stay ugly for so long without reducing the plot's credibility? Even if she is comfortable with herself, some of the glamour will have to rub off on her. She will at the very least have to stop wearing her most hideous clothes mismatches especially when her best friend at Mode is a fashion designer and can give her a few pointers to improve her image. She will be tempted at some point to be beautified. How will they handle this without making her abandon her true self? and how long will it take for her to do this if the series turns out to have a long run, remains to be seen.

In any case, I will be there for the long haul. I am a total fan. This is a great show, with lots of laugh, and lots of heart. Every actor is incredible in their role. The good guys are adorable, starting with Betty , her boss Daniel, Christina, Betty's family and that incredibly sweet Henry that I am totally rooting for. As far as I'm concerned Betty and he make such a great couple if they ended the series tomorrow with the two of them ending up together, I would be ecstatic. Even though it would be in sharp contrast to the original Betty who ended up with her boss, of course.

The bad guys, are also adorable. So well scripted, definitely mean, but with touching human sides. You know they are "evil" because they've been through some rough stuff in their life and not gratuitously so. I love them as much as I love the good guys. Vanessa Williams is incredible as Wilhemina Slater. Her gay assistant is amazing in his role, and so is Amanda the slutty receptionist, jealous of Betty's position.

Even minor roles, like Ignacio's immigration case worker are a treat to watch.


SPOILER: I was shocked with Santos (Justin's father) being shot in the season finale. I am hoping he is just hurt and not dead.

This is a well-written, well-performed show, that is very funny and that will touch your heart.

Ugly Betty is light, beautifully simple, or better said, simply beautiful.



"Betty's cute"
Slightly cheesey (I mean, really, what did you expect), but incredibly funny!!!! There are some amazing one-liners in these episodes! Fun characters---some that you love, and some that you love to hate. And who can't relate to trying to fit in? Quite a few episodes.

"What a wonderful series!"
First, when is ABC going to bring this WONDERFUL series back to the air?? The writer's strike is over but all ABC can do is bring on two episodes of Lost??? Ack!

OK. So I never watched Ugly Betty during its first-season run. Then a member of my household asked for this as a holiday gift. The whole family fell in love with Betty, Daniel, Ignacio, Wilhelmina and all the other schemers & dreamers at Mode magazine.

And for those of us who do not yet have high-def, digital TVs, it's a real treat to watch the DVD and see all the episodes in over-the-top, sparkling color!

What our customer's say!

"Great", I loved the product. The DVD's were in great condition and they arrived sooner than I expected.

"Can I give it 6 Stars?", A one of a kind series, Ugly Betty, brings to the screen the parallel stories of those found within a New York City based women's fashion magazine's microcosmos.
America Ferrera, Eric Mabius, Salma Hayek, Rebecca Romijn, Vanessa Williams, Michael Urie, Becki Newton, Tony Plana, Ana Ortiz, Mark Indelicato, Ashley Jensen, Christopher Gorham, Judith Light, and the rest of this EXTRAORDINARY cast, have truly outdone themselves with their performances, which are outstanding to say the least. All the actors, without exceptions, give it their 100% and it really shows (the chemistry is AMAZING)! Very well written and very well presented, the series is without a doubt guaranteed to provide more than just a few laughs, not to mention a few tears. The plot has elements of both comedy and drama making it rather difficult to label it as one or the other; it is actually a bit of both. Ugly Betty does a great job of describing people's different personalities, fears, and the problems they face. It is all about human relations, hope, and second chances, but most importantly about trust, love, and inner strength.
There are, however, two (relatively minor) points worth noting:
1) There is an ongoing adult theme (homosexuality) throughout the series not suited for children.
2) Amazon's Jae-Ha Kim whose review for no apparent reason speculates as to the sexuality of one of the actors; the young teenage actor Mark Indelicato! Leave the kid alone!
Nevertheless, that is all insignificant compared to the acting, the setting, the plot (and subplots), the dialogues, and the music, which are just wonderful! It is indeed a rarity when an amazing series such as this comes by.
In short, Ugly Betty is a series definitely worth watching and one to seriously consider adding to your movie collection (if you haven't done so already)! KEEP'EM COMING!!!


"Dont think Just buy!!!!!!!", This is without a doubt one of the if not THE best show ever made. Its certainly the best show i have ever seen. I requested that i could not work thursdays just so i would never miss an episode. Everything about this show is fantastic. Every single character is a joy to watch and there all just so funny. And every episode is simply perfect. There is no such thing as a BAD Ugly Betty episode. So if ur trying to find a new tv show to get into Dont even think about buying another show. U must own Ugly Betty!!!!!!!

"Ugly Betty is beautiful!", I am not a big television person, which is why I did not watch the first season of Ugly Betty while it aired. I've had the DVD box set for ages, but didn't watch it until recently. I watched the original telenovela this show is based on (Betty la Fea), and I wondered if the American version would do it justice. Ugly Betty, like its Colombian counterpart, has proven that a soap opera-ish TV series could be over the top and entertaining and still be well written and clever.

Betty Suarez is a Mexican-American from Queens is fresh out of college, hoping to land a job in magazine publishing. First impressions are not in her favor. She is not an attractive girl (to say the least), but she's got intelligence, wit and an exuberant personality on her side. Unfortunately, Meade Publications' most successful magazine, Mode, is not interested in the aforementioned qualities. It is, after all, a fashion magazine. So imagine Betty's surprise when she does get hired. But she gets hired for the wrong reasons. Bradford Meade (Alan Dale) hires Betty to be his womanizing son Daniel's assistant (Eric Mabius) to keep him concentrating on his work and not on getting into a beautiful secretary's skirt. Upset, Daniel tries to get Betty to quit, but quickly warms up to her sweet disposition. She is the brains and strength behind most of his decisions regarding both his job and personal life, so she soon becomes something of a lifeline for him. Things aren't easy for Betty at Mode. Marc (Michael Urie) and Amanda (Becki Newton), an assistant to the creative director and the receptionist respectively, decide to make Betty's life hell by constantly mocking her. Everyone else seems to find her amusing. She does have friends though. Christina (Ashley Jensen), the magazine's Scottish wardrobe person and Henry (Christopher Gorham), the hot geeky accountant, are always there with and for her. Throw in lots and lots of office politics, a mysterious woman about to make a comeback, an ambitious creative director who will do anything to become Mode's editor-in-chief (Vanessa Williams), murder, intrigue, and immigration issues, and you have yourself one entertaining show.

First let me give props to America Ferrera. She is absolutely adorable as Betty. Though not classically beautiful, America is a very attractive young woman, and it must not be easy to be shown in the most unflattering light week after week. She pulls it off with aplomb though, and the actress succeeds in endearing the character to the audience with her sweetness and cheerfulness. The show is about an ugly girl working in one of the most superficial industries around, but this one girl manages to bring out depth in the shallowest character. Yes, even Willemina (Williams), Marc and Amanda surprise you every now and then. Rebecca Romjin is surprisingly great as "Alexis." She can be ruthless and petty one minute and vulnerable and complex the next. I probably would have picked a better-looking actor to play Daniel, but Mabius is doing a wonderful job. At times, it seems like he's only using Betty, but he truly cares for his underling and sees her more like a friend and confidante than just an assistant. Marc and Amanda remind me of Jack and Karen from Will & Grace, which is fine with me, for I used to love that show. And who can forget the Latin talent on this show? I love Betty's supportive dad Ignacio (Tony Plana), her loud and tacky sister Hilda (Ana Ortiz) and her fashion-savvy, Broadway enthusiast nephew Justin (Mark Indelicato), who is so going to be gay when he grows up. (I crack up when the family watches what is so obvious to me parodies of a Mexican soap opera.) Put all of that together with guest stars like Salma Hayek (also one of the show's executive producers) and Lucy Lu and you've got a winner. There is comedy, intrigue, romance and poignant moments. I absolutely loved the season finale. So many cliffhangers and sad moments. I am so rooting for Betty and Henry. He'd better be back next season. I can't wait to pick up season two. After that, I will definitely be watching season three every week.

* I haven't had the opportunity to check out the DVD extras, but I look forward to watching the interviews and listening to the commentary. *

"Ugly Betty - a show that is both entertaining and refreshingly different", Ugly Betty, Season 1, is a fantastic TV show. It's different from a lot of shows that one can view on television. The main character, Betty, is unique and lovable. It's hard not to like her. All of the other characters are great as well, especially Wilhelmina Slater, who is the villain of the show.
The special features contained in these DVDs are excellent; there are several featurettes as well as audio commentary on several episodes by the cast and crew. My favorite special feature is the audio commentary; it is great because you get all of this behind-the-scenes insight that you can never get by simply watching the episodes alone.

"great series", I WAS GIVEN THIS DVD FOR CHRSITMAS AND I LOVE IT IT IS FUNNY AND
IT STARS THE WONDERFUL AMERICA FERRERA AND WOULD RECCOMEND IT TO ANYONE WHO SAW THE SERIES ON TV GREAT EXTRAS TOO

"And the Plot Thickens...", "Ugly Betty~The Complete first Season" is the first TV series on DVD, that I have ever purchased sight unseen. Usually I stick to shows, that I have enjoyed in the past and I know will be good on repeat viewings. With the initial price of most DVD box sets, can you blame me? But after hearing about the critical acclaim this show has received, plus that lovely face on the front box, how could I refuse? Well my gamble paid off. After thoroughly enjoying this box set, "Ugly Betty" has now become my favorite series currently being shown on network television.

For those who don't know the comedy/drama, "Ugly Betty" is about a truely aesthetically challenged (braces, glasses and huge eye brows, that Ed Asner would kill for) young woman named Betty Suarez (America Ferrera), who despite all odds gets a job at the ultra-chic, fashion magazine, 'Mode' as the Personal-Assistant to the newly installed, Editor-in-Chief, Daniel Meade (Eric Mabius). Betty becomes Daniel's friend and protector as they stave off numerous, nefarious, soap-operish plots by Daniel's family members and employees at the magazine to dislodge the young and naive editor from his position. The villains include the glamourous, but evil, Creative Director, Wilhemina Slater (Venessa Williams), her brown nosing, assistant, Marc St. James (Michael Urie) and the catty receptionist, Amanda (Becki Newton). On top of this Betty must also deal with the trials and tribulations of her Mexican-American family which includes her father (Tony Plana), pushy sister Hilda (Ana Ortiz) and teenage nephew, Justin (Mark Indelicato) who live in a cozy household in Queens.

The above discription just scatches the surface of the various soap-operish plotlines, that goes on at 'Mode' magazine and the Suarez/Meade households. But what is so great about this show is that you basically should expect the unexpected. The plots zig & zag. The expectations are that the naive and virtuous, Betty dosn't stand a chance against the cynical and corrupt, plotting vipers, that surround her. But in the end no matter what happens, Betty usually comes out on top (if not emotionally battered and bruised) with her intergrity in place. I love the great writing, smart humor and the well rounded characters that make up this show. Highly recommended!

"WHO'S UGLY!?", This DVD set is great! It's lets you see your Betty without all the commercials! I watched the first 3 DVD's the first night I got it! This was worth every dollar!



"A fun feel-good show!!!", This is such a hilarious show! I love how the characters aren't one dimensional. its one of the greatest comedy I've seen since Friends, and that says a lot! I hope the second season of Ugly Betty continues soon! Just pay those damn writers!

"Charming Betty", As a person who considers any and all television to be a complete waste of time, I am almost ashamed to admit how much I enjoy "Ugly Betty". The colorful personalities are quite overdone but that is part of the charm of the show. As Betty makes a place for herself in a world very unlike her own, she also carves out a place in pop culture for a girl who doesn't look or act like everyone else but is genuinely happy with herself. Most chubby and awkward young women are portrayed in films as introverted misfits who desperately want to become one of the beautiful people ... and then there is Betty, surrounded by glamorous people every day at work and yet remains so at ease with herself that one can not help but love her. American Ferrera is brilliant in this role and I can't wait to see her work in the future.
