"Still one of the best shows on TV", The end of Ugly Betty - The Complete First Season left everything hanging in the air as Henry left for Tucson, Daniel and Alexis got into a possibly-fatal car crash after Alexi paid a hitman to take out Bradford, Wilhelmina and Bradford got engaged, Santos was shot, Claire escaped from jail, Ignacio got sent back to Mexico, and Amanda found out who her mother really was.
The first part of season two wrapped up the loose ends of season one, but introduced new plot elements, some of them just as good as those in season two's preceding season. Betty, Hilda, Daniel and Mark all found themselves with new love interests. Wilhelmina maintained her status as comedic villain extraordinaire as she continued her plan(s) to take over Meade Publications. It's a little over-the-top, but it's all in good fun, and one of the great things about this show is that all the actors seem to have such great chemistry with one another. The only story arc that I had problems with was the Amanda paternity thing--it was very "out there," perhaps not in a good way. But I liked it in that it was handled in the way that Amanda would handle such things--completely clueless, as usual. And as usual, the dialogue is wonderfully witty, and Wilhelmina, Mark, and Amanda remain my favorite characters. The wonderful thing about this season was that it didn't seem to be affected much by the writers' strike.
This five-disc set includes all eighteen episodes of season two, plus the following bonus features: "On Set with the Besties" (Michael Urie and Becki Newton take the viewer on a tour of Mode, with "popup" fun facts about the show's production), "The Suarez Tour" (Mark Indelicato and Tony Plana take the viewer on a tour of the Suarez home), "Wilhelmina Slater: Love to Hate Her" (a tribute to the character), three telenovellas (Las Passiones de Telenovelas, Los Pecados del Corazon, and Assesinato por Muerte), "I Heart Betty" (a tribute to the character), Betty Bloops, and Deleted Scenes. The booklet insert includes an NYC subway map with the locations of the Mode office, the Suarez home, and other important Ugly Betty locations pinpointed on it.
"Can I give it 6 Stars?", A one of a kind series, Ugly Betty, brings to the screen the parallel stories of a group of people working at a New York City women's fashion magazine. Season 2 adds a lot more depth and character development making it even better (if that could ever be possible) than the first season. America Ferrera, Eric Mabius, 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. 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!!!
"Good Stuff", Ugly Betty is a funny, witty kind of comedy. It is satirical and wonderful.
"Excellent Show and DVD!", I didn't get to watch all the discs on the DVD itself but I saw all the episodes of Ugly Betty of season two and have to to say, it is excellent. Right now I'm currently watching season three of Ugly Betty on T.V. That's cool so far too! I have to say things are getting pretty juicy and pretty funny. I can't wait 'til that comes out on DVD too. Hey, even my grandma thinks it's funny. For all of you who love Ugly Betty, buy this DVD along with season one. It's awesome!

"A second helping is better than first.", Hard to believe what a 2nd season makes. We saw Betty at the end of this season with an ultimatum from Gio & Walter. But first,a quick recap; Wilhelmina felled in love with Bradford Meade-and then she cheated with her bodyguard, Dwayne (Vanessa Williams' Ex-Husband Rick Fox). During the wedding ceremony, Amanda breaks out with her own version of Kelis' "MilkShake". Wilhelmina's fiancee suffered a heart attack, collapsed, and then later died. Wilhelmina had another scheme rolled up in her sleeves; she had herself a baby. Then, Amanda performed "Gene $immons is my Daddy" for The KISS frontman; Also, Wilhelmina got into an altercation with Betty White: and finally, Wilhelmina had a confrontation with her sister, Renee. (Played by Michael Michele).
There's so much fun you can handle in one hour of Must-See TV. Maybe we should might call this show, "Ugly Vanessa".
"Love this show~", I rented season 1 to catch up and found myself liking the show so much I had to buy it. I can't wait for season 2. Another example of how much better TV has gotten recently.
"Beautiful Betty", Thursday Night is once again MUST SEE Tv, and it's 8pm Thursday night. This is smart and funny and doesn't loose it's heart. If you have not given this show a peek, pick up season one DVD and see what you have been missing, and you be all ready for season 2 on dvd and to watch season 3 beginging in September.
"A fun Season Two, but huge changes confront Season Three", Warning! Some spoilers contained in the following review!
All in all, Season Two of UGLY BETTY was, like Season One, an utter delight. It certainly was not timid in its story telling, trying to keep true to its roots in telemundo by pushing storylines that beggared credibility, sometimes perhaps crossing the lines of believability, but all in all having a lot of fun.
There were too many plotlines to attempt any summarization, but suffice it to say that if you didn't care for one - and there were some that I definitely didn't care for (primarily Wilhelmina's theft of Bradford Meade's sperm upon his death and then having Christina carry Bradford and Wilhelmina's baby, though secondarily the storyline of having Gene Simmons temporarily feature as Amanda's supposed biological father [like most people I've talked to, I just find anything having to do with Gene Simmons to be more than a little distasteful]) - just wait a week or two and you'd find others you might like instead. That said, the one arc that extended the length of the season was the two men in Betty's life: Henry, who she loves and with whom she continues a romance that is fated to end as soon as his ex-girlfriend Charlie gives birth to their child, and Gio, who is deeply attracted to Betty and tries to engage her interest even while she remains with Henry. Both Christopher Gorham who plays Henry (who I previously loved in JAKE 2.0) and Freddy Rodriguez (who I loved in SIX FEET UNDER) do a great job of making both of their characters really interesting. I found myself wanting Betty to be happy with both of them, though obviously she could only end up with one.
But to be honest, the real appeal of the show lies less in the story arcs, which while good are not particularly outstanding, than in the fine ensemble cast and the great collection of characters. I perpetually found myself less than riveted by what was happening than in whom it was happening to. Ultimately, I think that might be the show's weakness. With its roots in telemundo, the show has an indelible and inescapable frivolity. By its very nature, it lacks any potential to become much more than a nice way to pass time. That being said, it is time that I do enjoy passing.
I am extremely anxious, however, about the show's future. Season Three is going to feature some absolutely massive changes to the show. Shortly after filming concluded on Season Two it was announced that the production was going to relocate to New York City. At the same time it was leaked that Rebecca Romjin, who has been delightful as Daniel's sister/former brother Alexis/Alex, was going to have a greatly lessened involvement in the series in Season Three. To make matters worse, there were rumors that some actors were unwilling to move to New York full time and might have their character's become less central to the story. The most worrying of these is Eric Mabius, who has young children and a home in L.A. After Betty his Daniel Meade is easily one of the most important characters on the show. Having him on less than a full time basis could significantly change the entire texture of the show, and I suspect not for the better. Also, while I believe having the show filmed in the actual city where the action is supposed to take place (though I suspect that the neighborhood in which Betty's house is supposed to be located will continue to be CGI) will be a great boon for the show, I fear that the changes could give it a very different feel from the first two seasons. This could very easily cease to be the show that we've all known and loved.
Fearful or not, I will try to be optimistic. Hopefully the cast will remain more or less intact with the move to New York. I will also hope that the producers reconsider the lessened role for Rebecca Romjin and that Eric Mabius stays with the show fulltime. And I hope that having the possibility of on location shots in New York outweighs any disruption leaving L.A. creates. Season Two ended, as with Season One, with some major cliffhangers, but this year not all of the anticipation was created by the story. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the show remains as much fun as it has been in the past.
"A vente mocha of dramedic goodness!!!", Wasn't this show a big hit in the banana republics years ago? It took Salma Hayek and her proud , firm influences to bring it to American tv. Thank Goddess we have Ms. Hayek to brighten up our dreary American televison landscape by helping those poor poverty ridden writers and producers bring their creations to our shiny country. Some would say she's strip mining the fruits of a simpler culture for her own benefit, but I say she's more like Starbucks! Plus it's nice to see an American show that wasn't written by the Brits first. Anyway you go Salma! You go too, lil' Betty! Cuba Libra!
