UGLY BETTY is BEAUTIFUL!

Hands down, UGLY BETTY on ABC is the BEST NEW SHOW of the season! America Ferrara is an amazing talent and DESERVES any accolades she gets for her brave and brilliant performance as Betty Suarez - who happens to be "beautiful" on the inside and "ugly" on the outside. And I use quotes because beauty and ugly are just subjective labels, and to my eyes some of the ugliest people are the naughty, rude, insensitive "adults" already staffed at the mythical MODE magazine offices. UGLY BETTY is a unique series of eye-candy-addicting set pieces, quirky characters, eclectic songs on a varied soundtrack of pop tunes, electronica and mood-setting orchestrations that play a huge factor in upping the drama for the target of tears or ribbing the funny bone for the target of laughs. And UGLY BETTY does an excellent job of getting both: in one such scene Betty has a dramatic send-off speech to her boss, then turns around and promptly falls on her ass for last-laugh gag that sealed the deal for my New Thusday Night Addiction: UGLY BETTY!
