In the last couple of weeks, my reviews have all more or less mentioned something about the show losing some of the appeal brought to it by the initial tension that defined Season 1 and 2. I’d like to apologize about that because of course the tension would have to change. Dragging something on and… Read More Review: Ugly Betty, Season 3, Episode 9
Another Thursday evening, another episode of Ugly Betty. I can tell you one great thing about spraining your ankle: since you should be sitting with your ankle up, it gives you a great excuse to do that in front of the TV. For the first time in ages, I’m on top of all my shows.… Read More Review: Ugly Betty, Episode 8, Season 3
What with all this election talk, I almost totally forgot about last night’s episode of Ugly Betty. It had to be totally AH-MAH-ZING to make up for the lack of Heroes this week (Sylar!

Maybe they should just do a spin-off (God save us…). I was wondering if thing lightening up between the Meades and Wilhelmina would… Read More Review: Ugly Betty, Episode 6, Season 3
While the Wilhemina/Daniel and Betty/Kimmie arcs were well-written and hilarious, I was quite disappointed in the Justin/Bully arc (what’s his name, anyhow?). It seemed to lack depth and was way too simplistic. The last thing the Bully tells Justin is ‘Leave me alone’, and the next day at school he’s all nice to him? It… Read More Ugly Betty: Review of Episode 5, Season 3
While I love fashion and Ugly Betty (the two seem forever linked in my mind now…), there are many aspects of both which bother me. First of all, the easy topic. Ugly Betty is a fantastic show about Betty, a young lady from Queens who gets a job as assistant to the editor-in-chief of Mode… Read More Ugly Betty, Vogue & the art of modeling: what is the price to be the Next Top Model?
