Ugly Betty

By Bob Sassone Here's another tidbit: Ugly Betty star Eric Mabius auditioned for the role of Peter Petrelli on Heroes. It's not really clear whether he didn't get the role because Milo Ventimiglia got it or if producers of Ugly Betty grabbed him for the role of Daniel Meade before Heroes producers could s...

By Allison Waldman Well, things might be changing for the better for Betty -- like her gradual on screen makeover. With the cancellation of Eastwick, ABC has confirmed to AfterElton.com that Ugly Betty will move to Wednesday at 10 p.m. It won't happen right away, but if ABC is smart, the sooner they can shift East...

By Allison Waldman Like a stray dog that works his way into your heart, I think I've fallen in love with The Middle. I didn't want to get so attached, because -- quite frankly -- ABC's track record for sticking with quality shows isn't so great. I'm still mourning Pushing Daisies. But The Middle is nothing like Pus...

 CA Ugly Betty has just wrapped up its latest season, and I feel like there are some matters that need to be addressed before they move forward. A lot of things about the last season have confused me. Like, was Daniel's dangerously painful singing ...

By Erin Martell S02E18) After all the hype surrounding the Lindsay Lohan appearance, I was expecting more than a brief flashback that explained Betty's hatred of sports. Even the little French kid had more screen time! It would be one thing if Lohan was introduced briefly midseason and continued to make...

By Richard Keller As AOL Television continues their look at the 50 Best TV Comedies -- Ever with numbers 40-31, we here at TV Squad are also looking at them as well, but in a different light. Last week, we took a look at the top ten sitcom sidekicks. This time around we look at the stars of these shows. In particular,...

By Erin Martell This announcement does impact Lost's current run, however. Instead of airing all eight pre-strike episodes in a row, the plan is for the show to take a month-long break after Episode Seven. Apparently the producers felt that this was a better way to separate each block of episodes. The first...

By Erin Martell S02E13) It might not have been an official season finale (a faux-nale?), but this week's Ugly Betty could be the last one we see for a very long time. I miss the show already. So many issues are up in the air! What will happen with the Henry-Betty-Gio triangle? Will Wili's baby scheme succeed? I...

By Erin Martell S02E11) Many weeks ago (man, it's been a while since we've had a new episode) I shared my dream of a Dixie Carter-Vanessa Williams showdown. This week, Amanda visited a psychic played by another Designing Women cast member, the wonderful Annie Potts. So close! It's great to have Ugly Betty b...

By Erin Martell S02E09) Thanks to the Medusa X virus, Wilhelmina Slater nearly changed Mode and Ugly Betty forever. Wili's plans for Slater magazine didn't come to fruition this week, but something tells me that she won't stop trying to destroy Mode. While Wili was busy trying to get money from her father,...

By Erin Martell S02E07) This week's Ugly Betty was all about the lavish, star-studded Brad-elmina wedding. Fashion guru Vera Wang was on hand for Wilhelmina's final dress fitting, and Posh herself nearly stole the spotlight from poor Wili. Back in Queens, Ignacio was preparing for a ceremony of his own. T...

By Richard Keller Thirty shows were chosen for their fall TV scorecard and range from long-running shows such as CSI and ER to fresh out of the box programs like Pushing Daisies and Private Practice. The highest marks go out to House, which has reinvented itself this season with a set of new doctors for Greg Ho...

By Erin Martell S02E05) Love was in the air, courtesy of Ugly Betty's newest phony website, bachelosity.com. Betty found a date, Amanda found a new way to tease Betty, and someone from Christina's past found her. Even Marc found romance! While some characters made significant progress, others (thankful...

By Erin Martell S02E01) Betty's back! The season premiere was an excellent bookend to last season's finale. While the finale ended on a sad note, tonight's premiere let the characters confront their problems and look ahead to the future. This episode was all about letting go of the past and starting fresh...

By Richard Keller Take a look at the image of Ugly Betty's America Ferrera from the cover of October's Glamour magazine. Many reports are saying that America's head has been sloppily pasted to a thinner woman's body. From the most recent image of America on the left, it certainly looks like a digital imaging h...

By Julia Ward I was far less impressed with the direction of two other characters this week - Ignacio and Alexis. Thank you, Ugly Betty, for dramatizing the immigration process. It's been real, but let's ditch the ankle bracelet. It's worth a couple of jokes, but that's it. Give Ignacio a real love interest...

By Julia Ward S01E17) Here's the formula for a great Ugly Betty episode - let Wilhelmina be bitchy, let Marc and Amanda be campy and send one of the Manhattanites to Queens to have a fish-out-of-water bonding experience with Betty. Throw in a little geek chemistry, and you've got yourself one shiny Bett...

By Joel Keller Filed under: Other Comedy Shows, ABC, OpEd, Ugly BettyI'm probably one of the few Ugly Betty watchers who thought that America Ferrera looked cute in her Betty getup from day one.

Tonight's theme - "it's complicated." I ended my review last week by saying this, but I think it bears r...

By Joel Keller Many people have already noticed that Becki Newton, who plays the mean-but-vulnerable receptionist Amanda on Ugly Betty, plays a waitress on an Olive Garden commercial that's currently in pretty heavy rotation across the dial (heck, the ad was shown during a Betty episode where Newto...

By Julia Ward Filed under: Other Drama Shows, Other Comedy Shows, ABC, OpEd, Ugly Betty(S01E15) This show wows me on so many levels - the humor, the subversion, the eye candy, the emotional pay-offs, but damn, the writing - on a structural level - is so freaking good. This may have been the best episode of...

By Julia Ward Let's start with the funny. Now, I love a "seeing eye gay" joke as much as the next person, but I swear the writers only blinded Wilhelmina so they could write "...a duck quacking off in my face." I was thrilled, however, to see Justin subbing for Marc. (Or is it Jason? "It's Justin, but you can call me...

By Julia Ward Amanda has realigned with Team Wilhelmina, and Christina has crossed over to the dark side for the moment. If only poor Daniel and Betty knew what they were about to come up against. Betty is so innocent, and Daniel is so earnest. Neither of them seem to have a clue that trouble is brewing.

By Joel Keller Wilhelmina trashes Betty in the form of trashing Daniel's redesign; essentially, you can change things and end up making them worse. The results of that were a little Sitcommy... Betty refuses to go to the lunch with Bianchi, so Amanda goes instead, playing a version of Betty that doesn't eat...
