Ugly Betty

Trivia

Adaptation of colombian telenovela Betty la fea

"Betty la fea" has been so successful that it has been either adapted and/or shown in many different countries
1 version: colombian telenovela "Yo soy Betty, la fea" written by Fernando Gaitan
2 version: mexican telenovela "La Fea Más Bella"
3 version: brazilian telenovela "Bela, a Feia"

The show contains a degree of surrealism used to express the inner thoughts of its characters

Production was halted in November 2007 due to the Writers' Strike

Ever since the show's debut, the main characters, especially the title character, have quickly become the latest fixures in the lexicon of pop media culture, and already they found their way onto parodies, news media stories and art-imitating-life situations, as well as recognition from the United States Congress itself

There was an actual fashion publication titled MODE, geared toward plus-size women. The magazine ceased publication in 2001

Number of seasons: 2
Country: United States
Language : English
Original channel : ABC

Guest  - Unrealistic but very sympathetic   |2008-06-21 21:32:18 "Betty's" characters and their behaviour are psychologically totally unbelievable and act against any common sense and instincts, but somehow they capture you. I was in the beginning a kind of sceptical about it but now I wait every week to see what happens to Betty next. My husband forgot to record me "Betty" one week and i was very upset, could not wait for the repeat. The main reason for that is of course Betty herself who is a real centerpiece of this comedy sequel. She is a really warm and charismatic character and I wait her to walk across the screen. My two other favourite characters are Marc and Wilhelmina. They are so funny and evil. However, sometimes I wish their behaviour would be little more realistic. Such as all these important people turning up on Betty's place or Betty letting her boss'es family to take advantage of her beyond any common sense. Also,Betty is obviously very intelligent. So it is very unbelievable that she learns absolutely nothing about dressing smartly. However, I still like it. Waiting for the next sequel. Reply | Quote 0   0
