timgOct 20, 2006A show whose premise is that the ugly and the poor really are the wisest ones. (and, of couse, only they have hearts of gold) and the weathy and attractive are either evil and manipulative or feckless in some other way.

jnSep 29, 2006Wow, the critics have never been more wrong. Every character is a stereotype of either the fashion world or something straight out of Princess Diaries kind of crap. It's not funny and hardly charming. Each step is more predictable than the previous one. This just wasn't good at all.

SigridMSep 30, 2006I totally disagree with the critics! This show was stolen from Devil Wears Prada and it lacks all the class and humor of that movie.

GabrielSJan 16, 2007The show is full of the dumbest cliches and why does every punchline has to be flooded with sound effects or music guided comedy? Or characterization is horrendous. Where did these "actors" get their personas? from watching even worse soap operas on spanish television?

LeahOct 30, 2006The televised equivalent of poking a stick in one's eye, this show is only good for those requiring a preaching-to on the virtues of the cosmetically unattractive---and a reminder that attractive souls are evil, spiteful, petty, or manipulative. Worth running screaming in the opposite direction of.

margaretSep 29, 2006WOW- at a time when anti-bullying and increased youth aggression are becoming buzzwords in parent magazines and school meetings- here we have a new show that promotes taunting, teasing, and "sizing up" based on how a person looks. Even worse -all that done by adults. Appalling. This is not entertainment. I urge viewers to question what they are laughing at!

[Anonymous]Jan 18, 2007Most overrated show of the last year. Unrelatable characters and cookie cutter plots throw this in the gutter. Just because shes ugly doesnt make her realistic of relatable.

M.HamiltonFeb 12, 2007The extremely poor man's "Devil Wears Prada". I expected much more from this series and was very disappointed. Didn't deserve the Golden Globe and America Ferrera does not add anything special.

MisterRNov 2, 2006Formulaic, predictable, dumb "office-intrigue" storyline, one-dimensional characters. Betty herself is wonderful, and very well-played by America Ferrara, but the scripts let her down. Ugly Betty absolutely does not live up to its hype.

Jan 3, 2022Truest example of "did not age well. It's cinematography is dreadful and despite being framed as a comedy it's humorless. There is nothing remotely exciting about it.
Awards & Rankings
-
Ugly Betty has high spirits, camp, couture, charm and heart.
-
This juicy comedy-drama recaptures the fun of Desperate Housewives in its first season.
-
The driving force behind the show's appeal is Ferrera, who gives a pitch-perfect, killer performance in the opening episodes.
