Ugly Betty a million Thumbs Up!!!!!!!
It was great, funny, charming and ean entertaining show. Although I grew watching telenovelas I lost connection with this TV genre since 1995. Telenovelas are a short version of our US Daytime Soap Opera; however they are shorter time wise. The first time I visited US was in 1975, they were showing All My Children, General Hospital etc. I moved to the mainland in 1982 and they were showing the same soap operas and it is still 2006 and those shows are still going. Who has the time to watch and follow 30 years plus soap opera? The Latin American soap operas although they can be cheesy they only last 3 months; they can go from the sublime to the ridiculous but they are entertaining. I though Ugly Betty would be another telenovela. But Ugly Betty is really an excellent show. America Ferrera (Ugly Betty) she is a great actress, she brings a lot of our Hispanic passion to Ugly Betty. It was hilarious seeing Salma HayeK on a Mexican soap opera on Ugly Betty's TV. I liked the touch of the Guadalajara poncho, It's Salma's sublime message to tell us that Ugly Betty is a Mexican American living in Queens, not a Puerto Rican, Dominican which represent the majority of Hispanics in New York City. I'm Puerto Rican and I'm elated with Salma Hayek successes in Hollywood like in Frida, and In the Time of the Butterflies. Bravo Salma!!! Well Done ..Te la comiste..I'm very proud of you. You are bringing our Latin Culture to Prime TV..It's not a drama show like Law and Order show but is a good start.
