Ugly Betty

Based on a Colombian telenovela "Yo Soy Betty La Fea," ("I am Betty, the Ugly One"), which has become an international phenomenon, "Ugly Betty" is produced in the U.S. By Touchstone Televison and airs on ABC. The hour-long show stars America Ferrera (Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Real Women Have Curves) as Betty Suarez, a girl from Queens working at the high fashion, hipster magazine "Mode". While Betty is intelligent, good hearted and hardworking, at a work environment where "image is everything", Betty doesn't exactly fit in.

Entertainment Weekly has a photo gallery of the Ugly Betties from around the World, and ABC has made the whole series of "Ugly Betty" available for viewing online (for free) so that you can catch up on all the episodes you missed. (You do have to view it in Flash, and every 10 minutes they subject you to a 30 second sponsorship ad)
