Have we discussed Ugly Betty here yet? I havnt checked in in a while. I LOVE that show. I think the "very-possibly gay" nephew is great. He comes across very well adjusted, and sure of his interests and desires and is loved and respected, especially by his grandfather.

I laugh so hard at this show. I gave up on Desp Housewives, as too over the top. This show has a heart and while melodramatic, never unbelievable.

    I have only seen it once, and don't remmber much.
    I don't like the name, but would be willing to try and watch it again.
    What time and channel does it come on?

      i love this show as well as desperate housewives. tivo and having the shows now online now makes it much easier to watch both shows

      ugly betty is on abc, thur at 8pm.

      you can also watch it online at dynamic.abc.go.com/streaming/landing.

      saves me room on my tivo for shows that are not available online.

      i find the nephew to be absolutely adorable! I also think that the male assistant is great. i love campy bitchy attitude and he's got it in spades. did anyone else see the cameo from noah's arc hottie as the waiter at the hotel restaurant?

        I'm a big fan - and I'm glad to see it's online, because Thursday is a rough day for me to get home on time & I've missed half the episodes. I"m pre-Tivo here.

        I think this is the first gay-positive tv show that I've actually liked. I hope that Salma Hayek gets lots of love from GLAAD next time they start passing out awards.

      Hm. What's the issue with the name. I've read about it and as I recall, it is purposefully ironic because Betty isn't ugly at all, she just isn't the skinny "beauty" that is held up as the ideal in modern society.
