Ugly Betty - ABC's Primetime Show

[John_M.]

Don't forget that there's a new Ugly Betty tonight! This week's episode looks more like a fun episode compared to last week's exciting episode. I know I called that as "24" exciting for last week's episode. This one is more like a release from last week's exciting episode.

Or in musical speak... last wee's episode is hard-hitting trance, and this week's episode is more like chill or lounge music to dial things down. But if Ugly Betty is going to be dialed down, it's not going to dial down without lovely fashion, good comedy, and interesting drama. So enjoy tonight's episode!

 

[John_M.]

There was some humor, but also some big drama. Nice episode.

In a way, the question here is... which do you try to keep financially afloat- your home or your job? If I had to pick "best dressed," I'd go with Amanda. That's right. I chose Amanda over Hilda and Wilhelmina. She just seemed on point with the outfits she wore. Worst dressed (and I love her) was Hilda, especially footwear choices except for the sandals.

The next Ugly Betty is next Thursday looks like the typical craziness the series can provide. Should be an interesting episode. There has to be some extra sub-stories for next week's episode.

Good episode. I liked the Financial theme
But I wish Whilhelmina would get back to her old ways!

Can't wait for the next episode

 

[Danish]

Amanda in this episode Lots of good quotes.

 

[seacarousels]

who is the actor who played the gay guy with his baby? his eyes are amazing.

 

[gius]

betty didn't wear her black coat dress long enough in the show.. i think ive seen educo wearing a coat like that

 

[John_M.]

The gay guy (usually accompanied with Amanda) is Marc. I believe he's one of my fellow Texas natives, born in Plano.

 

[gius]

maybe she means the daddy

 

[Cado]

Is Justin a very very good actor or is he like that for real? I hope so, he's cool

 

[bohemian babe]

More amanda please!!

 

[John_M.]

I'm watching "Ugly Betty" right now. It's the halfway point of the show. I'll be sure to bring up my "Yay and Nay" on fashion hits and misses from this week's show. So far, I praise Amanda for her look from the second segment when chatting with Betty. Haven't seen too many personal misses of mine, so the first half is mostly clean for me.

Enjoy the show!

This was more a romantic-style episode than any insanity. But still, it's a romantic-style episode with a fair assortment of style. And style is what tFS is all about, right?

Fashionwise, there was a good deal of gray and silver in this episode. Most of it executed pretty well. But it's not all monochromatic to the sense where no attention to color detail was prevalent. I have two winners for this episode. My fashionable winner is Amanda. Only one appearance, but it was a lovely one. I'm also naming Daniel a winner. I think he's the most handsome fellow on the show.

Doesn't it seem like commercial breaks come too early in Ugly Betty sometimes, especially at dramatic times? Next week's episode more like comedic romance. I can already sense insanity if Betty's in trouble... and Amanda tries to help her. Don't miss the next Ugly Betty next Thursday! Looks pretty cool!

Ok so just watched the lastest ep and at 30:39 there is Betty sitting down talking to Daniel wearing CHANEL SHOES. These Chanel shoes -

style.com

I don't know why this bothers me but it does. If they were on Amanda fine but Betty. Shouldn't she be wearing Payless. Do you know what I mean.

 

[Cado]

Even Chanel manage to make ugly shoes, believe it or not. ^

 

[John_M.]

Actially, I like those pumps (Post #433). Can't Betty show some style every now and then? As I mentioned before, Betty has lots of clashing patterns and colors... but they all somehow come together nicely in my view.

 

[shoegal87]

OMG really? I didn't notice them, I was too busy looking at that awful pink coat she had but seriously this all betty being ugly thing is getting ridiculous...Ok the show is named UGLY BETTY and all...but they could at least give her a nice hair cut...

 

[John_M.]

New Ugly Betty tonight, but I MIGHT pass on tonight's new episode or not make such a detailed "Yay and Nay" this week. Reason is because I'm following the men's college basketball tournament and trying to see how my brackets are doing.

Anyhow, I may not do a "Yay and Nay" report this week, or may not even see Ugly Betty this week. So enjoy tonight's show!

 

[John_M.]

I didn't do my "Yay and Nay" fashion report, but I did manage to see about 60% of this week's episode. Now afterwards, the announcement said...

"coming up in newer episodes of Ugly Betty..."

Not "next Thursday," not "in two weeks," but maybe months from now. It's still a stupid story about newer Ugly Betty episodes to be aired later this year rather than now. Still, great show.

 

[vogue28]

The next episode is not next week?
Ugly Betty is much better than the usual crap on TV.

I enjoyed this weeks episode. Whilhelmina had some really funny lines 'Seems we're not going to have sex. Your fired'
I was so pleased to see Amanda again. I feel she has been out for a while..

& I'm sick of this Betty & Matt storyline already.

 

[Label Basher]

Amanda's orange coat was atrocious. I like "muppet" fur coats but this one is just wrong. Now this black one was so cute. I have to find out who it's by asap.

Pics - ONTD Livejournal, celebutopia and screencap by me.

The break is only 6 weeks. It will fly by.

Becky and Michael will be doing Mode After Hours on the ABC website during the break. There is a new one on there right now.
