"Betty Suarez has always had one goal in life: to make it into the fashion industry. Despite being smart, hard-working, and productive, her dream has always been shadowed by the fact that she isn't the best looking young woman. However, she is now determined to do whatever it takes to fulfill that ultimate dream.
Ugly Betty stars America Ferrera in the title role. The show is based on the wildly popular Colombian telenovela which has already been successfully translated in Mexico, India, Russia, and Germany - all to stellar ratings."
I've only seen a few episodes here and there, but I've enjoyed what I've seen. Betty -- as a character -- has really grown on me after a while. I don't have a lot of personal interest in the fashion industry, but it is interesting to watch as Betty struggles to make her career dreams come true in a field known for it's snobbish image-contious perspective.
