Ugly Betty

As Betty Suarez, a beautiful dreamer with a heart full of soul, America Ferrera gives the breakout new star performance of the season. And "Ugly Betty," fizzy, smart and colorfully styled, is looking fine.

The driving force behind the show's appeal is Ferrera, who gives a pitch-perfect, killer performance in the opening episodes.

This fall's most satisfying series delight.

Even though "Ugly Betty" tends to go for very broad humor when subtlety would serve better, it is easily watchable.

“Ugly Betty” is a sweet, funny show. It’s worth watching. And we’ll see.

"Betty" walks a fine line between satire and drama and, astonishingly, it doesn’t fall off that razor’s edge very often.

Week in, week out, Ugly Betty subjects its audience to the same recycled crisis.
