Are You An “Ugly Betty” Fan?

I watch a lot of TV.  Okay, I watch way too much TV, which is why I was hesitant to add yet another program to my weekly lineup.  Last night, however, I watched ABC and Salma Hayek’s “Ugly Betty” for the first time (I know, I’m like how many seasons behind?).  My best friend Cindy told me she thought I’d enjoy the show since it revolves around the fickle fashion world and costars Vanessa Williams as a diva, Anna Wintour-like fashion magazine editor.  She was right!

America Ferrera has been on my adorable actress list since I saw her in “Real Women Have Curves,” and she was the only bright spot in the otherwise blah “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2.” And she’s loveable as awkward editorial assistant Betty, who by the way may be geeky and braces-challenged, but is definitely not ugly.  I don’t know if I’ll become an “Ugly Betty” fanatic (I’ll save that for “Lost” and “Project Runway”), but I plan to order the show’s first season from Netflix and take it from there.
