Good hearted, glossy comedy with a solid cast, 5 January 2007
Author: DVD_Connoisseur from England

The pilot for "Ugly Betty" is warm-hearted and humorous entertainment. Fast moving, engaging and funny, this first instalment bodes well for the future.

The cast is excellent. As well as the great America Ferrera, the show stars Alan (Jim Robinson from "Neighbours"!) Dale, the simply gorgeous Vanessa Williams as the evil Wilhelmina Slater, and Eric Mabius as Daniel Meade.

As purely a side-note, there are many attractive actresses in this production that are sure to attract hot-blooded males who wouldn't normally watch this type of show!

"Ugly Betty" looks a million dollars and is a breath of fresh air. Looking forward to seeing where this show goes as it has a lot of potential...
