Fearing competition and high ratings, prominent Brazilian channel Rede Globo bought the rights to this series only to prevent SBT from airing it in 2000. Globo also considered remaking it, which is unusual for the channel since the 60s. The series was, however, bought and aired by RedeTV! in 2003, while SBT later aired the Mexican remake The Prettiest Ugly Girl (2006). See more »

OK, as a rule telenovelas are fun to watch, at least for a few minutes, because they are always so bad! There is only one plot from which all telenovelas spring and the acting is almost always completely overblown. Betty La Fea, in contrast, is actually a good novela, which is a rare thing. Most of the actors are pretty good and, above all, Ana Maria Orozco does a brilliant job playing Betty. This is a funny show and I would definitely recommend it. I watch it daily to keep up with the Spanish I learned while living in Peru and I have even managed to hook my roommates on the show, though none of them speak or understand Spanish.
