Is Ugly Betty good OR NOT?

[CaptainWacky]

Channel 4 are pimping the shite out of it.

 

[whisky]

It has the scottish woman out of extras in, apparently

I find the lack of Micheal Ironside disturbing

 

[CaptainWacky]

She was in that Patrick Stewart ITV thing and look how that turned out.

 

[whisky]

I don't know, I didn't watch a single episode

 

[CaptainWacky]

Exactly!

 

[Cassie]

My mom loves that show.

 

[Laker_Girl]

The little bit that I've seen has been pretty good. The funniest thing about the show is her off the charts gay 12 year old nephew, he kills me.

 

[whisky]

Caught the last few minutes, didn't seem very funny

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

I've seen almost every episode. I love the show. Everyone is pretty damn funny across the board, once you get into the cartoonish style and pace of it all.

Vanessa Williams might be the weak leak as a comedic actress, but she does OK with what they give her, which is basically to be Anna Wintour with a secret heart of gold.

 

[headvoid]

JIM FROM NEIGHBOURS OH MY GOD THIS SHOW PWNS ALL WITH ITS NEIGHBOURS REFERENCES!!

 

[CaptainWacky]

Jim is in EVERYTHING.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

!

 

[CaptainWacky]

NO

 

[Mentalist]

I've been watching it from the start. I shamelessly love it.

But to be fair I am gay in every single way except the liking boys part.

 

[CaptainWacky]

It was okay.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Saw the pilot episode tonight. Was doing work, so I couldn't concentrate properly, but seemed quite good. Is Vanessa Williams THE Vanessa Williams? And is she in later eps, or did I just not recognise her in this one?

I was surprised to see Jim Robinson again. He really is in EVERYTHING. The O.C., Star Trek, Lost, Neighbours.. still, must be great to break into America after only being known for a cheesy Australian soap.

USers know him quite well.
