Ugly Betty: The Best Show You're Not Watching

Justin is throwing plates! It's about damn time! We open this episode of Ugly Betty at Betty's new old apartment which has been painted periwinkle. Justin is rehearsing Stanley from A Streetcar Named Desire for his audition for some hoity-toity acting teacher. Hilda says Justin is so nervous about the audition she and Bobby are going to wait until after it's over to tell him about the baby. So if he doesn't get into the acting class, at least he knows you're trying to replace him.

What I wouldn't give to throw plates at someone. At work.

Ugly Betty: Yours is the Saddest Story I've Ever Heard

We open this episode of Ugly Betty with Betty shoving her face through a crack in a door. It's a good look. She's asking someone if she can talk to him and he answers that he's doing crunches and wants to know if she's got the money. I'm intrigued. Or hungry. She says she has some of the money. Back alley abortion? Did Mode cut their health insurance?

Ugly Betty: Miss You Not So Much!

Welcome back to the first 2010 episode of Ugly Betty! For those of you playing at home, it's now on Wednesday at 10pm because networks executives are trying to kill this show. We open with a dentist blowing Betty - no, seriously, he's blowing air at Betty and she's loving it. No, wait, it's Dr. Farkus, her orthodontist, which makes the blowing much less enticing. Also, Dr. Farkus reminds me of a creepy Chris Elliott. Creepier.

Stop blowing me! Or get a breath mint!

Ugly Betty: Bee Sure the Sex is Worth It or You'll Just Get Stung!

First and foremost, babies ruin everything but especially television shows. From Cousin Oliver on The Brady Bunch, to Albert on Little House on the Prairie, to Murphy Brown and her ancient egg fertilization, we all know it. So it is with some trepidation that I watched this episode of Ugly Betty with the double pregnancy scare.

I normally feel this way before work too.

Ugly Betty: SEX! SEX! HOT ISLAND SEX! What else do you need?

I'm not sure what's worse, seeing Ugly Betty in a bathing suit or faking us out with a sepia-toned opening in a 1920s unitard once known as a "bathing suit." Really, it's a toss-up. Betty is pitching an idea about a feature on the first woman to wear a bathing suit with accompanying photos of swimsuits throughout the years. You know, I don't hate it.

For a split second, I thought I was watching The Hills.

Ugly Betty: Crocs or Clogs? Who Cares? They Both Suck!

"It appears Wilhelmina Slater has been struck blind by the fashion gods," Suzuki St. Pierre says as we open this episode of Ugly Betty. And has she ever! We see her getting out of a cab wearing sweats, a ball cap, and multi-colored crocs. Sweet Jesus, kill me now, you can't even see her cleavage or her wrinkle-less forehead! Has she had a breakdown? How can I have my girl crush on her when she looks like this?

Sasquatch or Wilhelmina Slater? You be the judge!

Ugly Betty: Betty Goes Rogue! Within Her Comfort Zone!

On this falsely advertised as Betty-goes-bad-girl episode of Ugly Betty, we're begin our day at Casa de Nobody Works during breakfast. Betty comes into the dining room as Hilda woo-oohs that Betty got home late - at 10:30pm. I have to admit, I'm usually in bed before then, so it does sound late. Betty says some editors wanted to go out so she went with them. No wonder they called it an early night.

Wow. Fleshy.

Ugly Betty: The Return of a Good Episode!

Just when you thought it wasn't safe to watch Ugly Betty, they kick out an excellent episode! In fact, there was one scene where I actually laughed out loud. I know! The show is fighting it's way back to Thursday with an episode called "The Wiener, The Bun and the Boob." It's like Girls Gone Wild, ABC-Family Style.

Holy crap! It's Betty in male form!

Ugly Betty: Get the Fast Forward Ready!

Oh my God are you kidding me? We open Ugly Betty with Betty scrubbing some guy's head and that is NOT a euphemism. She's working in Hilda's shop where apparently Hilda has schedule 50 appointments for 7am. I only guess at the time because both Betty and Justin are still at home and since they go to work and high school respectively, seems like it would have to be that early for both of them to be home. So two questions: Why is Hilda's Beautilities open that early and what the hell is she thinking scheduling that many appointments at once? Well, at least she's working. Am I ever happy?
