Last week rather shocking and unexpected departure of Matt was bound to create some waves, be it on the show or in fan forums. There was one particular thread that wouldn’t die in the one I checked out: that Matt’s departure was a desperate attempt at reviving a dying show. Honestly, I don’t know where… Read More TV Review: Ugly Betty, Season 4, Episode 12: Blackout!
Ugly Betty used to be at the very top of the TV game, consistently delivering amazing episodes week after week. But, although it’s episodes do display a certain level of quality that is lacking in many other shows, it’s last season delivered too many lackluster episodes for it to be able to surpass the high… Read More TV Review: Ugly Betty, Season 4, Episode 3: Blue on Blue
Unlike many of the other shows I follow, Ugly Betty didn’t leave us hanging before the winter break, which made me wonder: were they certain of their fanbase’s loyalty, or had they run out of ideas? Only the quality of episode 10 would give us an idea of the thinking that went behind that decision,… Read More TV Review: Ugly Betty, Season 4, Episode 10: The Passion of the Betty
I finally caved. After months and months of being harassed (lovingly, thankfully) by some of you guys, I decided I’d start reviewing Ugly Betty episodes again. I did take notes while watching the first half of the season, but I never quite got around to typing them out. And since nine episodes have already aired,… Read More TV Review: Ugly Betty, Season 4, Episodes 1 & 2
Waiting for Season 4 to begin – especially since Ugly Betty has been moved to the Friday Night Death Slot – has become a good time to indulge in watching some of the past season’s episodes. And, since I didn’t review all of them, it’s also a great time to go over some of the… Read More Review: Ugly Betty, Season 3, Episode 21: The Born Identity
It’s been awhile since I watched this episode of Ugly Betty and, solely for the sake of accuracy, I just had to watch it again. OK, fine… Since ‘truthfulness is the foundation of all human virtues’, I am forced to admit that it wasn’t ONLY for that reason that I re-watched this episode. As I… Read More Review: Ugly Betty, Season 3, Episode 10: Rabbit Test – Part II
I know, I know – what am I doing, reviewing Episode 22 after having seen and reviewed the finale? Well the way I see it, we’re in for quite a long, Betty-less time, so I might as well stretch it out as much as I can! And if I run out of episodes to review… Read More Review: Ugly Betty, Season 3, Episode 22: In the Stars
What a sad, sad ending to Season 3 of Ugly Betty. I turned off the TV after watching it and sat in the dark with tears in my eyes. And, thanks to Cyndi Lauper and Sarah McLachlan, I’m still not over it, and probably won’t be able to listen to the remake of Time after… Read More Review: Ugly Betty, Season 3, Episode 24 (Finale)
Needless to say, I’m very, very happy to have new Ugly Betty episodes back on the air! Unfortunately, I could only watch their first half (and barely) of the episode before the link was somehow broken, and I have yet to find another link to the episode (or take the time to do so). But… Read More Review: Ugly Betty, Season 3, Episode 20: Rabbit Test – Part I
Seriously? No Ugly Betty from March 19th to April 30th? How in the world are we supposed to survive the end of winter and, for Montrealers, an overwhelmingly disappointing end to the 2008-2009 Centennial season of the Habs if we can’t count on things like Ugly Betty? At least the upcoming plot twists sound pretty… Read More Review: Ugly Betty, Season 3, Month-long Hiatus: Lament of a Disgruntled Fan
