I took the time watching this episode of Ugly Betty after I heard rumours about how it was going on hiatus until the month of May – and apparently guys it’s true, no new Ugly Betty episodes until May 7th! Can you believe it, how they are toying with our emotions like this? How rude!… Read More Review: Ugly Betty, Season 3, Episode 19
It is official: Ugly Betty is back to its Season 1 glory. While the plot has completely changed, the tension, the web of relationships, the ups and down, the almost unexpected twists – it’s all back and I’m loving every second of it. I’ll tell you what is not back though: Wilhelmina’s all black or… Read More Review: Ugly Betty, Season 3, Episode 17: Sugar Daddy
You know that, with a title like that, things are not going to be good. It was a good ploy to make viewers sit tightly in their chairs for this particular episode – and as I sat down, clutching my little foam stress-relief basketball, I couldn’t help but wonder if it was just a cheap… Read More Review: Ugly Betty, Season 3, Episode 16: Things fall apart
There seems to have been a surge of interest in the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty, at least as reflected by a steady increase in the number of people who have read my post about the subject (the post can be found here). This got me interested in checking out what’s new with the Campaign.… Read More Dove Campaign for Real Beauty: The Dove Sleep-Over for Self-Esteem
Just as I was seriously starting to wonder if the writers had decided to just drop the Christina/baby angle comes a great episode from Ugly Betty that culminates in quite a Wilhelmina-worthy birth of her child. And you all know how critical I have become lately of both Ugly Betty and Heroes, so this is… Read More Review: Ugly Betty, Season 3, Episode 15: There’s no place like Mode
Now that I have gotten the mega-massive ready frenzy out of the way, I’m slowly catching up on my TV shows, including, of course, Ugly Betty. Episode 14, The Courtship of Betty’s Father, was definitely another fun episode, but it was a little lukewarm. I still haven’t figured out if it’s the show that has… Read More Review: Ugly Betty, Season 3, Episode 14: The Courtship of Betty’s Father
I would like to start this review by sharing my secret hope that the “Hot Cocoa Fix” street vendor really does exist. If so, I’m so moving to New York, preferably in a little apartment right across the street from that street vendor. Or, if I can’t move to New York, I’ll buy that cart… Read More Review: Ugly Betty, Season 3, Episode 13: Kissed Off
You would think, from my complaining during the last two months about the hiatuses on the many shows I watch, that the exact dates of their return would be imprinted on my very soul. You would be wrong (and not because I don’t have a soul). I missed the return of Heroes by five days.… Read More Review: Ugly Betty, Season 3, Episode 12: Sisters on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown
I have a confession to make: I totally forgot about Volume 4 of Heroes starting this week. . I know – how shocking is that? I thought that maybe it meant that I was over the show, that it wouldn’t suck me right back in – but it did. Everyone together, on Aretha Franklin’s I… Read More Review: Heroes, Season 3, Episode 14, a.k.a. Volume 4, Episode 1 (this could get confusing)
After Black Thursday, i.e. last Thursday’s lack of UB, we are back at our favourite magazine with our favourite Latina outcast. I missed the first few minutes of the episode; I have yet to adapt to Sahar on Crutches Time (as opposed to Sahar Standard Time) and I keep underestimating how long it will take… Read More Review: Ugly Betty, Season 3, Episode 10
