Ugly Betty

From Wikipedia: ============== Ugly Betty is a Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winning American television comedy-drama series starring America Ferrera, Eric Mabius, Rebecca Romijn and Vanessa Williams. The series premiered on September 28, 2006, on ABC in the United States and on Citytv in Canada. It follows the life of the unglamorous but good-natured Betty Suarez (Ferrera), and her incongruous job at the ultra-chic New York City fashion magazine "Mode" (Mode is a word that means "fashion" in several languages, including French and German, and in Spanish, but with the "e" replaced with an "a"). Betty's status as a "fish out of water" drives much of the plot. The series is an adaptation of the Colombian telenovela Yo soy Betty, la fea ("I am Betty, the ugly one"), also simply known as "Betty la fea" ("Ugly Betty") written by Fernando Gait??n (also author of Caf??, con aroma de mujer). It is adapted into a New York City setting by creator/developer Silvio Horta and co-producers Salma Hayek and Ben Silverman, whose production companies Silent H, Ventanarosa and Reveille respectively partnered with ABC Studios to create the hour-long program for US audience. Hayek has appeared on the show as Sofia Reyes, in addition to playing a cameo role as an actress on a fictional telenovela watched by the main character's family in early episodes. The show is filmed like a traditional network drama (with motion picture film), rather than the videotape production of the original series. Ugly Betty's second season is now airing.
