TV Series. Comedy. Drama TV Series (2006-2010). 4 Seasons. 85 Episodes. In the superficial world of high fashion, image is everything.

	Media	Author	Review
		Matt Roush TV Guide	"A show and a heroine larger than life, twice as colorful and infinitely more adorable"
		Robert Bianco USA Today	"There is no new show more likable, but that affection may waver if Betty can't give Ferrera the scripts and support she deserves. Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"
		Tom Shales The Washington Post	"It's sweet, touching and deliriously cheerful -- the best new show of the year and a great big blast of happiness"
		Linda Stasi New York Post	"Lots of fun, lots of laughs, lots of good, heartwarming plots"
		Tim Goodman SFGATE	"'Ugly Betty' is worth checking out. It retains a charm that far outstrips expectations. And Ferrera's performances are small wonders to behold"
		Maureen Ryan Chicago Tribune	"'Betty' walks a fine line between satire and drama and, astonishingly, it doesn't fall off that razor's edge very often"
		Virginia Heffernan The New York Times	"'Ugly Betty' is a sweet, funny show. It's worth watching. And we'll see"

		Brian Lowry Variety	"Ferrara... is consistently endearing, bringing heart and soul to a character that could easily be a cartoon. Too bad that doesn't extend to the rest of the series, which oscillates from screwball comedy... to florid soap elements"
