Rummy Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 Did anyone watch this tonight? I did and actually found that I quite liked it. Weird thing, it has the woman from extras in it, which I noticed on the advert but thought I was mistaken, kind of random and unexpected. I just finished watching the second episode too(ponline) and it had Dawn from The Office in it! Of course, none of this says much for the actual show, I can't really describe it, so I'll give a link to the first episode for anyone who didn't see it to watch. Link here(massive URL), straight into a full screen so perfect for your wii!
Solo Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 I was fed up with this before it even started thanks to the bombardment of advertising for it, tbh it looked truly horrendous never mind ugly.
EEVILMURRAY Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 I didn't watch it as I was out, but I shall hope to watch it next week. That whore from Extras however makes me want to watch it less.
Ten10 Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 Aw damn I missed it. I wanted to watch it regardless of the advertising, which I managed not to see. I just saw a review for the show in a magazine and it sounded interesting. And after going on about it at around 6 I managed to end up missing the whole thing.
Dyson Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 It kinda interested me even with the bombardment of adverts starting late november. Was it any good?
Ramar Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 I was fed up with this before it even started thanks to the bombardment of advertising for it, tbh it looked truly horrendous never mind ugly. QFT Thank god I was working last night. Or I would've had to go round the country Santa stylie destroying every tv set with it on.
Hero-of-Time Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 I thought it was pretty bad. Its advert kept saying it was the hit US comedy but I didnt laugh at all.
solitanze Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 The only time I ever finding myself laughing at sitcomes PERIOD is when you have some guy in the audience where they crack up laughing and really stand out. Thats funny, the material presented on TV, is not.
The Peeps Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 Only saw one advert for it but I was only half watching. Was gonna watch it but I forgot it was on, dunno if I should bother now though.
AshMat Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 I wish they'd stop putting so many ads on, but i watched it. Pretty good, something half-decent to watch on a Friday besides CBB.
martinist Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 i watched this, its the best damn sitcom i've ever seen
Rummy Posted January 6, 2007 Author Posted January 6, 2007 I wouldn't even say it's a sitcom, it's more of a comedy drama, a bit like how desperate housewives is. I think anybody who hasn't seen it should really give it a try, just because they put tons of advertising out for it, doesn't mean it's bad.
Charlie Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 The only time I ever finding myself laughing at sitcomes PERIOD is when you have some guy in the audience where they crack up laughing and really stand out. Thats funny, the material presented on TV, is not. Why did you randomly say "PERIOD" in the middle of your sentence? What you said, however is very funny when you hear someone guffaw, we had to watch Mr Bean (the exam one) at school one time and we were pissing ourselves because of one of the guys who was supposedly laughing at it. I really doubt those laughs are real because most of the time it isn't funny at all.
Platty Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 I had this on in the background. Seemed alright. It's obvious tho that ugly betty isnt actually ugly. Get rid of the fake brace, sort out the fake eyebrows, drop the glasses, do her hair nice and dress her in something good and she will be HOT Betty!
triforcemario Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 I swear that Ugly Betty is just an American remake of the popular Spanish TV Show, Betty La Fea.
Guest Stefkov Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 I had this on in the background. Seemed alright. It's obvious tho that ugly betty isnt actually ugly. Get rid of the fake brace, sort out the fake eyebrows, drop the glasses, do her hair nice and dress her in something good and she will be HOT Betty! I came down and watched the last half hour of it, and my da actually said that its not an ugly person playing Betty, that she is really a hot person. Take away the glasses and braces and he looks like this The way it was made I thought it was a movie. It just had all the makings of a movie to me, one of those shitty ones, not saying its shit, but like that new one employee of the month. It had the same kinda feel to it.
Ashley Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 Interestingly, the show has spawned a Be Ugly in '07 campaign. So the actor isn't ugly, but shes acting. Eric McCormack isn't gay, but that doens't mean he can't campaign for gay rights (and I'm pretty sure he does).

mtg101 Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 No sir, didn't like it. The wife did. Guess I'll be watching it.
Rummy Posted January 7, 2007 Author Posted January 7, 2007 I had this on in the background. Seemed alright. It's obvious tho that ugly betty isnt actually ugly. Get rid of the fake brace, sort out the fake eyebrows, drop the glasses, do her hair nice and dress her in something good and she will be HOT Betty! I thought the exact same thing when I saw it too. I imagine at some point she'll be completely madeover in the show and not ugly, at least for a while.
