Anyone? I adore this show. America Ferrera is such an awesome actress. This show is what's going to keep me alive this coming semester at school.

Honestly, and I mean no offense to you, I find it absurdly ridiculously crappy. I just can't put my finger on what's so special about it, but more power to you if you enjoy it.

This is one of those shows I've never watched but thought the premise sounded interesting. What other shows is it kind of like? (Yeah, I hate that question too, but it gives me a frame of reference.)

Haha, MD, I understand why you would think so. It is pretty corny sometimes. I just get so caught up in who's going to end up with who, what's Wilhelmina's next evil plan going to be, etc.
vannessajoyce - I don't watch much TV (besides UB, of course) so I couldn't really compare it to other shows. I guess you could compare it to Gossip Girl (although I don't watch that). It's a dramedy, basically.

Hmmm . . . I might try to catch it then, because I do like "dramedy". If I started watching it like immediately would I understand what was going on pretty quickly?

Well Season 3 starts next month. I think you'd be able to pick it up pretty easily from there. Especially since Betty's gonna get a brand new man. All's you need to know is Betty is a nerd and she was lucky enough to get a job at a big fashion magazine and everyone hates her because she's ugly except her boss, Daniel, the editor in chief, who is her pal. And Wilhelmina is a biotch who is the creative director who is trying to become editor in chief. In season 2 she stole Daniel's job and now he doesn't have one, but that won't last long. She tried to marry Daniel's father (the owner of the publishing company) so she would inherit it, but he died before she got the chance, so she had some guy extract sperm from his dead body to fertilize one of her eggs so she can produce an heir. It's all a little ridiculous, but I'll go with it.

Sounds like just my cup o' tea. ;D
Seriously I love crazy interpersonal stuff like that. I'll try to catch it!
