Watching Ugly Betty

In one of my favorite Ugly Betty moments of all time Betty and the gang visit a Medieval Times like restaurant. After Nick beats up Henry he decides to gloat to Betty. A fed up Betty takes the matter into her own hands and gives the jerk a big dose of his own medicine. What have we learned here? Women don’t need a knight in shining armor just a really big jousting stick! Season 1 is on DVD now and this scene you will be watching again and again.

My clip love fest continues in honor of Season 1 being released on DVD this week! In this scene Daniel proves to Betty just how much he values her help. After giving her a crappy trophy for Administrative Professionals Day he makes up with a very expensive present! Once again proving that buried beneath his self absorbed rich boy facade lies a heart of gold. The lesson here? Sometimes good things actually happen to good people.

BURBANK, Calif., June 1, 2007 – ABC Television’s newest critically acclaimed primetime series will debut on DVD August 21 from Buena Vista Worldwide Home Entertainment.

America is cheering for vibrant overachiever Betty Suarez a.k.a. Ugly Betty, played by America Ferrera (”The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants”). Winner of two Golden Globes®, Ugly Betty received statuettes for Best Television Series, Musical or Comedy and Best Actress in a Television Series, Musical or Comedy for Ferrera.

Ugly Betty is the ultimate story of a square peg in a universe of round holes. The bespectacled Betty Suarez is the true beauty in the skin-deep world of high fashion, but she toils as the assistant to dashing womanizer Daniel Meade (Eric Mabius), editor-in-chief of fashion industry bible “MODE.” Both are newcomers to the ultra-competitive fashion scene, and need to constantly beat back attacks from their jealous enemies— fashion diva Wilhelmina (former Miss America Vanessa Williams), her toadying assistant Marc (Michael Urie) and conniving receptionist Amanda (Becki Newton). Away from the glitz of Manhattan, Betty lives in Queens with her family—her loving father Ignacio (Tony Plana), spitfire sister Hilda (Ana Ortiz) and fashion-obsessed nephew Justin (Mark Indelicato)—who lend her support whenever she is in need.

Get into the MODE with 23 episodes on this 6-disc DVD. “Must-have” bonus features include “Becoming Ugly”, in which Ferrera and the cast discuss what it means to get Bettyfied. Plus, get the real behind-the-scenes scoop with “A La Mode” and “Green is the New Black,” which explore the fashion, sets and magic that go into creating the show.
