I'm about to watch it. I feel like ABC wants to be done with this show. Why did they push back the premiere?

Ugly Betty's season premiere was awesome.
Anyone else surprised that Betty & Daniel actually seem like they could work as a romantic couple? In the past, they seemed more like brother and sister to me, but their vibe was totally different in the season premiere. |

I loved it! I've missed this show. I was sooo happy when Daniel punched Matt that I had to watch it twice

^^ I saw the hit coming, but I didn't know who was going to do it. I was like, "See, at this time in a dramatic series, that dude would get knocked
the fu---oh! Go Daniel!"

It was a great epi! Don't really know the the Niko/Wilhemina story is going but oh well. I love how the problem with Justin is that he is gay and getting
harrassed at school but no one has actually verbalized it. They keep alluding to him being different and ONLY Mark understands. C'mon
We love Justin
just as he is.
I love scruffy Daniel and his facial hair. Takes out the pretty boy look. Even Matt's new haircut makes him look hotter. I really hope something blossom's between Betty and Daniel now that they are friends 
Amanda looked too tanned, IMO. |

YAY finally hints that Betty is going to get her makeover though I think they're taking it small steps at a time. America Ferrera is gorgeous and they need
to show her off ffs. Really liking the idea of Betty & Daniel in the future, they had really good chemistry in this episode. I'm glad Ugly Betty is
finally picking up! Totally bored with Willy & her daughter's drama.

That was a great episode! I was surprised, after last season, I wasn't expecting much. It's nice to see that Ugly Betty is finally getting good again.
Though, it felt like they were laying the ground work to wrap everything up.
It seems that they're working on making Amanda a person with some substance. That should be interesting to watch! I was really disappointed that Matt turned into a jerk, I loved him last season. His new haircut made him pretty hot, though. lol The only thing I didn't like about the episode, was that Betty still dropped everything to attend to Daniel. Hopefully, that'll change as the season progresses. I'm definitely excited about Ugly Betty again. |

Yeah the dropping everything to help Daniel is getting tedious. Then again she always puts others in front of herself. That's why she's living at home
remember?

I could never understand people that wanted Betty and Daniel together, but I get it now. I hope there's a hook-up before the end of the series, which
hopefully this isn't the last season.
Daniel is one of my favorite TV characters. I don't know what it is, maybe the suits. I just find him ridiculously attractive. Not just physically either. They've really developed his character since the beginning. Are they ever going to have Justin come out? I think they are going to need to deal with it at some point. I hope they ease up on Matt's attitude. He was so irritating last night, I wanted to go through the TV and grab him by the throat. |

And I think they are subtly saying Justin is gay, with Marc saying there's a reason Justin came to him, but they don't explicitly say what the reason is. And, I sorta liked Matt, but seriously, now he's just an ass. I'm glad the show is getting good again, I hope it's on for a few more seasons. |

This is why I hate when shows/movies are remade. There is no way possible that anyone who re-does it can win. If it's pretty much the same, it's not
anything original, the first one was better, and they're ruining it. If they change anything, that's not the way it's supposed to be, the first one
was better, and they're ruining it. I've been looking forward to Daniel and Betty hooking up since the first season, but I still view the situation in
the same way I view True Blood and the Sookie Stackhouse novels: the writers are just borrowing the basic idea and are doing their own thing with it. It really
is okay if things aren't the same.

I just love this show! The premiere was really goot.
And yes, I finally see the Betty/Daniel romance now. It could really work now. She has grown up and he has become a good guy, not the playboy he use to be! I hope this isnt the last season! |

A 2 hour premiere was too much. I got bored midway through and fast forwarded through the second hour. I have a short attention span.

guesswhatelse wrote: I also watched the original Betty and I think the problem is that the US version is the only one that hasn't stayed true to the original story, it's not even close. This novela has a huge following of fans that follows all the versions of the original and so far it has been remade in over 20 countries and all of the versions have remained very true to the original premise but the US one. Actually, the only thing that is similar to the original is that her name is Betty and she is "ugly", everything else is different.
