"Taste is having the courage of your own convictions"
True words.....from Wilhelmina Slater ( Vanessa Williams) of Ugly Betty (yes, Ugly Betty!) This show has been so seriously good this season (after a brief lapse of said taste), I can't believe it's being cancelled!
My husband and I have watched this show since the beginning...and yes, it is a wonderful parody of the fashion world and its intrigues - all the while hosting a humble, naive girl, who in the end triumphs over all and opens the eyes of the jaded ones.
What will we do now, that TV has gone back to the pablum of Reality shows of wasted brains and no script mentalitys...what UGLY BETTY shows us, is the quick wit of WRITERS, the beauty and en-pointe delivery by ACTORS, and the sumptous cacophony of colors, furnishings and clothing by ART DIRECTORS, SET DESIGNERS and STYLISTS.
This is why Hollywood is dying, no one loves ART and BEAUTY and GLAMOUR, just dividends, profit sheets and less taxes that other states offer...what is 2-3 million vs. 200,000 for a reality show per episode, BORING!
Will miss Amanda, Mark and La Slater...what about little Suzuki St. James?
When I've watched the show, I have laughed so much!The Actors characters are all perfect in their parts! Sometimes I don't get what the network execs are thinking!

ReplyDeleteI agree, UB is a wonderful show, made truly delightful by the deliciously-evil Wilhhemina Slater. Vanessa Williams rocks the house!
