A Sad Day- Adios Betty Suarez.



Well, the day I was dreading has come and tonight will be the final episode of Ugly Betty.It is still a popular show, but ABC and the powers that be have said the rating have slipped, so Betty is getting the axe. Nooooooooooooo! This has been my favorite show in I don't know how long. It will be like losing family. The show I feel was always very well done, well written and the parts couldn't have been cast better. And their hasn't been this kind of fashion on tv since the Carrington's and the Colby's of Dynasty. And it has been great to watch Betty bloom and grow.




And all the characters could have a good and a bad side. But the thing I'll miss the most is the ultra stunning, beautiful and gorgeous Vanessa Williams who played Wilhelmenia Slater. Did she sink her teeth into this part or what? And how can one forget all the shenanigans her and Mark got into not to mention all the botox shots he used to give her.



Then there is Mark and Amanda and all there dramas. I really did buy there gay boy and best girl pal relationship.


The show got to me plenty also over the years like when Hilda's boyfriend and Justin's father was shot and she received the news. Or the time Daniel surprised his mother Claire with a special dinner just for the two of them. But last week took the prize when Justin finally came out to his family at his mothers wedding, by asking his boyfriend Austin to slow dance. Everyone teared up, including myself. The Boy -Toy though I was nuts. It was just so damn cute and touching and lets face it, we all wish we could have come out like that. Plus Justin also got his first kiss.


And the twist keep coming. Claire had another child? Willie was at one time ugly? But the biggest twist was when Alexis turned out to be Daniel's brother who had had a sex change. Over time, they got along great.And the part was played brilliant by Rebecca Romijn.


Then there was Hilda and all the hot men she had. I really loved her character. A smart mouth,sassy and has balls!



And how can you forget all the guest stars who came on and actually made sense to be there. Lanie Kazan, Victoria Beckham, Christian Siriarno. Not to mention all the drag queens you graced the episode where Wilhelmina found out she was being impersonated by one! Ahhhhhhhh good times. I thank ABC for the entertainment this show brought, the style, the talent. Another great show bites the dust and goes to the little place where they go in the sky. Now I will prepare to watch the final episode and then go salk in a corner somewhere. Thanks for the memories Ugly Betty.

  1. I'm going to miss this show so much! Why can't they leave good shows alone and let us keep them instead of that MBA mentality all the time?

  3. I agree. This show shouldn't be going off yet. It is very entertaining. I don't think we will be seeing many quirky shows like this anymore. Just hang on Mistress, it will be fine.

  10. It is a cute show and anything with Judith Light is entertaining. Well maybe not Who's The Boss, but most things. I'll miss it.

  11. We will really miss the show Maddie. It is one of our all time favs. It just makes us smile and laugh, like no other show does. Everything about it felt like it had been made just for us, and for our pure enjoyment. It isn't too often you get that feeling from entertainment.

  12. Yes, Steve, I will sure miss this show, too. I loved, loved it. I see it is being replaced with another scarey and gorey show "Happy Town". We had a happy town with Betty and her cast. It made you laugh, feel good, cry and all the other human emotions but I guess America doesn't want that. They would cancel it for another stupid nonsensical drama.

  13. Yea, I'm upset int's going off too, but at least ABC ended the show and just didn't pull the plug and yank it off the air with ending it. I thought the show ended one a good note and I liked it.

  14. I have to admit but I'm not a huge television watcher, but I did watch this. It was one of the few show that featured such wonderful fashion and some of the best dressed charcters to grace the tube. I'll miss it. What a great tribute.

  15. They did a great job of wrapping this show up in style & class. The last 2 episodes were funny & emotional. I cried at the wedding & I was made happy by the ending.
    I went to college with Tony Plana. he was always a really good actor, but he was serious then.

    What will we do on Wed. nights?
