I'm sitting here doin some editing and no really paying much attention to the tv...I keep hearing this annoying popup video (blmoimp) noise..and it's a soap opera with a witch, a kid who can speak through pop up speech bubbles and all other kinds of other completely random s%#^. Do people actually watch this. What has happened to tv?:huh:

Thats all for now.
 
Sounds like "Passions" on NBC Daytime. That is the wierdest show. Seriously.
I will have to say that I agree with you to the extent that it is definatly up there in the running for "worst show ever".


- Mikko ... works for part time for a NBC station, unfotunaly that means occastionly seeing the screen during programs. - NBC Late Night rocks though.
 
Nielson only works if hes a nielson family, they dont care about us regular schmoes.

Nielson ratings say you are watching it, so the ads are getting out there.

When I saw an ad for Ugly Betty, I knew that we had hit a new low.

...also, I (entirely by accident) caught the last 2 minutes of an episode of Fashion House. I don't have the words...

so are you trying to say it's bad?
 
Her agent should have warned her about getting type-cast.

Two shows spring to mind... Punky Brewster, Small Wonder (is that what it was called? The one with the robot daughter)... oh and what was that show with the stupid robot kid that had the cartoon voice like speed buggy? Man that show made me want to kill myself... even as a small child... seriously when that show came on, if I couldn't get away from it I would start to weigh philosophical arguments about life and death... which was odd for a 7 or 8 year old kid... but hey "woogie woogie woogie"...?
 
I think that's the idea honestly... clearly they also brushed her eyebrows up to be pointy and jaggy... just to butch her up a bit. Plus zero make-up?

I'm sure Ugly Betty isn't really all that ugly... I mean let's face it... the odds are that a casting couch was involved somewhere along the way.






Kidding... kidding... but yes UB probably isn't all that ugly really. If the show becomes popular and people start yelling "UGLY BETTY" when she walks down the street she'll need therapy.

Here's a million dollar idea that would be too complex for 90% of america, but would be funny as hell for the 10% that would actually get the joke... have a show modeled after ugly betty... but have it be the anti-sitcom... anti-moral point show... have a character that seems destined to make good points and moral arguments from this accessable, "every man or woman" POV, but have the moral points falling flat every time... like nobody can get any of them because they're so judgmental of the character's appearance. The ugly star keeps trying to teach the world lessons, which he/she thinks they're learning... but as soon as she leaves the show reveals that her looks are the ONLY thing anybody was thinking about... then they resume whatever it was... you know... like she would come wondering into a seal clubbing scene... get everybody crying with morality... and then when she leaves everybody is wiping the tears because they thought she was so ugly... then the scene cuts just as everybody is raising their clubs again...

Ideally she would be the only one speaking english... and the subtitles would reveal that everybody was just fixated on her ugliness.

Sorry... maybe I need to switch back to caffinated.
 
Ha! No, I get it. If you are an Amy Sedaris fan (I'm a big fan of hers and her brother David Sedaris) you would like STRANGERS WITH CANDY. Shes a "boozer, a user, and no loser".
 
Kudos, Horse, for digging that pic up.

Once again an example of how they are saying to all kids: "If you have to wear braces (to improve your teeth's straightness) or wear eye-glasses (to improve vision), you are automatically ugly.
Well, isn't that nice!

P.S.: ever notice how ALL "bad guys" are UGLY and ALL "good guys" are handsome/pretty? Disney is particulary guilty of this.
 
Wasn't "Betty" one of the Traveling Pants girls?

You'd think with all the hoorah about Geisha and Miss Saigon and whatever, some of the really ugly actresses would have banded together and complained about the casting.

Oh, yeah. Toss Love Potion #9 into there, too. Putting glasses on Sandra doesn't make her ugly.
 
America whatever her name is is from Real Women Have Curves. Ugly Betty is a franchise that originated as a telenovela in latin America and is now being franchised globally. I think they made it as a movie a few years back and it was called Bridget Jones's Diary.

I think Ugly Betty looks terrible. But I am a guy. Trust me, ABC knew that no guy would ever watch this show. They don't care, their key demo for Ugly is 18-49 women and they nail it. Why? It's a classic female underdog formula blah blah blah.

Now Heroes, I dig it!
