Why Ugly Betty might be annoying
It is based on a popular Colombian telenovela (Yo soy Betty, la fea).
It is a campy show featuring several over-the-top storylines.
One storyline focused on a character who had gender reassignment surgery.
The sexual ambiguity of Justin, Betty's pre-teen nephew, proved controversial.
It may enforce the stereotype that ugly people are kind and beautiful people are mean.
It had few actors with name recognition when it premiered.
Many critics predicted it would flop.
Executive producer Salma Hayek wrote herself into the series during season one.
It spawned the catchphrase 'Be Ugly.'
Why Ugly Betty might not be annoying
It won the Golden Globe Award for best television comedy (2006-07).
It was one of the highest rated new shows on network television for the 2006-07 season.
It tactfully deals with serious issues like health care, immigration and standards of beauty.
It is one of few successful shows with an ordinary looking woman as the lead.
It pushes the envelope with its politically incorrect humor.
It was praised for successfully mixing slapstick, satire and melodrama.
The Meade family may be a parody of the Condé Nast publishing empire.
