Ugly Betty was a popular American TV show that mixed comedy and drama. It won important awards like the Golden Globe and Peabody Award. The show starred America Ferrera, Vanessa Williams, and Eric Mabius. It first aired on September 28, 2006, in the United States on the ABC network.
The story of Ugly Betty followed the life of a kind and smart young woman named Betty Suarez (played by America Ferrera). She got a job at a very fancy and stylish fashion magazine in New York City called "Mode". Betty often felt like a "fish out of water" because she was different from the super-fashionable people around her. This difference made the show very funny and interesting. Ugly Betty finished on April 14, 2010, after its ratings dropped during its fourth season.
