Ugly Betty seems to be a bit like Ally McBeal - only the office politics are set in the world of fashion and the lead character looks no stranger to a sandwich and hence more normal sized. Slightly worried we are only ever a few seconds away from a "why, Ms Suarez, you are beautiful after all" moment.
To be honest, so far I quite like it and I love all the slightly unexpected actors who seem to pop up. We have already had the wonderful Ashley Jensen (the funny one from Extras) as 'the good colleague' and the delightful Dawn Tinsley/Hayley from the Archers (Lucy Davis) as 'Fashion TV Anchor'.
However, you have to admire how well that Jim Robinson has done - CIA spook (X files), NCIS Director (NCIS) and he's even been made the Vice President of the USA (24), which is technically illegal as US Presidents/Vice Presidents have to born in the USA. He may now have become a magazine magnate, but for some of us his finest hour was as Marissa's step dad.
Not bad for a family man from Erinsborough.
