Comments on: NBC Hopes For The Next “Ugly Betty” http://www.theprimetimedish.com/2007/06/18/nbc-hopes-for-the-next-ugly-betty/ Ranting And Raving About Primetime TV Thu, 20 Nov 2008 12:43:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Hélène http://www.theprimetimedish.com/2007/06/18/nbc-hopes-for-the-next-ugly-betty/#comment-751 Hélène Wed, 20 Jun 2007 05:03:27 +0000 http://www.theprimetimedish.com/?p=185#comment-751 At first, my thoughts are, ok, make the selfconscious flat girls, even more self-conscious. But then again, it's a comedy. We probably see this flat chested girl as the beautiful girl that she really is. If they bought the rights, and it's a great hit! I can't imagine why it wouldn't be a hit here too! Unless it would be too politically incorrect. At first, my thoughts are, ok, make the selfconscious flat girls, even more self-conscious.

See the way they have failed on the "MyNetwork" channels... I think that there is potential for this to work though. Yet look at the schedules in general. Ifo ne network finds a good show that has a marketable thing or something that can be duplicated in some way, there are always take offs. BJ and The Bear and Dukes Of Hazzard starteed on tv about a season apart, both of them had a "good old boy vs corrrput cops" type storyline. The CSI & Law and Order are another more recent example. The PI shows of the 70s-80s are another. The key is going to bring something new for this while staying true to the concept of the show.

I think they can strike gold again. Honestly, these “novelas” are sometimes more interesting than some TV shows. I think they can strike gold again.

A family show that anyone can relate to that also directly markets itself to many untapped viewers in a warm and realistic way...Ugly Betty is amazing. I don't see them striking gold twice, personally. I hate to judge things before seeing them, but they hit gold with Ugly Betty.
