I am not currently watching, but is it true that Betty is from Jackson Heights?

Quite possibly - I am multitasking, so not catching every word.

I wasn't expecting to like it this much, JB2. And I'll probably never get to see it again.

I thankfully set my VCR before I left for work this morning, because I'm still at work!!

My VCR doesn't love me anymore, so I can't count on it.

It is almost verbatim Devil Wears Prada - the book, anyway. I haven't seen the film.

SHE IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sometimes... once in a while (Wonderfalls, The Comeback, Passions, Six Feet Under) something really hits home for me. This might be it!!!

JB2, her name is America Ferrara, and she first came to prominence as the star of Real Women Have Curves, and went on to a leading role in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

The one thing I don't like about her casting (although I think her acting is impeccable - not a false note) is that you can tell, through all the effort not to show it, that she's really adorable. Someday perhaps an actual ugly person will play an ugly person.

Yes, I agree with that. Not sure I'll continue to watch; but I really did enjoy it.

I enjoyed it. It was pretty much what I expected. I guess I'll keep watching.

Nothing will ever to Heather Mattazzaro in "Welcome to the Dollhouse," in it's honesty. Attractive playing ugly is like straight playing gay. It's too easy.

Yup, she was one unattractive kid.

She's come into her own though - she looks pretty hot these days.
