UGLY BETTY PRODUCER: Musical Episode and Betty Stops WICKED.

Wow, exciting much?? Although I didn't appreciate how they worded "And When Curtains ends." Surely the show won't close when Pierce leaves. More Patti, yay!

and let us not forget that Season 1 of Ugly Betty comes on DVD on August 21st. yay!

Love it! I hope this show stays on for a long, long time. I hope to see Betty with her braces off, running Mode after 10 seasons. Heh.

That's odd that Wicked is being shown in an ABC show if it's produced by NBC universal. I suppose it's because it's a popular show. It appeals to a wide range of people. If a date took me to Wicked I'd be thrilled.

I'm definatley going to watch the show, I don't normally watch it except for the odd times when someone I love is on like Patti or Kristin.

I like the way UGLY BETTY handles the guest stars though. They do not get in the way of the story-telling or the center of the show. Salma Hayek was the only guest star that became a central character for the time she was on and that's because she's one of the producers and I'm sure it was a way to help her show take flight.
I would just love to see Bernadette Peters as Becki Newton's (Amanda) foster mother or Judith Light's old drunken sister. She was great on Ally McBeal but unfortunately was completely wasted on WILL & GRACE (a show that got out of control in terms of guest-star, by the end the writers had no idea how to put them in the show).
I hope they get some Donna Murphy in there too and since it's ABC, Deb Monk is bound to appear (having already guest-starred on GREY'S ANATOMY and DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES).

Exactly, I think it's one of the few theater references that a wide audience would actually get and feel happy with. Plus there's the whole Betty/Elphaba parallel.

I can't wait for this episode!! I love all of the Broadway references! :)

that is going to be sooo good. i absolutely love ugly betty.
if they get all those great guest stars, plus they already have vanessa williams who is great.
i cant wait for that one!

Wow, I can't wait for UGLY BETTY to return! I love the show so much...and now I don't have a Thursday night class so I can actually watch it on TV rather than online. I can't wait for Betty to go to Wicked (hopefully with the rather adorkable Henry) and the musical episode. I hope they can bring back both Patti and Kristin. That would be awesome!

Is this the show that features a beautiful actress 'uglied up', because gods forbid they cast an ugly actress? The one that has a ludicrously flaming gay stereotype, and everybody acts like it's some bold statement? Yeah, I can't get behind that.

"Because it's the big, fat, colossal, monster hit show of the moment (and whole lotta other moments), that's why."

Don't forget redundant, too.

On the record I think America F. is kinda plain, I've never disagreed with her in the role (not to be mean, just *MO*).

But I'm so excited for this muscial episode!!! YAY!!!!!
