Feeling Blue About Betty

It started so well, it seemed like a hilarious weekly take on Zoolander with a tad of mystery thrown in and it looked set to transform the DMZ that is Friday-night C4. However, despite being three episodes in, we've only seen one story in Ugly Betty. Betty makes a fool of herself, Betty is bullied but then Betty saves the day. I'm hoping forthcoming episodes will deviate on this formula and give the fabulous America Ferrera more to do than smile desperately before falling over. That said, there are still a fair few laugh-out loud moments in each episode, which is far more than pretty much anything else on C4 at the moment. Bar the refreshed Desperate Housewives, of course... Come on Betty - please give us a reason to keep watching. We need more zany, egocentric characters, more suspense on the Fey Sommers mystery, and more of a sense that our heroine could actually fail one episode.
