...the kiss of death was the idiotic choice to (and probably deliberate to destroy it by ABC) show move to Friday nights at the beginning of the Fall season...
...What kind of audience is home on a Friday night?!? Friday night TV is for family shows like "Full House" not shows with gay and transsexual characters and murder/sex/bed hopping like Ugly Betty...
...This show won critical praise in it's first season. It had style, comedy, heart, major plot twists and was extremely gay friendly...and stars like Betty White, Salma Hayek, Kathy Griffin, singer Shakira, Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, Karate Kid Ralph Macchio, actor Kevin Alejandro (about to play the gay vampire on True blood), Gina Gershon, Lindsay Lohan, Debi Mazar, designer Isaac Mizrahi, Martha Stewart, Project Runway's Tim Gun, American Idol singer Katherine McPhee, Kill Bill actress Lucy Liu, Modern Family's gay husband Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Jerry O'Connell, Broadway legend Patti LuPone, Will & Grace's "Beverly Leslie" actor Leslie Jordan, Oscar winning actress and "OZ" HBO star Rita Moreno, Kristen Chenoweth, Basketball athlete Rick Fox, designer Kenneth Cole, actor Victor Garber, James Van Der Beek, "That Girl" Marlo Thomas, designer Vera Wang, rapper Bow Wow, Ghostbuster and Designing Women actress Annie Potts, Rocky Horror actor Barry Bostwick, KISS rocker Gene Simmons, Project Runway winner Christian Siriano, Larry King, Supermodel Naomi Campbell, Regis Philbin, Kelly Ripa, her hunky husband Mark Consuelos, Hairspray's Nikki Blonsky, Mama Mia's Christine Baranski, singer Adele, Joy Behar, Billie Jean King, Saturday Night Live's Rachel Dratch, Antonio Sabato Jr, Rachel Maddow...
...And let's not forget the amazing cast with America Ferrera, Rebecca Romijn, Eric Mabius, Vanessa Williams, Michael Urie, Becki Newton, Judith Light, Ana Ortiz, Mark Indelicato and others---too many more to mention...
...this show was fun but, balanced the crazy drama with Betty and the others trying to do the right thing in a world that treats you like shit, and throwing some moments where we can all laugh. Main gay character Marc St James is that judgemental gay guy we all know who is struggling for career success and finding the right guy...
...the beautiful Rebecca Romijn best known as Mystique from the X-men...
...played transsexual Alexis Meade. As a man Alex Meade faked his death and spent 2 years in hiding while having multiple surgeries to become the female Alexis, and unveiled herself in the first season to her shocked brother and family...
...and there isn't a super villain around who can stand up to the crafty main villain of the show Wilhelmina Slatter...
...Wilhelmina has fired more people, crushed more dreams, plotted to destroy more careers, to ruin her competition with a super computer virus, tried to marry into power, stole a dead man's sperm to birth a baby and attempted to gain his wealth, punched and beaten more assistants, slammed Betty White's hand in a car door, well the woman has done it all...
...It was just a great show to escape from reality each week, with costumes by "Sex and the City" and "the Devil wears Prada" costumer to the stars the great Patricia Fields ...
...AND.................................................................LET'S NOT FORGET......................................................the regular hunks, hotties, man candy, studs and male model skin that would parade through episodes from time to time....................
...well, the only good news is that ABC has decided to let the show finish out it's fourth season which gives the writers of the show time to write a finale to this series that will be fitting of the cast of characters and storylines over the past seasons. Maybe, some previous stars and characters will make returning appearences to help end this show with some style. Blah...I'll miss it. But, at least it will always live forever on dvd.
...Now, what should I watch? Any ideas people?
