Ugly Betty: The Complete First Season - The Bettyfied Edition

Catch Up Before the Next Season Premieres And Learn About the Hot Stars With Behind-the-Scenes Bonus Features

BURBANK, Calif., June 1, 2007 - ABC Television's newest critically acclaimed primetime series will debut on DVD August 21 from Buena Vista Worldwide Home Entertainment. The complete first season of Ugly Betty will include behind-the-scenes bonus features so revealing viewers will feel like they're on-set.

This DVD set, priced at $59.99 SRP in the U.S. and $87.99 SRP in Canada, is perfect for fans of the show or new viewers who are catching up on all the drama and excitement before the start of the sophomore season.

America is cheering for vibrant overachiever Betty Suarez a.k.a. Ugly Betty, played by America Ferrera ("The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants"). Winner of two Golden Globes®, Ugly Betty received statuettes for Best Television Series, Musical or Comedy and Best Actress in a Television Series, Musical or Comedy for Ferrera.

Ugly Betty is the ultimate story of a square peg in a universe of round holes. The bespectacled Betty Suarez is the true beauty in the skin-deep world of high fashion, but she toils as the assistant to dashing womanizer Daniel Meade (Eric Mabius), editor-in-chief of fashion industry bible "MODE." Both are newcomers to the ultra-competitive fashion scene, and need to constantly beat back attacks from their jealous enemies—fashion diva Wilhelmina (former Miss America Vanessa Williams), her toadying assistant Marc (Michael Urie) and conniving receptionist Amanda (Becki Newton). Away from the glitz of Manhattan, Betty lives in Queens with her family—her loving father Ignacio (Tony Plana), spitfire sister Hilda (Ana Ortiz) and fashion-obsessed nephew Justin (Mark Indelicato)—who lend her support whenever she is in need.

Get into the MODE with 23 episodes on this 6-disc DVD. "Must-have" bonus features include "Becoming Ugly", in which Ferrera and the cast discuss what it means to get Bettyfied. Plus, get the real behind-the-scenes scoop with "A La Mode" and "Green is the New Black," which explore the fashion, sets and magic that go into creating the show. The DVD will also feature deleted scenes, audio commentaries, bloopers and a Spanish audio track.

Ugly Betty: The Complete Second Season

The Second Season basically picks up right where the First Season left off... Daniel and Alexis are alive after their accident, but are hospitalized; Claire and Yoga are on the run; Ignacio is still stuck in Mexico; Hilda and Justin are recovering from the aftermath of losing Santos; Amanda is searching for her real father; and Wilhelmina, with Marc's help, is still trying to take over the Meade empire. Through all of this, Betty is trying to be there to help the people she cares about, but she's got her own dramas to deal with... primarily her on-again-off-again relationship with Henry, and sparks will fly between Betty and the new "sandwich guy" at the Mode offices, Gio Rossi, a passionate guy who shows Betty another side of herself that she didn't know existed.

  • Wilhelmina Slater: Love To Hate Her — Conniving, backstabbing, two-faced—Wilhelmina is the fashion world's most irresistible villainess!

  • Betty Bloops — A new name for everybody's favorite feature—only this time, the actors explain exactly what went wrong (it wasn't their fault!) before clips of hilariously messed-up moments!
