The American hit TV series, "Ugly Betty" has now reached Norwegian television, and the first episode was showed tonight.
After watching the show, my first thought was: Haven't I seen this before? The plot, a misplaced nerdy girl hired as an assistant of a top fashion magazine editor, does not differ much from that of book/movie, "The Devil Wears Prada". Although the TV series certainly was exaggerated in most terms, there were more than a few obvious similarities. Even the music was the same!
Still, I must admit I found Ugly Betty quite charming and enjoyable. I will definitely not miss the next episode. Will you?

Thank you! really appreciate it:)
"Ugly betty" is based on a telenovela that was very popular in Columbia years ago. So I guess the movie/book "The devil wears prada" is based on that, rather than the other way around :)
