If you are after a comedy that actually makes you laugh out loud, Ugly Betty is available in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on Hulu right now. 4 seasons in, and the quality has not slipped. With 284 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. America Ferrera's performance alone is worth the time investment. Start it on Disney Plus whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Ugly Betty earns its spot. The jokes in Ugly Betty land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Wannabe writer Betty Suarez is a plain girl from Queens, who is smart, hardworking and savvy but lacks a fashionable sense of style. When publishing mogul Bradford Meade puts his son Daniel in charge of Mode magazine, he hires Betty to be Daniel's new assistant -- mostly because he knows that she may be the only woman in Manhattan with whom the younger man won't sleep. Between them, America Ferrera and Eric Mabius carry the comedy without ever forcing it. 4 seasons (2006–2010) gave the story room most shows never get. The timing in Ugly Betty is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Ugly Betty respects your intelligence. Viewers who responded to Just Shoot Me! Will find a lot to like here too. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. America Ferrera anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.

Ugly Betty wrapped up in 2010, created by Silvio Horta — and 4 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
