Product Description Join Emmy(R) and Golden Globe(R) Award winner America Ferrera in the acclaimed comedy that will have you laughing out loud and cheering for TV's favorite fish out of water. It's a year of change for Betty and her friends at MODE. With the future of the magazine up in the air, a new roommate and the ever-changing carousel of office relationships spinning faster than ever, Betty's life is full of surprises. On top of it all, Betty's move to the big city has her wondering whether she truly belongs in her new fast-paced world. Dive into the vibrant scene of high fashion with the most charismatic cast on television. Experience every episode of Season Three, complete with never-before-seen bonus features, in this six-disc set. Full of fun and bursting with heart -- you can't help but fall for UGLY BETTY! .com With this third-season boxed set (24 episodes, plus bonus material, on six discs), Ugly Betty continues one of television's most adroit balancing acts. Is the series, which chronicles the urban adventures of young Betty Suarez (American Ferrera), the archetypal fish out of water making her way through the cutthroat world of high fashion, a comedy? A nighttime soap opera? A serious drama? Well, yes. There are a lot of other words to describe it--outrageous, flamboyant, tender, absurd, cartoony, poignant, arch, bright, kinetic--but most of all, Ugly Betty remains compulsively watchable because it's entertaining, pure and simple. As ever, the show does a nimble job of simultaneously maintaining multiple plot lines. Some of them last nearly the entire season, like Betty's leaving the family house in Queens to live on her own in a Manhattan apartment, the struggles of Meade Publications, parent company of Mode Magazine (Betty's principal employer), to deal with ongoing financial issues (exacerbated by a major embezzlement sub-plot in mid-season), or the endless power plays involving villainess Wilhelmina Slater (Vanessa Williams) and various members of the Meade family. Other developments, and there are many, unfold over just a few episodes. Some of the best of these are Betty's re-acquaintance with Kimmie (a perfectly cast Lindsay Lohan), a former high school nemesis whom Betty helps find a job; Betty's membership in the Young Editors Training Program (YETI), which brings her into conflict with Marc (Michael Urie), Wilhelmina's flagrantly gay assistant; numerous Suarez family issues, including father Ignacio's (Tony Plana) heart attack; and, of course, the tangled love lives of Betty and virtually every other character of note. Through it all, Betty is awkward, naive, and hopelessly unhip, but also smart, creative, and sincere; she remains the one beacon of purity in a world where everyone's out to get everyone else.Ugly Betty is beautifully crafted--it's well-written, nicely acted, and deftly edited, and the bonus material (deleted scenes, episode commentary, bloopers, etc.) is fine (newcomers will be grateful for the "starter kit," which introduces the major characters and storylines). One wonders, though, how long it can sustain itself. If Betty finally blossoms into "normality," the show's over; but if the emphasis on cutesy quirks continues, there's sure to be some shark-jumping in the near future. Stay tuned for further developments. --Sam Graham

Nothing But Love For Betty
I have to say much of the average Tv fair just doesn't hold my interest. So when "Ugly Betty" came along and Freinds said " I had to watch it" I took it was a grain of salt. I think the main reason I did turn in was I had been a Fan of the Music of Vanessa Williams. SO 4 years ago I put the show on and 1/2 durning the show I moved to right in front of the tv (No Answering Email durning UB) and there I have stayed for all three seasons.I read that for many "Betty" lost it's edge for many last year and I don't understand that. I did feel if anything Season 2 (with the writing strike) was the weaker of the 3 seasons and Season three was right back on track-but I guess that's par for the course while I go "HUH?" to "The Office" that others love, I am still all about "betty" and so many have moved on. I do hope we get at least 5 seasons as I still find this the best hour on tv.

Awesome.
I've been waiting to see Season 3 for quite some time. For unknown reasons it was never released here in NZ on DVD. I'd forgotten how funny Season 3 was until I finally got the DVD. I fell in love witht the show from Season 1 and watched every episode through to the end of Season 2.The character of Betty is very inspirational - she knows her values and won't compromise them. She speaks out and is not afraid of trying. She learns her lessons and trys to make her life and her family's life better. The character inspires me each time I watch an episode. It is such a pity that the show only went for 4 Seasons. It was well written, well filmed and extremely well cast. Although some of the story lines were a bit beyond belief, the show as a whole was a joy to watch. I recommend Ugly Betty to everyone - it's the sort of show which lifts you up when you are down. Definately one of the best comedy shows in recent years.

Ugly Betty- I Want More!!!
This is a brilliant show and the third season will not disappoint. The show was actually filmed in New York City for this and the final seasons, and the change is very subtle but wonderful. All the characters of the Betty world seem more...well New York. It is filled of course with great Betty moments, quips from lovable Mark and Amanda, and Wilhelmina being a B*&$@, as we love her. The cast is amazing and I could say how much I love them all, because I do.The simple explanation is that this season is a joy. If you love Betty you'll love this season as well, and when its over be left wanting for more!

Love this show
Love this show. Never finished watching the entire series due to military deployment interupting the show. Then never picked it back up. While on another deployment I picked up the entire series and fell in love all over again. Now I have my entire team HOOKED on this show. They eagerly wait each episode and try to predict what happens. They love getting caught up in all the suspense/drama of the show.Highly recommend picking up the whole series. Fun for all!

Awesome show!!!
I love this show. I used to order the DVDs from netflix back in the day when it was not available on stream. It is definitely one of my favorite shows. When getting close to the end of second season, i decided i was going to be impatient and order the entire season from amazon. It was a great price and i was able to enjoy it without waiting for the next DVD to arrive.
