Ugly Betty and The Best New Television Shows of 2006 Are on ABC
Ugly Betty on ABC Thursday night at 8
Ugly Betty is the surprise of the season. America Ferrera stars as Betty, a not so beautiful girl trying to make her way into the fashion industry. Betty will fight through this brutal industry and touch the lives and hearts of many rather than be forced to change herself. This television show is heartwarming and hilarious. Not to mention, Vanessa Williams also appears on Ugly Betty and does a fantastic job of being the "fashion bitch." Ugly Betty is heartwarming and is sure to be welcomed into the Thursday night lineup.
The NINE on ABC Wednesday night at 10
The NINE is an amazing drama about nine people locked in a bank as two brothers attempt to carry out a robbery. They spend fifty-two hours inside the bank. The NINE revolves around what happened in the bank and how it is affecting the lives of everyone afterwards. The fifty-two hour ordeal is unraveled little by little each week. An all-star cast includes Scott Wolf, Tim Daly, Camille Guaty, and Kim Raver among many others. The NINE is proving to be one of the best new television shows of 2006.
Six Degrees on ABC Thursday night at 10
Six Degrees is a television show that revolves around six strangers whose lives are interconnected even though they may not know it. Each character has his or her own story and each individual story keeps the viewer interested. The cast includes Erika Christensen, Hope Davis, Jay Hernandez, Dorian Missick, Bridget Moynahan, and Campbell Scott. This incredible cast, combined with the storyline, has produced a television show that is one of the best new television shows of 2006.
Men In Trees on ABC Friday night at 9
Men In Trees is a new drama starring Anne Heche as Marin First, a famed relationship writer who has recently broken up with her fiancée. Needing a break, Marin travels to the small town of Elmo, Alaska to write her newest book. Elmo is a very small town with very few women. Marin becomes the local celebrity, and works on figuring out love from an entirely different perspective. Men In Trees is witty and the characters are loveable. While this show is probably not award winning, it is certainly entertaining. Men In Trees is one of the best new television shows of 2006.
Brothers & Sisters on ABC Sunday night at 10
Brothers & Sisters is a great new drama about the dysfunctional life of family. The all-star cast includes Sally Field, Calista Flockhart, Rachel Griffiths, Ron Rifkin, and Balthazar Getty among other very talented actors and actresses. There is so much conflict among the family, but through it all they remain tight and love each other very much. Brothers & Sisters brings a real life feel to family life while keeping the storyline appealing. Brothers & Sisters has thus far been one of the best new television shows of 2006.

Post a CommentI LOVE Ugly Betty. Great list!
Brothers & Sisters sounds great, but anything with sally Field in it promises to be good. Thanks for the guide on shows that I didn't even know existed.
I'm a huge Men in Trees fan! I never really liked Anne Heche, but she's totally different in this show!
I have heard a lot of the buzz about "Ugly Betty" since it first came on. I hadn't thought that much about watching it, but, with your description of it, it makes me curious now. so I will try to tune it next time it airs.
I had no idea what The Nine was about. Now I want to see it! Thanks!
I haven't actually seen any of these shows, but this is a good guide. Thanks.
My family loves Ugly Betty. It is my thirteen-year-old daughter's favorite new show. I hope the show's writers don't change her too much. I think she's a wonderful role model in the midst of all that peer pressure.
Heather, "Brothers and Sisters" is a wonderful show. Of course, it's the only one on your list that I've seen, but I'm also still into "Lost," another fabulous ABC show. Thanks for the info on the others, but sigh...I'm afraid I don't have time to become addicted to any more new shows. :)
