My roomate loves ugly betty . why is it called that when shes cute

It's called Ugly Betty because the original show was called Betty La Fea. It was a Colombian comedic soap opera that was aired about 11 years ago. The idea has been copied and rereleased in Mexico, the US, and India, and probably other countries that I'm not aware of.

The show was not "canceled" because, contrary to American television, Latin American soap operas have a beginning and an end. Soap operas usually last about a year before the story ends. That makes shows much more interesting than, say, American soap operas, which go on for decades.

Isn't that Anne Hathaway movie,The Devil Wears Prada based off of that too?
 
It's a badly written show with a very common mistake:

The girl who is supposed to be ugly isn't.

Honestly. They just won't cast an ugly person in a major role, even when the Mother Fucking Title of the show demands it.

I weep for us all.

i heard the show was canceled
The U.S. version was indeed cancelled in the beginning of 2010, and the last original episode aired in April of that year. I'm sure it's running in syndication somewhere...but, the ABC show was cancelled last year, and there are no new episodes.
