I saw a few episodes of this show and I'm not pleased. Although Betty is trying to set a good example, there is too much sexual content and themes that are not appropriate for kids under 14-15. The language is another problem. Wake up people, I don't care if it seems the norm it's disrespectful. Yes it's the fashion industry but its also materialistic. I feel it sets the wrong values for kids and would not recommend it for kids under 14-15.

Truly a heartwarming show, featuring a woman going above and beyond for family and friends again and again, almost always putting others before herself. It actually addresses any issues that it may raise, such as excessive materialism, cut throat business politics, and serial dating. I think its appropriate for pretty much all ages as long as the parents are not afraid about discussing sex with their kids. Overall it's a great show.

I like the show and so do both of my kids. I don't like the language and definitely all the sexual inuendos. I don't think the word B---h and whore is used in the work place all the time like in this show. I like that Betty rises above all of that and doesn't fall to the peer pressure. Those are the qualities I want my kids to learn about. Those are the parts of the show we focus on as a family while watching. I wish the show could be cleaned up.

For the exact reason that others don't want their kids to see it, I think it's essential for kids to see this show. Why? Every time the show comes on, my six year old says "They just call her ugly betty, but really she's beautiful!" This show, more than most others on the tv today, can teach tolerance. No matter what others do, Betty stays true to herself, and affects those around her in a positive way. She doesn't care if you're gay, black, white, hispanic, male, female, transvestite (one character had a sex change!), she will still, ALWAYS, give you more than a second chance. My daughter and I watch the show together. It gives us a chance to talk about things on her level. Last night, when Daniel "lost" to his sister, he went to a bar to drink. My daughter was able to voice her opinions of drinking, and we were able to talk about the reasons the character was drinking, and what has changed to the character to make him think he needed to do that again. When his brother returned from the "dead" as a woman, it gave us an opportunity to talk about different people and the mean ways that some people treat others in this world. All in all, a great show that helps teach social tolerance on a level that no one else has managed to do before!

The show contains some sex, but is a great show for kids my age and some under.
