S1E1 Pilot + Richard Shepard | Viva Betty: An Ugly Betty Rewatch

Mark and Ana dig into the very first episode of Ugly Betty. The memories flow as they revisit all the iconic introductions, establishing the Suarez family dynamic, the incredible acting performances that stand the test of time, and the cultural attitudes (like body shaming) that definitely do NOT. Then, they speak to Pilot director Richard Shepard about going against his agent's advice, creating the look and feel of Ugly Betty, and the best audition he's ever seen (hint: Hilda!).

Ugly Betty was more than just a show - it was a revolution. Bold, heartfelt, and unapologetically real, it gave us characters that shattered stereotypes and told stories that mattered, putting a working-class Latino family, the immigrant experience, and LGBTQ+ stories front and center.

Now, Ana Ortiz and Mark Indelicato—aka Hilda and Justin —are sitting down to rewatch the show that changed their lives and ours. With fresh eyes and zero filter, they’re revisiting every messy moment, iconic outfit, and groundbreaking storyline, one episode at a time. This isn’t just a nostalgia trip. It’s a love letter to the show that made being different feel like a superpower.
