Sure, get in the EIC and Creative Director of Elle alongside Naomi Campbell to guest star, and someone else who looks like she has an English sister called Annie. I’m giving myself that “long” opener because it is only the fourth of…

To quote Edwin Hawkins, oh happy day! Returning for only her third episode of Ugly Betty before leaving after “The Wiener, the Bun and the Boob,” which once again should have that Oxford comma. It is Wendey Standzler, who previously did Monk,…

I swear, I’m going to kill someone by the end of this review. I don’t know who, but it certainly won’t be Claire. It will feel odd if I moan about direction this week, as “Betty’s Baby Bump” was Linda Mendoza’s only episode…

“Oh my god, it’s Betty White,” no, she’s Hispanic, and Henry is her White. Here we go again with lines that will get me canceled. Directed by Michael Spiller, Spiller previously directed “In or Out,” and this is his second of five…
