Then Julie recommended it.
(aside: I love the Netflix friend section!)
We have very similar tastes, so I thought I might give it a chance. I never really got as far as actually adding it to the queue though.
But I was browsing at the library on Wednesday, and I came across the entire first season in the DVD section.
(aside: My library is beyond fabulous.)
I checked out the first season, and I made Skeeter watch the pilot with me. He was unimpressed. As for me, I loved Betty. She was clever and confident and tenacious. I was much less impressed with the rest of the characters, but I liked Betty enough to continue. Skeeter fell asleep during the second episode, but I started to like the show even more.
I watched the entire first season in three days. Seriously. Three days. I was hooked! Part snarky gab-fest, part trashy soap opera. Loved it! Loved it! The soapy parts are so unapologetically unrealistic and fun, but really what kept me watching was that I liked Betty.
And I counted a minimum of six cliffhangers in the season finale. That's got to be a record. I'll bet that I end up buying season two when it's released.

I'm so glad you liked it! I just love that show; can't wait for sesaon two to come out. (My favorite character is ... whats-her-name... the snarky blonde receptionist. (Amanda?)
I'm always late to the pop TV thing too and also end up watching all the shows on DVD. I think it is better that way as you get to eat through the whole season in one sitting and you don't have to wade through those odd re-run weeks.
