flowers on the grave

I was a dedicated watcher of UGLY BETTY until the program was dropped due to falling ratings........gay men as wise counselor (marc st james); the first sensitive depiction of the process of "coming out" (justin suarez) in a supportive and nourishing home environment; an "ugly" heroine that becomes an icon for fair play, even-headedness and restrained ambitions (betty suarez)......many, many firsts for prime time.   Perfect casting, a great musical soundtrack, delightful editing and wacko costuming.......I wish it had gone on and on until its characters died in old age........I can only imagine Betty's new European life........a sequel is not likely......damn it.......no more of wondrous Judith Light and Vanessa Williams, flawlessly cast......Well, it was just perfect and created hope in my heart, for sure......
