American TV series, based on Fernando Gaitán’s Colombian telenovela Yo soy Betty, la fea. Apparently the scripts have been franchised to many countries.
Need more details about the marital situation on Dad, but apparently the son relies on Dad for finances and a job and a home, so he’s definitely a dependent.
Dad hires plain-jane Betty (America Ferrera) to keep an eye on son Daniel’s doings. Hilarity ensues, or something. Based on a really popular South American dramedy.
A welcome return for second-time TV Single Dad Tony Plana – – we last saw him doing the single dad bit on Showtimes Resurrection Blvd.
