Orlando. Both spots will run in Spanish.

both shows. The award-winning quot;Desperate Housewivesquot; will

quot;Ugly Bettyquot; will have its series premiere on Thursday,
September 28th (8/7c). quot;Ugly Bettyquot; is based on a Colombian
telenovela, quot;Yo Soy Betty La Fea,quot; and adapted into an American
setting by producer Salma Hayek.
