...Ugly Betty, Season 1 (2006)

About two-thirds of the way through Season 1, Ugly Betty, a smart and funny television series about the fashion industry and the people who work in it started with a story line or two with unbelievable plot twists that were reminiscent of daytime soap operas. Although this ridiculous aspect of the series was oft-putting, the acting is very good and the scripts are funny and well-written. Mainly though, the characters are complex people (with each having good and bad characteristics) that I really cared about - and you will too.

...The Devil Wears Prada (2006)

An excellent cast, a believable script, and a fun industry to dissect coalesce to make The Devil Wears Prada an extremely watchable and charming movie. Meryl Streep straps on the sunglasses for a merry-go-round performance, alongside Anne Hathaway's believable transformation, Emily Blunt's comic foil, and Stanley Tucci's gay, giving this movie something for everyone. I even shed a few tears - lovely.
