made in NYC.

So the big news in “the biz” is Ugly Betty’s move from LA to New York.  This is great.  Here are my reasons.

 

1.  Soundstage and exterior recreations of NYC streets suck.  I spent a year working next to one and it looks just as fake in real life as it does on the television.  Since when did New York have Styrofoam trees?  

And what part of Manhattan are you in where the blazing sun covers every inch of the area at all hours of the day?  And why is there never a realistic amount of pedestrians on the walkway?  The television audience is getting smarter… we know when you fake LA for NY.  

 

2.  The entire show takes place in NYC.  Betty works in Manhattan and lives in Queens.  If you’re going to represent the city that has provided you with an amazing setting, why don’t you show your appreciation by creating jobs in NYC? 

3.  We have some kickass studios.  

4.  The possibility of running into Selma Hayek on the street has now increased by 100%.
