The television programs of the United States are not the only source of inspiration for international remakes. In January of this coming year, the Middle East will be getting its own 90 episode version of 'Ugly Betty' with 'Hebal Regal El Ghorab' (which translates to 'Crow's Foot'.)
There has to be almost twenty versions of the story about a homely woman with an inner beauty all over the globe. And they can all exist in the main Toobworld, even if many of them feature the woman as being "Betty". The last names usually change, the names of the other characters are different. Her location and the type of work environment she's in are altered as well.
Most remakes of 'Yo Soy Betty La Fea' (the original series from Colombia) can be found throughout Latin America. But it can also be found in countries like India, Russia, Israel, Greece, Croatia, The Phillipines, and the Czech Republic.
