Ugly Betty: The Born Identity - open thread

I used to really be into Ugly Betty, and now ... not so much. There are just other things to watch, and that feeling of "oh, Ugly Betty is a great show I wonder what's going to happen tonight!" is just gone. I think it ended around the time that she took that hansom cab ride with that one guy though she still wanted to be with Henry. Or something. Anyway, I'm looking at it and ... Ralph Macchio is in it now?! And David Rasche?! Discuss last night's episode here.

How about the Karate Kid as Barney?

Here's an interesting piece of trivia from this weekend's story about Neil Patrick Harris in The New York Times. If he hadn't said yes to the role of Barney on How I Met Your Mother, the role would have been offered to Ralph Macchio.

Hmmm ...it's easy to sit here and say, oh, it's good Harris got it, but who knows? Maybe Macchio would have been great in the role too and would have served as sort of a resurgence for his acting career.

With all the "Barneyisms," maybe the writers could have thrown in a funny "Wax on, wax off" reference.
