Not seen Ugly Betty either so that clue's redundant to me.

Me too but I think Richard B is still enjoying his weekend. I'm always stumped on TV clues unless it's sports or nerd shows.

Richard B, you've officially stumped everyone I think. But I've narrowed it down to 2999 possible fish.

sorry, no

The genus has been used before in this game- the first part of the genus shares part of the title of an awful Queen single from the 1980s.
