I've watched the show - Overall, I expected it be better.
The caveat I have - if young people are watching - will they be willing to help senior citizens when the ask for help? |
I think the pranks would be funny if it werent for the crudeness and language.

I love this show it is on my recording schedule.
It is refreshing to see older people having fun, playing pranks and have a great laugh instead of seeing the usual depressing old age person walking slowly with their canes, looking like they are just waiting to die. I love seeing them still enjoying life and have a great time doing it. I sure hope I will be having fun like this....hum I am heading to that age range pretty fast....... Not offended at all by language or pranks as it is actually REAL life. Old age peaple are not just sitting there being perfect being role models :-) all the time.... The baby boomers are coming to that age.... Remember sex drugs and rocknroll? Peace Love ect....I wonder if they (we) will be like the Betty White show folks or the depressing old age homes folks. Personnally I want to be in the 1st group :-D Those of you who prefer the 2nd group, check your butts I might be the one making your life a living hell LOLOL |

Betty White is great but this show is really nasty. Sorry to be a prude, but some of the material is really off color. Too bad that at her age and successful career she stoops to this.

I so agree with what has been said. Love Betty White but cannot see the humor in some of the pranks. We don't watch it anymore.

I wrote on this thread early today. I went to my Mom's this morning and my sister was there. The three of us watched , I think it was the third show, and Mom, age 95, sister, age 70 and me, age 73 have unanimously decided that this is the stupidest, crappiest, most demeaning show and is a poor representative of the elderly people!!! It has totally destroyed Mom's good feeling about Betty White, specially mentioning - sorry, I can't even repeat it! So I guess from my neck of the woods, that tells it all! The almighty dollar is more important than a little bit of class. And I have class!!!!! I can think of a lot better ways to leave an impression of the elderly other than being a bunch of dummies. There! My spleen has been vented, I feel a lot better and sorry, Betty White, you are a disgrace! Edie

I agree with snipforfun, I don't like the show and I think that Betty has become really crude and I don't like watching her anymore. Sorry.

I guess I am not one of the prudes because I really enjoyed watching her show.
