Bette (sitcom)

Great link

I'm not OP. Lindsay Lohan is her daughter. Bette's shtick does hold up but a little goes a long way.

Oops, Lindsay is replaced by episode 3.

True story. I was waiting on Miss Midler and asked if they were going to have fun with Joanna Gleason's dad. Midler asked, "Why? Who's her father"? When I told her, she was amazed. She honestly didn't know. "Is he really her father?"

I didn't know Monty Hall was Joanna's father until you mentioned it right here.

Omg the late, great Wendie Jo Sperber did a guest spot!

It was OK but definitely was a bit of a mess. They replaced the daughter and the husband and.....yeah, it was kinda half baked.

I don't think it was the right medium for her.

Damn, did they have big bowls of cocaine in the green room?

I think it shows Bette's wonderful talent for physical comedy. And they obviously modeled it a bit on Lucy's shows.

It doesn’t work because she’s playing herself.

That only really takes about once in a lifetime.

Carl Weathers was brilliant on "Arrested Development."

I loved "Bette" too bad it never got the ratings it needed to sustain.

Twice, at least.

I liked it and was sorry it was cancelled. It wasn’t great but had enough fun moments.

Watching the first two episodes, I think it would have worked much better as a single camera sitcom.

As it is, Bette's overly broad performance and the intrusive audience response get in the way of strong scripts and a great cast.

Making The Wind Beneath My Wings a punchline was delightful.

I enjoyed it when it originally aired. Some clever scripts.

We never got Candice farting.
