The Betty White Show is an American sitcom which aired on CBS from September 12, 1977, to January 2, 1978. Fourteen episodes were transmitted. The series was produced by MTM Enterprises. Joyce Whitman , a middle-aged actress, lands the lead in a fictitious police series, Undercover Woman . Joyce is thrilled with the show, but less pleased to learn that the director is her ex-husband, John Elliot , whom she unfondly refers to as "old pickle puss". He responds in kind, supplying his star with an oversized male double named Hugo , a sexy, much younger onscreen sidekick , and dialogue not nearly... as sharp as her tongue. Also on hand are Joyce's best friend, Mitzi Maloney , co-star actor Fletcher Huff and network penny-pincher Doug Porterfield . The series was scheduled opposite ABC's Monday Night Football and The NBC Monday Movie and failed to generate viewers. The show was quickly canceled after fourteen episodes. The Betty White Show was briefly rerun on Nick at Nite and TV Land in the 1990s.
