The Betty White Show
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Betty White Show was a sitcom which ran on CBS during the 1977-78 season, starring Betty White. White played Joyce Whiteman, a middle-aged actress, who was starring as a female detective in a fictitious police drama, Undercover Woman (ostensibly based on Angie Dickinson's Police Woman). Much of the humor stemmed from the fact that the show's producer was Whitman's ex-husband, John Whitman (played by John Hillerman), as well as the fact that White and her sidekick on the Undercover Woman, a beautiful and much younger actress (played by Caren Kaye), did not like one another and mised no opportunity to trade insults. Also appearing was White's former Mary Tyler Moore Show costar, Georgia Engel.
