Betty White's Off Their Rockers

I can only assume they're mostly written by teenagers and/or Californians who have no clue to what real life is really like. I find this show to be a nice form of light entertainment.

Chill-out cyberpunks and enjoy life! Spreading disdain and criticizing EVERYTHING that you yourself cannot do doesn't make you interesting. It just makes you sad. Thanks for the laughs, Betty!!!

And for the comments about the the people being "punked" never finding-out that they've been "had", I'm PRETTY sure they have to sign a release for them to be aired.

Yep... nothing "common" about common- sense anymore!!

It was only now that I got to watch this show of Betty White, and I was even looking forward to it. At first, I thought it was funny. But then I realized that it is highly offensive. They made the elderly people look crazy and stupid, and objects of ridicule. They even made fun of nuns, which I think is highly irregular. And that series about not good looking people should not have babies, did you see the look on that young girl's face. That wasn't funny at all, and it must have been so hurtful to that young woman. NOBODY wants to hear such words. And who was talking? An elderly woman. What about those parts wherein old people were soliciting sex, what can be more gross than that!

I am in my senior years and I felt so disrespected by this show. I don't understand why Betty White agreed to appear in such a show. It is offensive, disrespectful, cheap. They could have made a better show for her. This is not something to be proud about. I am so disappointed!

In my opinion, after watching Episode 1 of "Off Their Rockers," this show is the most original and different comedy show I've seen in a long time. I laughed all the way through it. Although it's advertised to be a show about Seniors putting one over on young people, I think it will appeal to the younger viewers as well, as the ones being "fooled" seemed to get a good laugh too. It takes advantage of the limitations of older people by exaggerating them and making them funny. Some of the skits were not only a surprise to the youngsters who were being fooled, but to me, as well. I am looking forward to watching this show with my friends every week.

As a 24 year old guy with an awesome sense of humour, well Betty White has always appealed to me, at least since seeing her wicked sense of humour in various marketing campaigns as well as other bits and pieces. I was half expecting the show to be about old people "off their rockers" and to my delight it's about old people pranking the more youthful, though it appears no one is too old to be pranked. The best part, at least so far, it doesn't appear the people being pranked are actually actors in on the joke.

I've watched the first episode and haven't laughed as hard or as much at a show since seeing the first episode of Good Vibes quite a few months back. While it may not be everyones cup of tea, well those with a true funnybone, those equipped with having viewed many hours of comedy TV shows and movies, from all genres, under their belts, well to say the least, you should get quite a laugh, at least from the first episode of Betty White's Off Their Rockers.

Having only watched the first episode so far, I can't accurately say whether it'll continue being as funny, but man, to those wanting something 'fresh' (even if some jokes are borrowed) then give this a go. If you don't laugh at least once during the first episode, then perhaps it's time to think about checking out of Hotel Earth... ;)

My idea of comedy? Well here's some other funny TV shows I enjoy/ed; Good Vibes, South Park, Crank Yankers, Bored To Death, Chuck, Fonejacker, That '70s Show, Wilfred, Robot Chicken, Workaholics, IT Crowd, Family Guy, Futurama, Boston Legal, Beavis and Butthead (new season) -- there's a ton more but that's a pretty diverse list of shows that have all, at one point or another, had me (quite literally) in tears laughing.

So take from this what you will, just don't go by the bogus reviews trolls/haters will be sure to leave.

After only watching the first couple of episodes, i find myself wiping the tears of laughter from my eyes as i climb up off the floor from laughing so hard.

Not all the skits are hilarious--White has enough foresight to back-load the majority of the funnier skits towards the end of the show, while the earlier ones that don't quite get there are bracketed by light enough bits that its hard to notice.

The team she's working with here is outstanding. I have no doubt that Lorne Michaels is kicking himself for not grabbing these talented performers for SNL years ago.

After watching the first episode, i found myself wanting to see some bits taking advantage of the youthful misconception that age equals frailty (in areas other than sex--which misconception White and her team successfully challenge.)

There are a number of world class athletes out there that happen to be seniors. I'd love to see White take advantage of their skills and talents to really challenge the younger generation's world view. The skateboard skit in the second episode does this somewhat, but i'd like to see this go a lot further.

These first couple of episodes are real comedy gold. The biggest question it poses to me is: Can she keep it up?
