There's much worse but agreed many other shows would rather see her on....like maybe Kathy Bates new sitcom about a pot dispensary (!) :HALKING:

I'm excited for the show, but very apprehensive. I love Kathy Bates, but for her to star in a show helmed by Chuck Lorre... that's another story. Stoner Betty would be a joy to see, though.

Can't argue but then lots of Lorre product is better than some... I'm just intrigued by the concept plus having the incomparable Bates star is enough to get me to sample it. :D

Betty appears on Entertainment Tonight (filmed on the set of her latest gig) and says some very touching things about her relationship with fans.

I KNOW!! Would LOVE to see an appearance where she finally gets to meet him!! And being the aging National Treasure that she is....a bit surprised no one has ever deigned to make this "happen"! :blink:

""I loved this girl since I first saw her on The Betty White Show."

 

You're both single now, Carl. Get on this! This is the comedy power couple that could bring this divided world together.
