The main point the show tries to reinforce -- the elderly are sexual. One or two jokes or skits making that point would be enough, but that theme is emphasized over and over. The copious times the actors make passes at much younger people gets old.
Also, too many of the candid-camera moments seem designed to cause discomfort in 20-somethings. Young people, trying to be helpful and kind, are harassed at times, in ways that I really don't find funny. I realize that later they are informed it is a TV show. Some of the hidden-camera vignettes are funny and innocuous, but I would prefer the producers used fewer that rely on intentional humiliation.

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!!

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.

I LOVE the idea of giving Betty White her own show, but NOT THIS ONE. It wasn't really funny. The "punkee" never finds out that they were "punked", so they just think some crazy old person is bugging them. Not funny. Even they don't seem to think it's funny. They usually seem mildly bothered, but not completely shocked or anything. I won't be watching this again. Now I have to delete it from my DVR so it won't record again! *sigh* The parts where Betty makes a joke or an irreverent remark are the only parts worth watching. The Snickers commercial was more entertaining!! LOVE Betty.... ditch the REST of this mess.
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.
