Betty White's Off Their Rockers

I have watched every episode of this show and have yet to see any response to any of the pranks except for stunned silence or whispered confusion. The concept is great and the premises are fine, but the reactions are always the same : polite confusion. Nobody ever gets angry. Or confrontational. Or...well... funny in any way, really. Plus, the dumb wraparound 'bits' with Betty are by far the weakest link. They're boring, never funny, Betty's delivery is always the same and the gag is always the same : 'the horny old lady making some lame sexual innuendo'. If you ever wondered how much 'Jackass' will suck when Johnny Knoxville and company get old... wonder no more.

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.

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!

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!!

Off their rockers is a terrible show and not funny whatsoever! I love Betty and think that she is wonderful and was hoping that the show would be a huge hit but it is pathetic and sad! I can't believe anyone found it funny! The producers need to re think the concept and make it more realistic and more thought out! The idea is good but the execution is terrible and the ideas are ridiculous! They don't show the reactions from bystanders enough! I really think that the producers need to come up with better ideas to incorporate the elderly participants! This show could be hilarious if the content was thought out more and the scenarios were aimed more at mature people behaving unnaturally active and young and less sexually depraved! I think the sexual content tries too hard and degrades the actors and is not funny!
