Betty White's Off Their Rockers

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.

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!

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.

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!!
