★★★★ · Don't take it seriously · TVonthePorch · 2010-01-02
...because they surely weren't taking it seriously when they made it! I thought this episode was fun. Corny and broad, yes, and with an unlikely story that almost implodes on itself in the end, but the final shot saves it. With just a look, the two antagonists effectively say to the audience "come on, get real, this is just a silly TV show after all!" Fade out.
★★★ · david lynch reference to this show? · Bedtime4Bonzo · 2009-10-14
If you've ever seen David Lynch's very short-lived tv comedy "On the Air", the lead of the show is "Betty Hudson". I think the name of the show (which is comically bad) is "The Betty Hudson Show". Just a thought.

This was the 1950s. What did people expect, The Golden Girls? Many people have no sense of history and how things were at various points in history. (as per these comments) Different values, societal expectations, mores, etc., shape periods of time. The Betty Hutton Show was an adequate to good TV show for it's time. It's just that there were other shows with more name recognition (star power, I guess) were aired during the 1959-60 television season. That was most likely reason for TBHS's one-year run.
