"BETTY WHITE'S Off Their Rockers"
(X) "EPISODE 7"
05/02/2012 (08:30PM - 09:00PM) (Wednesday) : Betty White’s posse of senior pranksters is back on the streets, pulling outrageous pranks on the younger generation. As star of the series, Betty shares her comical pearls of wisdom, entertains viewers with funny sketches between the pranks, and this week, gets a visit from actor Rob Schneider, hoping to land a different kind of role. Also this week, a prankster tries out the food samples she’s supposed to be giving out to customers, a widow tries to enlist two young girls in fulfilling her late husband’s last request, and a waitress offers a customer something he won’t find on the menu. Plus, one prankster borrows a girl’s cell phone for a long distance – and long-winded – call to France, and a man has an extreme reaction to a young girl talking too loudly on her cell phone.

NBC making a smart move????
Oh la la. I do not care. An neither does the rest of the world.
Not surprising, I gave it a try, was not my cup of tea.
lol even NBC has their standards.
Barely seems worth it.
Guess this means Off Their Rockers will be renewed.
That’s too bad. BFF is actually a really great show. It’s a comedy with several dramatic elements as well, really unlike any other sitcom on right now. Quite good. I will miss it.
Im addicted to Off their rockets. I hope it gets renew and with a full season
Adam Pally was supposed to star as the bf of one the characters.. but Happy Endings got pickup for a 2nd season and they had to recast..
Hopefully Happy Endings doesn’t have the same fate or he’ll be out of a job
I am thinking they will show the last two episodes on Saturday sometime in May or the summer time then.
Good decision but still they havent pulled Rock Center.
well its a good decision but they got to pull Rock Center if they want Law & Order to do any better.
I wonder why they pulled “Best Friends” and not “Awake”.
The guy who played Lennon’s boyfriend looked a bit like Colin Firth. The show was growing on me, too bad. It only had two episodes left anyway, but perhaps this is smart of NBC to give the slots to Off Their Rockers instead (and new episodes, too!).
This show was hilarious, damn people for not watching!
NOO!!!! IMO this was NBC’s BEST comedy. It was funny, likeable characters. Bu treated badly i swear, NBC put everything into Free Agents…while bent and BFF’s were CLEARLY better.
They also decided they needed more Community, since it’s finale has been moved to the last Thursday of sweeps instead of the day after sweeps.
Can Betty White spare the time to do a full season of Off Their Rockers? She still has Hot in Cleveland…
Makes sense, it rates better and it makes more sense to air Betty in season and bump BFF to summer (or Saturdays).
@SVU: Fringe Division
That’s an interesting way of spinning it.
@Greg
well, I guess Off their rockers doesnt take too long to record for her
