Betty White : Am I the only person that thinks she's terribly overrated?

Am I the only person that thinks she's terribly overrated?

If she wasn't on the Golden Girls, she'd be nothing. The only reason she's even relevant nowadays is because she plasters herself in countless commercials as the stereotypical white elderly person. Too bad in reality she's just a mean old lady who is literally on death's doorstop but won't take a hint and just retire.

Re: Am I the only person that thinks she's terribly overrated?

I didn't realize that you knew her personally.

Re: Am I the only person that thinks she's terribly overrated?

What is that supposed to mean? That if I don't know her personally, I must be wrong?

Good logic you got going there, sir.

Re: Am I the only person that thinks she's terribly overrated?

Well, not exactly accurate. She had her first hit with Life With Elizabeth. Then The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Then the Golden Girls in addition to many on going appearances in many other series, talk shows, game shows. Just check her IMDB listings. Its the 50+ years of show biz and longevity that is also being celebrated as it is extremely rare in that industry to have only 1 hit; yet she has accomplished it many times. Also a celebrated long term marriage- unusual in general, quite rare in the industry. This is why she is held and rated highly.

Yes you are. And if you want to see mean, take a look in the mirror.

Re: Am I the only person that thinks she's terribly overrated?

She is not terrible she just got old. In her prime she was snappy and coquette :)

Re: Am I the only person that thinks she's terribly overrated?

Who the *beep* hates on Betty? My god your an ugly soul. Shes a funny old gal n quite spry for her age. Shes only got a few years left for *beep* sake.

Re: Am I the only person that thinks she's terribly overrated?

what's sad is that she ended up being in things for longer than 6 or a few years afte thsi post, it ended up being 8 after this post. pathetic how she held on to being in things till her dying day at 99. highly overrated and very annoying personality.

Re: Am I the only person that thinks she's terribly overrated?

Mean? Are you confusing her with her characters?

Re: Am I the only person that thinks she's terribly overrated?

Yes you are the only person I have ever talked to that thinks that.

Re: Am I the only person that thinks she's terribly overrated?

You have no soul. Go away you ugly hater.

Re: Am I the only person that thinks she's terribly overrated?

Yes your in the minority I'm in the majority

Re: Am I the only person that thinks she's terribly overrated?

I doubt you're the only person who thinks she's overrated but I'll bet you're the first person to take the time get on the Internet and create a post about someone you claim you don't like.

Oh, wait, you're not the first yutz to do that either. For whatever reason, there's a slew of people out there who seek out things they don't like online and then post bitter and stupid posts such as yours.

I'll give you this much though - you obviously know nothing about Betty's career because it does predate the 1980s. All you whippersnappers seem to forget the world existed before 1980. It was a wonderful time actually - no vapid reality shows or vaguely racist a**holes ranting because an old person they dont like for no justiable reason just won't die already. Seriously, the 80s rocked the casbah.

Re: Am I the only person that thinks she's terribly overrated?

I think she's overrated.

Re: Am I the only person that thinks she's terribly overrated?

i dont know her past roles, but shes cropping up the last 10 years in tv shows and movies.
and i see here in this forum how much love people have for her.
mind you, i dont judge her talent...
but she annoys the hell out of me!
i actively try to avoid anything shes in, i stopped watching hot in cleveland when she appeared.

Re: Am I the only person that thinks she's terribly overrated?

yes you're right she is terribly overrated, joan rivers was beter than her by far, much more of a trailblazer and maverick comedian than white. took a lot bigger tcnaces in losing her career than white and was a far superior comedian in intellect, wit and creativity, talent, skill, cleverness.

Re: Am I the only person that thinks she's terribly overrated?

thats something that really really bugged me about her it was irritating to me how she never reitred never even at freaking 90 years old like just go away already.

almost no actress no matter how great continues to act or do comedy at 90 or even 80 years old, it was patheic how she never retired.

Most of George Burns' fame began starting around the age of 80. I guess you aren't really a fan of his since you didn't know that you fucking idiot.

At the age of 79, Burns had a sudden career revival as an amiable, beloved, and unusually active comedy elder statesman in the 1975 film The Sunshine Boys, for which he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Burns, who became a centenarian in 1996, continued to work until just weeks before his death of cardiac arrest at his home in Beverly Hills.
