This show really is fairly good

"After reading the review posted by the other customer, I wasn't sure what to expect from this program. I figured it was more a serious anthology show along the vein of The Loretta Young Show which I really didn't like nor could I get into.

I've been watching The Betty Hutton Show on a site called TV4U & have to say it really isn't all that bad an effort for a lesser known one-season late 1950s sitcom. You could do far worse with other offerings.

The plots aren't that weak & are believable, standard, silly fare typical of all comedy shows 1950s & otherwise. Please don't hesitate to give this a look, you'll be glad you did. The characters are great & Betty Hutton was beautiful & had done a good job with the material she'd been given in this effort, as had done the entire cast.

I just purchased my copy on Amazon today & look forward to its arrival soon!

Recommended viewing for lovers of vintage nostalgia."

"I re-watched this and it isn't as bad as I said in my first review. Make no mistake, this isn't a classic for the ages like "I Married Joan" or "My Little Margie", but despite some poor acting by the supporting cast, the writing is a low better than I remembered. Betty Hutton does well with the scripts. In fact, some of the scripts are as good as some "Lucy" episodes. It's the production values and supporting cast which bring this show down. Still, there are enough moments in which Betty Hutton shines to make this worthwhile. Just don't judge 50's TV by it, ok?"
