    • Trivia
      Lindsay Lohan played Bette's daughter in the pilot. When filming, the show was switched to Los Angeles, the New York-based Lohan dropped out of the project.
    • Goofs
      Throughout the series when Bette's accompanist Oscar is playing piano it is frequently clear that is not actually playing because the position of his hands is nowhere near the actual range of what is being played.

    It's "I Love Lucy" Bette-style
    This series has at times reminded me of I Love Lucy... but with that dash of originality... otherwise known as Bette Midler...

    True, it's not one of those series to last for many years (The Simpsons, Law & Order, Murphy Brown) but it very well put together and written. Of course, it won't last, but at least we got to see something of the same arena as Lucille Ball's unforgettable character.

    "Bette" may not leave behind a legacy and may not last that long... but it just proves that The Divine Miss M is not only the Queen of movies, music, comedy... but also, television.
