Classic Betty White

This woman has more television history than most women and her acting style is never burlesque or over the top. But man is she ever always believable. I caught this on-line or I might not have even known this show existed. With guest stars like Burt Mustin (whom I think was NEVER young) this show delivers in the subdued fifties style of the sitcom but never hits a proverbial home run (which is probably why I never heard of it before.) Still, it is a funny show and a good time capsule piece with silliness at a level 8 at least.

Also a very important side-note in that Bill Williams not only played Kit Carson, but is himself directly related to two other TV performers of note. His son i William Katt who was "The Greatest American Hero" and his wife is Barbara Hale whom is even more famous as Perry Mason's confidant, lover and all around girl Friday.
