America's sweetheart strikes again

You've probably heard about Betty White's latest endeavor: producing an NBC sitcom in which the elderly pull pranks on unsuspecting young people. Betty White's Off Their Rockers is a low-budget program filled with innocent, simple jokes. But in the era of Michael Bay films and elaborate special effects, this show might be exactly what we've been waiting for.

Most young people will likely not recognize any of the cast members save for White. But that's hardly a problem -- by the end of the first episode, you'll likely form a favorite character whose pranks you'll anticipate in episodes to come. (My personal favorite is Michael Yama, who chopped a cake in half because he didn't want to purchase the entire treat.)

Betty White's Off Their Rockers appeals to young and old people alike. The elderly will enjoy the show the way hipsters enjoy Portlandia, and they'll appreciate the simple humor's similarity to shows like The Three Stooges. And the young will learn from the elderly's intelligence levels while enjoying how witty these senior citizens can be.

The show officially premiered on April 4, but the first two episodes are currently available on Hulu for free.
