Crazy credits
The original opening of the series began as the opening of "Undercover Woman," the show-within-the-show. After a few minutes of stereotypical police action (gunplay, car chases, etc.), the camera drew back to reveal that it was happening on a TV screen which Betty White was watching from her sofa. The real series title was then displayed. This apparently confused many viewers, because after a few episodes, the opening began with Betty on the sofa, then panned to the police action on the TV screen.

Better writing and a better supporting cast may have made this better

Painstakingly watched this on YouTube. (video quality isn't good - after Betty's passing I found myself watching some of her work). I kinda like Betty's character here. John Hillerman's not bad either. However, writing leaves much to be desired inspite it being created by the same people from the MTMS. But the performances of Betty, John & Georgia are good. Pity they are wasted on a poor script.
