Joyce Whitman, star of Undercover Woman on The Betty White Show
Not to be confused with two earlier TV shows with the same title, this was produced by MTM and aired on CBS in 1977. It featured Betty White as Joyce Whitman, the star of Undercover Woman (which was itself a parody of ‘Police Woman’), and was suicidally scheduled against ABC’s Monday Night Football and NBC’s Monday Night Movie. It ran for fourteen weeks, and the only reason it lasted that long, I assume. is that CBS left it there as a sacrificial lamb rather than throw something else up there to also get murdered by MNF.
