Betty White's 90th Birthday Special

... her good friend and poker buddy, Bob Stewart was sitting at her table.

Were his eyes dry?

/Inside joke there.

Betty actually helped NBC win second place for the night. Both her birthday show and her new Prank show, Betty White: Off their Rockers scored very well.

Bring the "inside joke" out for some air?

Just got a chance to see the special, and it didn't take the eyes of an eagle to notice that John O'Hurley was there, both in the audience and onstage for the finale, yet wasn't featured in the program nor mentioned in the credits.  Several press releases touted the fact that he would take part, and one site had a photo of him doing whatever it was that ended up on the cutting room floor.  Frankly, I'm sure I would have enjoyed his part more than the awkward Password skit, but you don't leave out Harper, Lawrence, MacLeod and Asner in a Betty White tribute.  I'd love to know what he did.

An enjoyable but heavily edited! Did they piece MTM's bit together and cover it (almost entirely) with b-roll shots? I agree, the Password bit was awkward.  A few more clips and tributes and it would have made for two hours. Chevy Chase?  Really?

Between him, Joel McHale, Amy Poehler and Zac Levi, NBC celebs were definitely given an undeserved priority.  No different if you watched CBS' 75th Anniversary special, you would have thought Joe Palantonio was the biggest celebrity on TV at the time.

And have we reached a point now that Password replica sets are being made so often you can now pick them up at Ikea or Home Depot?

Lemme know if we have. A fiberboard Password desk for my living room AND a big plate of Swedish meatballs? DONE.

I'd make room for that! But I must insist on having the "Lightning Round" machines built in.

Perfect idea for a dinner table! Just put your five favorite dishes on the cards and push the button when you want one of them passed to your side of the table.

So I checked the Ikea website, I see no sign of the LUDEN desk anywhere.  Or the DÖSÖN wall flip board.

I lol'd hard. And I continue to crave Swedish meatballs. I think all I'm missing is the sour cream, and I might even have that. Time to take stock of the fridge...

EDIT: Alas, no. That will have to be a post-Snowmageddon project.
