Sadly, the series only lasted 18 episodes (16 aired and 2 unaired before cancellation).  Bette had the foundation to be one of CBS’s long-running sitcoms with its well put together casting, witty writing, and great direction, but “things” happened along the way. The show turned out not to be the monstrous success the network had hoped it would be, but it was a modest hit. Its major downfall was being placed on Wednesdays at 8 PM, up against the new night of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” on ABC and the Emmy-winning “Malcolm in the Middle” on Fox.
