Critic Reviews

Season 1 Review:
Most of this is enjoyable, some of it a bit much. But Bette is Bette, as is "Bette." She's a hothouse rose, not a shrinking violet. But on a weekly basis, too much scenery-chewing could make even the "Divine Miss M" wear thin. We'll see how it all plays out. [8 Oct 2000]

Season 1 Review:
She has a lot of spunk, mugging for the
camera and poking fun at her career (no fewer than four Midler films
get mentioned in the first episode). Next to her, however, the
supporting cast is tired and colorless. And how many Bette Midler
jokes can America take? [11 Oct 2000, p.F1]

Season 1 Review:
You've got to be something of a Bette-a-holic to take this much of Midler's raging insecurities and slapstick stylings on a weekly basis. Even when she's missing from a scene in "Bette," which is rare, the rest of the show's character ensemble is fixated on her and her bottomless pit of need. [11 Oct 2000, p.C1]

Season 1 Review:
When it comes to her new CBS sitcom premiering tonight, though, [Middler is] the only element jolting the show out of disastrously ho-hum status. [11 Oct 2000, p.96]

Season 1 Review:
All the good jokes come from Midler poking fun at her own image, from her gay fan base to references to "Beaches." Around that, alas, things are numbingly uninspired. [11 Oct 2000, p.6]
