Series Description

The Betty Hutton Show was a 30 minute comedy series on CBS about a former showgirl named Goldie who was doing manicures when one of her regular customers died and left her a huge fortune in his will. She also was named the guardian of his three teenaged children. The comedy came in when Goldie had to deal with "upper crust" people, when the children had to relate to a scatter-brained guardian, and when the family lawyer had to try to keep Goldie in line when dealing with financial matters.

Trivia

The Betty Hutton Show had some major competition in its 8:00 to 8:30 time slot on Thursday evenings. ABC was airing its hit comedy series, "The Donna Reed Show" and NBC was running "Bat Masterson".

Goldie Appleby wasn't the only weirdo that the kids had to deal with because Goldie's ex-roommates Lorna and Rosemary often dropped by for a visit.
