Date With the Angels Trivia

Many of today's fans have come to love Betty White more for her magnetic personality than for her comedic genius. Her magnetism didn't suddenly appear in the 21st century, however, and in the 1950s it attracted many popular TV stars of the day to want to guest star on Date With the Angels. Some of those who appeared included Nancy Kulp (Miss Jane on "The Beverly Hillbillies"), Chuck Connors ("The Rifleman"), Sid Melton (Alf Monroe on "Green Acres") and Hugh O'Brian ("The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp").

Date With the Angels premiered in May because it was a replacement series for "The Ray Anthony Show".

The cancellation of Date With the Angels had nothing to do with any lack of ability on the part of Betty White. In fact, it was canceled by ABC so that Betty could star in a new, live comedic variety series titled, "The Betty White Show" which premiered the very next week after Date With the Angels final episode and capitalized even more on Betty's ability to draw big name guest stars.
