Sure, Betty White is red hot right now. Heck, she is hotter than Cleveland! (;)) I am just curious why the former Captain Kirk isn't getting the praise that Ms. White has been getting after staging her comeback.

I guess what I mean is, William Shatner has "quietly" been on a red hot role as of late. He has so many irons in the fire right now with his own talk show, movies, comercials & now his very own sitcom! So where is the love for Bill?!?

Critics have been really critical of his new show but I wouldn't count it out. It's airing between TBBT and CSI. It would have to be really bad to fail. If it's a hit, I'm sure Bill will get his due. Maybe Betty will guest star on his show. :lol:

If Shatner is still working regularly when he is 88 years old I'm sure he'll get his due!!

I think it's due largely in part that William Shatner has been working consistantly recently; Boston Legal finished its run just 3 years ago, and Shatner has been doing his multiple talk shows and etc.

Betty White had been doing only small guest appearance, nothing substantial like Shatner has had, so I feel like Betty had more of a "return" to TV, while Shatner never quite left.

my theory is that while people may enjoy the shows that shatner stars in he does not come across as a warm loveable guy in intertviews or with fans ether and the people seem to sense this where betty has a very warm persona gives great interviews and by all accounts is nice to almost everyone in short people like betty period , shatner people dont really like him just captian kirk denny lane etc.

The last Shatner show I watched was TJ Hooker. lol I haven't liked a whole lot of shows that he's been in. I liked Star Trek when I was a kid but I grew out of that. I was more into Lost in Space anyway. I'll give his new show a try though.
