After two seasons of pranking the younger generation, "Betty White's Off Their Rockers" has been canceled, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Hosted by Betty White, the hidden-camera series saw the elderly, as well as various celebrity guest stars, playing pranks.

"Off Their Rockers" ended Tuesday without much fanfare, drawing just 3.96 million viewers and 1.0 in the adults ages 18-49 demographic.

It was a cute show, but how long could they go without people knowing they're being pranked?

Does this now mean that NBC won't have Betty White's 3rd Annual 90th Birthday Party next January?

kind of remained of Howie men dale he had reality he would put on disguise then he would fool people thinking its not him it didn't last long I guess people would guess who he was

"Betty White's Off Their Rockers" Renewed For Season 3 by Lifetime

Lifetime is reviving "Betty White's Off Their Rockers".

The female-skewing cable network has picked up 20 original half-hour episodes of the hidden-camera series, The Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively.



White will return to host the third season of the series in 2014. A formal premiere date has not yet been determined.

The deal with producer Kinetic Content brings new episodes of the series to Lifetime, which has aired off-network repeats.







NBC aired the first two seasons of the series, which featured White overseeing the elderly playing pranks on younger folks in a hidden-camera fashion similar to "Candid Camera". The show launched with a preview in April 2012 timed to an NBC special tribute for White's 90th birthday earning 12 million total viewers.

Following its 12-episode run from January to May 2012, NBC renewed the series for a second run of 14 installments, which started with back-to-back airings in January into February with its final four episodes airing March 19, June 25 and July 9.



"Rockers'" most recent in-season run -- which was used to help fill holes on the network and often held up well -- averaged a 1.5 rating with adults 18-49 and 5.3 million viewers.

The series failed to really see an uptick when factoring in Live+Seven-Day numbers as the show didn't traditionally perform well with the DVR crowd.
