'Betty White's Pet Set: The Complete Series'
(Betty White, et al / 6-Disc DVD / NR / 2021 / MPI Home Video)

Overview: In an unparalleled television career spanning over 70 years, the beloved Betty White has brought laughter and joy to millions of fans of all ages with her acclaimed performances in the hit series The Golden Girls, The Mary Tyler Moore Show and Hot In Cleveland.

In 1971, just prior to Betty's sitcom superstardom, she created and hosted a weekly program, BETTY WHITE'S PET SET, celebrating her lifelong love of animals.

Produced with her husband Allen Ludden (Password), BETTY WHITE’S PET SET - not seen in decades - gave Betty the opportunity to welcome celebrity friends with their dogs, cats and horses in additional to a wide range of wild animals including tigers, bears, elephants, lions, wolves, gorillas, chimps, cougars, cheetahs, seals, kangaroos, zebras, eagles, snakes, penguins and many more creatures both in the studio and on location!

DVD Verdict: For those not in the know, although I fail to see who that could possibly be (save for the young 'uns, of course, Betty White has received eight Emmy Awards in various categories, three American Comedy Awards, three SCREEN ACTORS GUILD AWARDS and a Grammy Award, among many others.

She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, is a 1985 Television Hall of Fame inductee, and a 2009 Disney Legend. Dubbed "the first lady of game shows," she was the first woman to receive a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Game Show Host.

A television pioneer, she was one of the first women to exert control in front of and behind the camera and is recognized as the first woman to produce a sitcom, Life with Elizabeth, which led to her receiving the honorary title Mayor of Hollywood in 1955.

Here in the always-fun, always-enlightening, and always-delightful 'Betty White's Pet Set: The Complete Series' we get Betty, as always, as a delightful, and youthful host and trust me when I say that the legendary guest stars just are a dream to behold for anyone who loves classic TV and film stars.

Then there are the amazing wild animals that are so much fun to see with Betty plus all the celebrity dogs and cats. Having now watched all 39 episodes and having thoroughly enjoyed them all, along with all the great behind the scenes material and tons of cool stuff from Betty never seen before, I have to say that this is, without a shadow of a doubt, the ultimate Pet Set collection.

Oh, and just in case you weren't aware of just how interwebs savvy the lovely Betty is today, she recently tweeted this: "Would you believe it?! It's my 99th birthday which means I can stay up as late as I want without asking. I am also very pleased to let you know about the re-release of my long-lost series after fifty years! I am just so proud of the Pet Set. I hope everyone is safe and well".
