The Betty Hutton Show is an American sitcom that aired on CBS's Thursday night schedule (8-8:30pm Eastern) during the 1959-1960 season. The show was sponsored by General Foods' Post Cereals, and was produced by Desilu and Hutton Productions.
The series, which was originally entitled Goldie, would retain its original title during its syndication run.
Hutton stars as Goldie, a showgirl-turned-manicurist. One of Goldie's regular customers is a millionaire, Mr. Strickland (White). After Mr. Strickland suddenly dies, Goldie discovers that he has left everything he owns, including his 60 million dollar fortune and his three children, to her.
Although Hutton was a popular actress, the show only lasted for thirty episodes before being cancelled, mainly because it was scheduled opposite ABC's popular series The Donna Reed Show.
Four episodes of the show were released on DVD by Alpha Video on July 31, 2007.
