@diffrentdrumr: Bette Midler and Dolly Parton sing "Moses". "Bette" premiered on October 11, 2000, on CBS. Sixteen episodes were aired, with its final telecast on March 7, 2001. Although the series premiered to nearly 16 million viewers in October 2000 - aided by prominently featured special guest stars in the early episodes - ratings dropped significantly by December. Bette was open about the challenges of adhering to a weekly television schedule, and was reported not to enjoy the daily process. By the time its 15th episode aired in February 2001, the series was averaging 9 million viewers. CBS officially cancelled the series on March 6, with the 16th episode airing the following day. #Bette #bettemidler #tvsitcom #islandsinthestream #dollyparton #musictiktok #bettemidlertvshow #mosessong
