Lindsay Lohan appeared in Bette (Sitcom Television) as Rose Midler (2000). Bette is a CBS television show which premiered on October 11, 2000, lasting one season, with Bette Midler playing herself - a "divine celebrity" who is adored by her fans.

In Bette, there were several similarities to Bette's actual career through the show's run, and many of her celebrity friends appeared as themselves during the show's short run.

Guest stars of Bette included Danny DeVito, George Segal, Brenda Song, Sharon Lawrence, Tim Curry, David James Elliott, Oprah Winfrey, Ashley Tisdale, Tony Danza, Dolly Parton, Olivia Newton-John, Lindsay Lohan, Jon Lovitz,and the ladies from The View all as themselves.

Lindsay Lohan.. Bette with The Halloween episode featured Dolly Parton as herself, with her and Bette filming a TV special. Bette ended up getting Dolly arrested after stealing one of Dolly's outfits and going trick or treating dressed as Dolly.

The pilot episode of Bette featued Lindsay Lohan as Bette's daughter Rose, the role was then replaced with Marina Malota for the regular run of the series.

Bette show's 16 episodes aired Wednesday nights, until its cancellation. There were two episodes that went unaired on network TV, but the last two episodes were aired in HDTV in which it was simulcast.

Too too much!, I really like Bette Midler. I was excited that she was going to have a tv series. But........

Every episode had Bette coming on like gangbusters claiming "i'm a diva, aren't I too much! Then her husband would come out and claim, "Bette your too much." Folllowed by Joanna Gleason, the gay personal assisant, her daughter and assorted guest stars claiming, "Bette calm down, you're too much." How can any other character be happy with lines like this!

Lindsay Lohan.. Then Bette would be too much. No one else was allowed to be funny -or have a joke. It was as if the writers were afraid to develop others characters or God forbid--throw them a joke. I wish stars who go on tv wouldn't be afraid of being an ensemble. Only ensemble shows survive. Rosanne had one! Mary Tyler Moore had one. The Golden Girls had one! Hopefullly Bette learned to save her divaism for her concerts. Sit-Coms don't work that way.
