TV show description:
This hidden-camera TV show is adapted from Benidorm Bastards, a hit TV series from Belgium. The elderly play pranks on members of the younger set as they take senior stereotypes and turn them on their ear, thanks to a cast of sassy septuagenarians who are hip, sexy and ready to party.

Betty White, “America’s favorite comedy sweetheart,” sends a fearless band of senior citizens to the streets to pull shocking and (hopefully) hilarious pranks on the younger generation.

In the vein of Punk’d, the show delivers specifically-crafted comedic stunts, candid moments and funny sketches captured by hidden cameras. Sassy seniors are on a mission, targeting unsuspecting young “marks” with their irreverent behavior — from asking a young girl in a mall to sign a petition banning ugly people from reproducing to having an older woman proposition a young man at an airport gate to join her in the “mile high” club.

Celebrity guest appearances include Ted Lange (The Love Boat), Wink Martindale (The Newlywed Game), Rob Schneider (¡ROB!), and Adam West (Batman).

What do you think? Do you like Off Their Rockers? Should White take part in some of the pranks or is she too recognizable? Do any of the pranks bother you? Are any too vulgar?
