"Two words: Betty. White. What more needs to be said? The woman is awesome. This is an old book she she wrote in 1995, but who cares? It talks about her life in television. I had not idea she had been married 3 times. you go girl. And that her name is Betty. It is not short for Elizabeth. Who knew? In any case, if you are a fan of Betty's, or the Golden Girls, or of awesome, you need to read this book. She is one of my favorite people in the world and the book is just plain good."

Here We Go Again Listener Reviews

" For someone who claims she can't remember much, Betty White managed to write a memoir filled with excruciating detail-mostly about friend's and acquaintance's pets. The jokes repeat themselves and the book filled to the brim with arbitrary facts. Great read for someone looking for a book on the history of television. If you want to see Betty White at her finest, look for Golden Girl's repeats, Hot in Cleveland, or other appearances because it is NOT in this book. "

" I was hoping this book was more like her others, with short chapters. But it was kind of long-winded. What kept me hooked was Betty's ever-present sense of humor. She gets wittier with age, and I enjoyed learning about her life in showbiz. I think we could all learn a thing from her. "

" Interesting look into the evolution of TV and some fun memories of Betty. But, since I wasn't familiar with how it was when TV began and many of the actors and/or radio stars she mentioned, it took me a LONG time to get through this book. Betty White is great, though! "
— Sue, 10/13/2012 -

— Carolyn, 4/26/2012 -
" If I were older & had a better understanding of who she was talking about, I'm sure I would have liked it better. The chapter about the Golden Girls was interesting, but only a little. So, yeah. A skimmer, for sure. "
— Ami, 1/14/2012 -
" Who knew that Betty White first appeared on television in 1939! I didn't even know there was television in 1939. She worked with so many famous people of the past and enlightens the reader with stories of them all. A fun read if you remember the 50's to 80's. "
— Kay, 1/13/2012 -
