CBS gave Betty Boop another primetime special in 1989. The fact that it hasn't been seen since speaks to her lack of recognition with modern audiences.
"Betty Boop's Hollywood Mystery" is set in the 30's, as the producers sought to recreate the classic look of the Fleischer shorts of the 30's. Melissa Fahn voices Betty this time, as it'd been 4 years since Betty's last special. Anyway, Betty gets framed for robbery, and her BFF's, Koko & Bimbo, have to help her clear her name.
The supporting cast includes Lucille Bliss, Michael Bell, Roger Rose, and Hamilton Camp, most of whom had finished with Smurfs. King Features' TV arm, Hearst Entertainment, acquired the rights this time.
No rating. Just a public service.
