Angie Dickenson vs Betty White

Betty White had a sit-com in the '80's playing an Angie Dickenson-like TV star with show called Undercover Woman. I read at the time that Betty White and Angie Dickenson knew each other and that Dickenson was annoyed at the show. 

I don't think I ever watched a full episode of Police Woman, but it was a right-wing show. One episode I watched part of had Police Woman protecting a radical Black activist who was portrayed rather negatively, and now I read that there was an anti-Lesbian episode. Apparently, Police Woman knew a Lesbian in college and this gave her life-long antipathy for them. 

So, I'll have to side with Betty White in whatever feud she might have had with Police Woman.

TV shows back then rarely lived up to their opening credits.
