Betty White Had A Bones Cameo That Most Fans Didn’t See
By SANDY SCHAEFER
Betty White spent much of her third act putting her razor-sharp comedic sensibilities to work in numerous small-screen roles, which is how she came to be on "Bones" at one point.
On "Bones," White wise cracked while quietly flexing her dramatic muscles. Her first appearance as Dr. Beth Mayer was in season 11, episode 4, "The Carpals in the Coy-Wolves."
White reprised the role in season 12, episode 10. Her character brought out Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan's insecurities about her own professional accomplishments.
Sadly, "The Radioactive Panthers in the Party" has the dubious distinction of being the least-watched in the show's history with only 2.52 million viewers tuning in.
Ratings for the show were down across the board by the time the episode aired, but "Bones" had mainly wanted to give a final sendoff to one of its all-time best guest stars.
