When I first heard about Hot in Cleveland I was pretty excited; a brand new female-led sitcom featuring the stars of Golden Girls, Frasier and Just Shoot Me! But you would not believe what an embarrassing disaster this sad show has turned out to be.
Not a cliché is left unturned in this tired, unfunny career-low for all those involved. Three rich spoilt women of a certain age end up living with an over-sexed even older woman in Cleveland, which is portrayed as a poor red-neck city full of walking stereotypes and desperate men. poor old Betty White should really have retired by now as she has reached that age where she tends to mumble her lines so that not everything she says is entirely comprehensible, although it doesn't seem to stop the screams of hysterical fake laughter either from a can or a drugged-up(or bribed)studio audience. It's also extremely distasteful to hear a once great comedy actress reduced to swearing and uttering dirty jokes just to get a cheap laugh. Shame on all the writers and producers!
The other actresses don't fare much better and if Wendie Malick got any thinner I'd be worried that the neighbourhood dogs might try and bury her in the backyard. If you're looking for a genuinely funny, witty sitcom then look elsewhere as Hot in Cleveland will just leave you cold.
