Three 40 something best friends from Los Angeles are flying to Paris when their plane makes an emergency landing in Cleveland. Realizing that all the norms from Los Angeles don't apply anymore, they decide to celebrate a city that values real women and stay where they're still considered hot.
Watchseries; This show takes a few episodes to really find its nitch, but once it settles down things get very good! And after season 1, it just gets funnier. Of course Betty White steals every scene with the great one liners. Give this show a try, hang in there after a few episodes and you wont regret it! There are a lot of funny stories in this show. Well worth it!

Hot in Cleveland watchseries. I know that this show has been popular among many. But I just can't get behind it. I think that the premise is ridiculous;four women on their way to LA, who get stuck in Cleveland, OH, and decide to stay there. Can't believe that anyone would actually want to stay in Cleveland, if t they could live in LA.
I also thin that the dialog and jokes, are flat and lame. It's tasteless, to say the least, that they keep trying to present Betty White's character, as an elderly foul-mouthed thug of a woman. The producers obviously think that this is humorous. To me, it's just tacky.
I regally resent the fact that TVLand, has stooped to broadcasting lame sitcoms like Hot In Cleveland. The other sitcoms that come to mind, are Retired At 365, and Happily Divorced, aren't any better. TVLand is obviously trying to be 'trendy', by adding these new sitcoms to its line-up. But they're way off the mark.
TVLand specializes in the old sitcoms, from the 60s and 70s. They broadcast quality shows, like MASH, All In The Family, Sanford & Son, The Jeffersons, The Andy Griffith Shiw, and many others. Their new, silly sitcoms like Hot In Cleveland, don't belong on TVLand. I wish that they would see the light, and quit cluttering-up their programming, with these idiotic shows. Let the regular TV networks have them, since they broadcast such drivel nowadays anyhow.

I have to admit it. I am crazy about Betty White. I have just about every TV appearance she has ever done. Love her work from the early 50s until the present. I don't get cable, so I purchased the DVD of "Hot In Cleveland" when it came out. I knew that even if I didn't care for the show, I would care for Betty White in it. Surprise! The show is excellent. So good in fact that I would like it even if Betty wasn't in it. The other girls in the cast perform very well together to form a really good ensemble cast. This is also one of the few comedies made today that is filmed before a studio audience just like Betty's classic sitcoms. It's hard to believe that Betty is still going strong and really shows little sign of letting up. She is working harder than many actresses half her age. Betty, we love you and cherish you as the fine comedienne you are. Thank you for the many, many hours of classic comedy that you have given us.

Love this show. Watched for the first time as streaming video from Netflix. Betty White steals the show. Actually, I laughed out loud for the first time when she said her first line in the pilot. I've lived in California so I know how plastic it is. Three women of a, ahem, "certain" age are on their way to Paris for fun and men when their plane makes an emergency landing in Cleveland. They go to a bar and find that "real" men are giving them the eye. There are some really funny lines in relation to that scenario ("They're looking at me and not through me!") - so true after you hit a certain age. Anyway, the Valerie Bertinelli character decides to rent a Victorian house for a monthly rent that would be the amount charged in LA for one night and stick around a while. Betty White's character comes with the house as the caretaker. It's a fun show, especially for women of a "certain" age who can relate.

Hot In Cleveland is certainly the new Golden Girls. They're all smart, funny, beautiful "mature" women who are not ready to fade away quietly just yet. They prove that you don't have to be young to make a hit TV show. And although Betty White does carry a fair bit of the show the other women are vital contributors. There is a lot of comedic talent in this show and the cast and the many celebrity guest appearances only serve to add value.
The premise may be a little odd at first and may not be completely plausible but when you learn to roll with it you can really enjoy all the craziness and zany antics. It brings me back to the times when comedy shows were organic and didn't take themselves so seriously. It's refreshing to see and most importantly makes me laugh.

HIC has evolved from a good first series with an excellent cast of comedy actors into something even sharper and funnier in the second series - it really is younger Golden Girls meets (the original) Two and a Half Men, and that's a great combination.
The content is sharp, funny, sometimes rude, and above all, smart. With four fantastic and very competent leads. Especially the fabulous Betty White who gets great laughs for going against her Golden Girls ditsy image. (She was only meant to guest on the first episode but did such a great job, and she's an amazing 88, that it was decided to keep her around - a great decision!) it was already a clear winner, and here the material just keeps getting better.
All in all, HIC is not coasting - the writing is very, very good, the situations are as hilarious as Don't Shoot Me, and this will sell for sure to a global market hungry for US comedies.
