is like the hip, new version of "Golden Girls"
and I cannot stop laughing! I am so glad Netflix put it on instant streaming, I've been waiting forever to see this show and it was totally worth the wait.It all starts when three best friends hop on a plane for an impromptu trip to Paris, and make an emergency landing in Cleveland, Ohio...of all places.
During their stay in Cleveland they discover a "whole new world"...a place where people aren't shallow, where people don't care about being the skinniest and the fittest, and where people aren't obsessed with looking younger than they really are. It's such a fun culture shock that they decide to forgoe their trip to Paris and stick around awhile.
The house they rent for the month has a live-in housekeeper and cook who is 80 years old and not afraid to speak her mind or show up at the oddest moments with off-the-wall comments that certainly steal the show!
Valerie plays Melanie, a soon-to-be divorced mother, and one-book wonder, who is experiencing mid-life crisis. Jane plays Joy, an unmarried beautician to the stars who is finally coming to terms with the fact they she gave up a son when she was 15 years old. Wendie plays Victoria, a divorced, unemployed Emmy-winning actress looking for her next big break. And Betty plays Elka, a wisecraking widow who, at 80, finally decides to start dating again.
It is one huge laughfest-a-minute!
It's fun to see Valerie Bertinelli back in full swing, I've missed her. And Betty White, who doesn't love this quirky, outspoken, hillarious woman? It's also nice to see Jane Leeves and Wendie Malick make a comeback.
If you're looking for a good laugh, I encourage you to get on Netflix and watch "Hot In Cleveland", or go on Amazon.com
and buy it for just $18.99.

Here in the US, we get this channel as part of the line-up...it is not a pay channel... I'm glad you can watch it, as Betty White (and all of them) is really good!!
I live in a small town in South Dakota and even with basic cable, we do not get this channel. We'd have to pay for the bigger package.
We recently dropped cable altogether, however, in favor of Netflix's lower fees. I don't mind waiting a season or two for a good show anymore as I get to catch up on older shows I didn't get to see the last few years,. :)
