I actually liked "Hot In Cleveland" a lot and wish it had lasted 2 or 3 more seasons. What a delightful pleasure is was to see the adorable Betty White again, as Elka, who was similar to Sophia, played by the beloved Estelle Getty, on "The Golden Girls". Valerie Bertinilli, Wendy Malick and Jane Leeves were also quite funny to watch as Melanie, Victoria & Joy, who were respectively similar to Rose, Blanche & Dorothy. I knew Valerie from other shows but had never heard about Wendy & Jane and they were a nice discovery. The show was very funny. Not as much as "The Golden Girls" but it was a strong contender. Thanks for your review on Hot In Cleveland , Fantoma ! I actually enjoyed the Golden Girls when it was on way back , and I had seen the the first few episodes of Hot In Cleveland . And I mentioned their connection because they are basically the same genre of comedy . Although unrelated , it made me hark back to Fran Drescher's 'Living with Fran' (I believe it was originally just called 'Fran') but even though she was the main actor , her role was increasingly diminished . Thankfully she then went on to make the very funny Happily Divorced , and I believe she has something else in the works currently (but I can't find it at the moment, a rumor that I heard)
Back to Hot In Cleveland , Wendy Malick is a stand out in Just Shoot Me , and was also a late regular alongside series regular Jane Leeves in Frasier .
I was interested in your view , because at the moment we are watching Grace & Frankie which is a senior dramedy with some very good acting all round , and thoroughly enjoying that .
