Isn't it fantastic? DD and I just love the show. Best new show on TV in years, IMO

Isn't it great? I saw it yesterday for the first time and there were several times that I laughed out loud, which I don't normally do with sitcoms less than 20 years old.

I'm glad TV Land has it but I wish they would go back to the older sitcoms too. Some of these newer syndicates are not growing on me.

We like it too, all the actresses are great!

I missed the first episode but laughed quite a bit at the second episode, will keep watching.

wish I could get it :o(

If you have a good connection, you can watch it online, Glenda. Here's a link to the full episodes.

Oldgardener, thanks for the link......just watched it, and loved it, too. Now I'll have to watch on TV, although it's at a bad time.

Yes, it's pretty good. I find it funny to watch Valerie B. It seems like sometimes during funny things with Betty W., she sorta looks your way and laughs! Although I enjoy it, something tells me it won't last. Hope I'm wrong.

OMG, that show is SOOOO FUNNY!

I saw the first one and loved it!! But I forgot to write down the day and time it's on so I can fit it in to my TV schedule. It was really good! I love all the actors in this one, especially Betty White.

I guess it's just me because all of you like it - but I watched the first episode with high hopes. I love the actresses and thought that they'd be great together. But I watched for about 15 minutes and turned it off. The dialogue was stale, the acting flat and it just wasn't funny. Maybe it was because it was the pilot and I should give it a second chance.

maire cate, it's not just you. I felt exactly the same way - "The dialogue was stale, the acting flat and it just wasn't funny...". The only one I like is Betty White and that may be just because I like her, regardless of what she's doing. I watched the pilot and tried to watch it another time, but ended up rolling my eyes and turning to something else.

If Wed night at 10pm is a bad time, just look at your tv guide........it will be on at least 10 times before the following Wed. I'm still 'giving it a chance' before I decide whether or not it's a keeper for me.

I've seen a couple of episodes, like it a lot, but Betty is really a hoot!

I didn't even think I'd like it so never watched; but I just clicked on oldgardener's link and watched the second episode. Pretty darn good. With all the sitcoms today, I would think it would be hard to create something original; but the episode was funny. Where have I seen the actress who plays "Joy" before? The British actress.

Schoolhouse, Joy is Daphne from Frasier.
Soon as I heard her speaking on the airplane, I got who she is. Loved her then and think she's hilarious in this one.

The actress from the soap looks familiar to me, but don't know who she is.

Last nite was the first time it aired on our station (Canadian) and it was the pilot. So you guys are ahead of us it seems.

I've watched for three episodes I believe - maybe just two - but I thought it was kinda "flat" - and I really want to like it since there's not much in the way of sitcoms that I care for any more. It is repeated several times a week if someone who doesn't have TiVo wants to catch it. I've still got it scheduled to tape this week, but not sure if I will continue. I'm looking forward to Closer and Mad Men starting soon.

Jasdip--Wendy Malik was Nina on "Just Shoot Me". If there's anything at all, that I've found disappointing about Hot in C, it's that WM's character is exactly the same as it was in Just Shoot Me. On the other hand, she's SO well-known for that part, it's hard to imagine her playing any other role, so I guess there wasn't any other way to go with her character.

We think the funniest sitcom today is 2 1/2 Men, but I'm not sure if Charlie is coming back next year. He's the main star, but Berta and Allan are just as hilarious.

Hubs really likes The Big Bang Theory. Just learned yesterday that they are created by the same guy.

Big Bang Theory is my current favorite sitcom followed by Two and 1/2 Men.

I like Hot In Cleveland. It's not really meant to be a cutting edge series IMO. The actors are retro and so is the set. It's a simple set,shot in front of a live audience along will a simple plot and dialogue. Pure amusement like the sit-coms of the old days were. Not meant to be anything more and it works.

You're probably right, wildchild, but in my opinion it's not up to the quality of the sitcoms of the old days. Not sure how "old days" you're talking, but, for example, Bewitched, Mary Tyler Moore, Rhoda, etc. (my mind is blank for more at the moment) - they weren't meant to be anything more, either, and they were great. I think they were quite a bit more than Hot in Cleveland (I am very turned off by the so-called acting and lame plots). However, some are entertained by it and love it, and that's great, so I hope it lasts for those folks!

I just finished watching Season 1 of NYPD Blue, and in a couple of episodes Wendy Malik played a very different role for herÂan abused wife.

I watched episodes 1 and 3 (couldn't find 2) on Hulu.com and liked it, especially Betty White's work. I sure didn't laugh as hard as the audience, though. What do they do, tickle these people??

I watched two episodes,and altho I like Betty, I thought the acting wasn't all that good , and the actors lines were so predictable. I don't think it won't last, but I hope I'm wrong, for the ones who like it. You know different strokes for.........
