When their plane has trouble while on a flight to Paris, three glamorous LA women find themselves in a completely new and unexpected place. Feeling the need for a girls-only, once-in-a-lifetime trip, Melanie cashes in her airline miles to finance a trip to the city of light for herself and her two best friends, Joy and Victoria, all "of a certain age" and feeling less than desirable. They never make it to Paris, though -- when the stricken plane lands in Cleveland, the women suddenly find they're popular with the men there. Realizing that while they may be lukewarm in LA, they're hot in Cleveland, the women decide to relocate. They immediately fall in love with their rental house. It takes a little longer, however, for them to warm up to the house's longtime caretaker (Betty White).

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Hot in Cleveland is a proud throwback to the classic sitcoms of the '80s whose more off-putting moments are made watchable by Betty White's pitch-perfect comic delivery and Valerie Bertinelli's lovable charm.

I kept giving Hot in Cleveland another chance, figuring that something would click and the writers would leave behind the two-dimensional cliches to find something genuinely funny. It never happens. Go to Full Review Alan Sepinwall HitFix 01/28/2014
Hot in Cleveland is pleasant enough, but it apes the classics far more in its style than its substance. Go to Full Review Emily St. James AV Club 01/28/2014
Hot in Cleveland isn't God-awful. It won't make you want to shoot yourself for watching it. But, man, if it isn't ever bland and stuck in 2007. Go to Full Review Mindy Monez Television Without Pity 01/29/2014
Betty White just undeniably is, and the four of them together [are] oddly engaging, even if the writing really isn't there. Go to Full Review Tom Conroy Media Life 01/29/2014
The stars... sink their teeth into their roles, and their enthusiasm is contagious. Go to Full Review Mark Dawidziak Cleveland Plain Dealer 01/29/2014
Hot in Cleveland is a sitcom that has a distinctly warmed-over feel to it. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

See more randumb2020 T @RT60863052 12/07/2024 I remember when this came out I was so excited because Betty White is always hilarious and a joy to watch. And all three of the other actresses I've enjoyed in other sitcoms in the past. Some critics were not kind to this sitcom a but I love it. I think the first season was a little clunky with the writing and the characters were getting into their roles but it kept getting better and better and by the time it ended I didn't want it to end. Thank God for reruns LOL ...It's the sitcom version of comfort food for adults. It's funny and a little edgy with the grown up humor but without being straight up vulgar and nasty. Love this show See more Andy S @readyfestivespirit 08/19/2023 I love Betty White and Jennifer Love! See more 03/14/2021 Greatest comedy ever!!
