Find Out Why It's So "Hot In Cleveland"

You can’t blame TV Land for wanting to keep some momentum going with their sitcom, “Hot in Cleveland.”

Because personally, I think they’ve got something really special going on here. And tonight’s one-hour special does nothing to convince me otherwise…

“Hot in Cleveland: Behind the Hotness” takes a look back at the show’s first season by showing you each character’s best moments. We also see all of the guest stars like Carl Reiner, Tim Conway and Hal Linden.

But more than that, we see that this show stars four women—Valerie Bertinelli, Wendie Malick, Jane Leeves and Betty White—who genuinely like each other and have a great time together. That’s obvious during the bloopers segment, which shows some really funny moments.

The show is a great recap, but it’s also an excellent introduction for anyone who has never watched the show. If you’ve never seen it, it’s about three women who are all at a crossroads in their lives. On the way to a vacation in Paris, they discover a place where they are appreciated for who they are—Cleveland. You could get tripped up by the somewhat flimsy premise, but then you’d miss the breezy comedy between four sitcom veterans.

I don’t think there’s any doubt that people tuned in to see Betty White. But what they found was a funny traditional sitcom. There’s nothing fancy about “Hot,” but sometimes a show doesn’t need a high concept to be worth watching.

And this special proves that point by showing us a small glimpse of what’s coming ahead for season two. It looks like things are going to get even hotter in Cleveland…

“Hot In Cleveland: Behind the Hotness” airs tonight (Sunday, December 12th) at 9 p.m. on TV Land…
