Hot in Cleveland was a hit television sitcom that aired on TV Land between 2010 and 2015. The show followed the lives of three best friends who moved from Los Angeles to Cleveland in search of a fresh start. The series starred Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves, and Wendie Malick as the main cast, with Betty White serving as a recurring character.

Valerie Bertinelli played Melanie Moretti, a writer who is going through a divorce in the pilot episode. Bertinelli's character is the most grounded of the main cast, and she often serves as the glue that holds her group of friends together. Melanie is single and looking for love in her new home of Cleveland, but often finds herself in hilariously awkward situations.

Jane Leeves played Joy Scroggs, a beautician and former nemesis of Melanie's from Los Angeles. Joy is brash and outspoken, with a sharp wit and a tendency to say exactly what she's thinking. She becomes fast friends with Melanie and the other women, but often finds herself at odds with them over one thing or another.

Wendie Malick played Victoria Chase, a soap opera star whose career has faltered in recent years. Victoria is glamorous and self-centered, with a larger-than-life personality that often gets her into trouble. Although Victoria is unapologetically vain, she also has a vulnerable side that comes out as the series progresses.

Betty White played Elka Ostrovsky, a feisty senior citizen who becomes a close friend to the other women. Elka is quick-witted and sharp-tongued, with a dry sense of humor and a love of vodka. White's character initially appears as a recurring character, but she becomes part of the main cast in the second season and remains a fixture until the show's end.

The show also featured a number of recurring guest stars, including Craig Ferguson, Susan Lucci, and Huey Lewis, among others. The cast boasted of other brilliant performers like Jay Harrington, Georgia Engel, Dave Foley, John Mahoney, Carl Reiner, Juliet Mills, Tim Daly, Wayne Knight, Michael McMillian, David Starzyk, Casey Washington and Jon Lovitz.

One of the strengths of Hot in Cleveland was its clever writing and sharp, witty humor. The show often poked fun at Hollywood culture and aging, with a healthy dose of self-deprecating humor. The characters were relatable and likable, with each actor bringing a unique comedic sensibility to their role.

Another draw of the show was its focus on female friendship. The main characters were supportive of each other, and their bond was central to the storyline. The show tackled issues such as divorce, aging, and starting over in a new city, but it did so with a light touch and a sense of humor.

The show was also notable for its use of guest stars, with a wide range of actors and celebrities making appearances over the course of its run. Some, like Susan Lucci and Carl Reiner, played themselves, while others took on more unusual or comedic roles.

Overall, Hot in Cleveland was a well-written and well-acted sitcom that offered a fresh take on the classic "fish out of water" story. Its talented cast and witty writing made it a fan favorite for five seasons, and it remains a beloved entry in the TV Land lineup.

Hot In Cleveland is a series that is currently running and has 6 seasons (128 episodes). The series first aired on June 16, 2010.
