“We are thrilled that ‘Hot In Cleveland’ is TV Land’s first original sitcom,” states Larry W. Jones, president, TV Land.  “The talented cast has amazing chemistry and delivers the clever script from a renowned sitcom writer with hilarity and sincerity.  This show has enormous potential and we are so excited to be a part of it.”

  1. With Betty White this show is guaranteed to be ratings gold!

  4. watch the video. The laugh track is almost unbearable, however, it’s worth it to hear Betty White say “I was glad when your show got canceled.” (actually she says, “When it was canceled, I said, ‘Good riddance.’”)

    I wish we could afford to get her to do video renew/cancel reports.

    Yeah,the laughing is some of the most obtrusive I’ve ever heard on TV (although the Big Bang Theory’s not too far off). But this show really has a great cast and will probably do well for TV Land.

    It was like watching a “Frasier” episode until Betty White came in. Where’s Niles? :)

    Seems funny. I’ll give it a try.

    For the thousand and first time, Big Bang is filmed in front of a live audience. People who have attended tapings have stated the laughter is completely and 100% real.
