Line 1: {{work}}{{outdated}} [[File:HotInClevelandGroupPic 1758.png\|frame\|From left to right: Victoria, Melanie, Joy and Elka]] ''~~'''~~[[Hot in Cleveland~~'''~~]]'' iswas an American sitcom airing on [[TV Land]] starring [[Valerie Bertinelli]] (Melanie Moretti), [[Jane Leeves]] (Rejoyla "Joy" Scroggs), and [[Wendie Malick]] (Victoria Chase) as three past-their-prime entertainment industry veterans from Los Angeles. One day, their lives are changed when their Paris-bound plane makes an emergency landing in Cleveland, Ohio. Here, the group finds a welcoming community that is less shallow, youth-obsessed and weight-conscious than LA. Melanie falls in love with the place and leases a home with sassy caretaker Elka Ostrovsky, played by [[Betty White]]. It's essentially ''[[Golden Girls]]'' with a slightly younger cast. The series, which is TV Land's first original scripted series, premiered on June 16, 2010, and was the channel's highest rated telecast in the cable network's fourteen-year history. The show iswas written by Suzanne Martin (''[[Frasier]]'', ''[[Ellen]]'') and is produced by Sean Hayes and Todd Milliner of Hazy Mills Productions. The series iswas taped in front of a live ~~studio~~[[Studio ~~audience~~Audience]] at CBS' Studio City in Los Angeles using a multi-camera format. ~~Season~~It 3ran ~~began~~for ~~airing~~six inseasons, from 2010 ~~November~~to ~~2011~~2015. ~~{{examples}}~~ {{tropelist}} * [[Accidental Marriage]]: In the season two finale, Joy and Victoria wake up to discover that they got married the other night. {{spoiler\|It isn't until the end that they discover they married each other}}. * [[Actor Allusion]]: Lots. Betty White's cellmate in the second season premiere is [[The Mary Tyler Moore Show\|Mary Tyler Moore]]. The mother of Melanie's boyfriend is [[One Day At a Time\|Bonnie Franklin]]. [[Frasier\|Peri Gilpin]] plays a friend of all three of the gals. * [[Adam Westing]]: [[Susan Lucci]] seems to be getting a big kick out of playing an exaggerated version of herself as a mean, vindictive, spiteful rival and frenemy to Victoria. * [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]] * [[Ascended Extra]]: Elka was only supposed to appear in the pilot, but was so well-received by early viewers, she was made into a core cast member. Line 15 ⟶ 16: * [[But for Me It Was Tuesday]]: In the second season premiere. {{quote\|Elka: So, what are you in for? [[Mary Tyler Moore\|Cellmate:]] Drunk and disorderly. Or as I call it... ~~tuesday~~Tuesday. }} * [[Brick Joke]]: That "Mommy Dearest" tell-all Victoria mentions one of her children as having threatened to write about her? Gets turned into a movie two seasons later... * [[But We Used a Condom]]: Joy claims that she became pregnant even when using a condom. Line 36 ⟶ 37: * [[Hair Flip]]: Victoria attempted to do one while on ''All My Children'', but due to Susan Lucci's interference, was unable to complete it. * [[Hey, It's That Guy!\|Hey, It's That Gal]]: The show has [[One Day At a Time\|Barbara Cooper]] (or [[Touched By an Angel\|Gloria]]) sharing a house with [[Frasier\|Daphne Moon]] and [[Just Shoot Me\|Nina Van Horn]] (or [[Fillmore!\|Principal Folsom]]), with [[The Golden Girls\|Rose Nylund]] (or, if you like, [[The Mary Tyler Moore Show\|Sue Ann Nivens]]) as their caretaker. * [[Hollywood Homely]]: In-Universe - the entire premise of the show. The main women are seen this way in Los Angeles, but are pretty in Cleveland. * [[Homage]]: The episode "Indecent Proposals" is basically one to ''[[Sex and the City]]''. * [[I Ate What?]]: Poor Melanie and her tapeworm... * [[I Want Grandkids]]: Joy's mother reminds her about never having children every time they speak. * [[I Was Quite a Looker]]: Elka * [[Japandering]]: Victoria dreamed of the day that she build enough success, respect, and credibility as an actor to piss it all away for a boatload of cash. She didn't, however, expect it to be for [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGNZGKiMV-E "Lady Pants."] * [[Kavorka Man]]: Rick Line 55 ⟶ 56: '''Victoria:''' surprised look on her face }} ** Granted, she could've had a multiple birth but it's always stated in a way that points to the otherwise. * [[Place Worse Than Death]]: Cleveland. * [[Reality Is Unrealistic]]: Victoria entered and LOST a look-a-like contest, as herself. She was supposed to be a drag queen look-a-like, but she still lost (to a Susan Lucci look-a-like.) * [[Rich Bitch]]: Victoria can be considered an example, except her finances, or lack thereof are a recurring problem for her. Line 64 ⟶ 65: * [[Squick]]: An In-Universe - example Victoria fills in for Juliet in the High School play and has to kiss a high school boy. The audience cringes. Lampshaded by Elka {{quote\|'''Elka:''' [[Refuge in Audacity\|it's funny]] [[Crosses the Line Twice\|'cause it's gross]]}} * [[Stripper Cop Confusion]]: At Elka's bachelorette party. * [[Take That]]: To [[Justin Bieber]] of all people. When it's discovered that Elka has him on her iPod: {{quote\|"I ''love'' her! They keep saying she's a boy, but I'm not buying it."}} And to ''[[Glee]]'', too: {{quote\|"''(Joy and Victoria are spying on Melanie and her ex-husband)"'' "'''Joy:''' What's going on?" "'''Victoria:''' She's making a heartfelt speech while he's stares at her like an idiot. It's like those warm moments on ''Glee''!" }} Joy's admirer Rick mentions that in the Battle of the Bands, a group of hot youngsters will perform and blames it on ''[[Glee]]''. * [[Teen Pregnancy]]: Joy was revealed to have given a child up for adoption in episode 2. * [[Theme Naming]]: Meet Victoria's children: Emmy, Oscar, and Tony (She doesn't like Tony that much.) * [[The Unfavorite]]: Victoria's third child, Tony * [[White Dwarf Starlet]]: Victoria * [[Whole-Plot Reference]]: "Elka's Big Day" for ''[[The Hangover]]". {{reflist}} [[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]]▼ [[Category:Comedy Series]] [[Category:Live-Action TV of the 2010s]] [[Category:The New Tens]] ▲[[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]]
