The series is taped in front of a live studio audience at CBS' Studio City in Los Angeles using a multi-camera format. Season 3 began airing in November 2011.
{{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 (TV)|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.
Line 13 ⟶ 12:
* [[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.
* [[Big "Shut Up!"]]: Whenever Victoria's agent calls.
* [[Brilliant but Lazy]]: Joy's mum describes her as this.
* [[But for Me It Was Tuesday]]: In the second season premiere.
Line 34 ⟶ 33:
** In a very odd coincidence that can be considered creepy. Elka and Sophia followed very similar paths. Elka was originally a much smaller part, but Betty White's [[Popularity Power]] convinced the producers to expand her character. Interestingly, Elka's ''Golden Girls'' Expy Sophia follows a similar path. Originally conceived as a [[Drop in Character]], Sophia responded so well with fans, the writers wrote out their original fourth character (Rose, Blanche, and Dorothy's gay cook, Coco) and wrote Sophia in.
** Let's keep this going. Victoria could be the show's Blanche, rather self-centered and vain. Joy is the second-in-command [[Deadpan Snarker]], similar to Dorothy. Melanie is the hardest to compare, although she does tend to be a rather sweet and naive Rose-type at times. At one point, Jane Leeves actually said the show could be called ''The Silver Girls.''
* [[Four
* [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]: Melanie does this a lot, but she is able to curse out her ex-husband.
* [[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
* [[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
Line 46 ⟶ 45:
* [[Kavorka Man]]: Rick
* [[Large Ham]]: [[White Dwarf Starlet]] Victoria likes to pretend that she's still on a soap opera set.
* [[May
* [[Murder Is the Best Solution]]: Joy's first plan whenever her friends are hurt is to kill the person.
