Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Hot in Cleveland is worth clearing space for. The jokes in Hot in Cleveland land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Three fabulous, eccentric, LA best friends of a certain age have their lives changed forever when their plane unexpectedly lands in Cleveland and they soon rediscover themselves in this new "promised land." Valerie Bertinelli and Jane Leeves lead a cast with the timing to make it work. The series ran for 6 seasons (2010–2015), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. Hot in Cleveland earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Hot in Cleveland is the kind of thing you put on in the background and end up fully watching. Fans of Laverne & Shirley will recognise the sensibility here immediately. 6 seasons gives the story real room to develop. Valerie Bertinelli anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.

Hot in Cleveland wrapped up in 2015, created by Suzanne Martin — and 6 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
