Hot in Cleveland is so obvious it isn’t funny. Come on folks, I like Betty White and as Rose and her other characters in the show with Mary Tyler Moore were VERY FUNNY...I do not think her mouth is funny at all. They have her saying way too many assinine and ridiculous things and she says them. As for the other three...they all have lines and what a waste. Especially the lady that was the gal on Frasier who married Martin. She’s got real talent and it is being wasted on this show. sorry...that’s my opinion about it all.
We need some good solid shows with PLOTS. Good Lord...we LOVED Julia Louis Dreyfus in Seinfeld but...after the first Julia show...didn’t they arealize she was made for the character in Seinfeld? going to the new adventures of the old Julia is ridiculous. Has anyone else see it? I LOVED Elaine but she is awful in this new series. Yes, bring back some of the old shows with real plots and real funny comedy. All that is on now is people hopping in and out of bed with someone. That’s a story????
I think the problem is a lack of good writers. The trade must be dominated by oversexed, sadomasochistic queers with a sick sense of humor. The whole industry is overpaid for the crap they produce.
Network TV basically produces 2 types of shows: Sexually suggestive sitcoms & increasingly bloody crime dramas. Both are pure trash, IMO.
No wonder old reruns rate better than new shows.
