The stars... sink their teeth into their roles, and their enthusiasm is contagious.

Hot in Cleveland [brings] 156 years of TV acting experience with them. It's not wasted. The sitcom is funny and fresh, and the actors appear to be having the time of their lives.

Hot is also an anomaly in the same way Golden Girls was. It's nice to see a show filled with great comedy actresses who are considered a bit, um, mature for the broadcast networks.

Even if [writer Suzanne] Martin's script were more golden than it is, it would still represent a step backward for actresses who, at any age, deserve better than this kind of stunt casting.

Comfort food to its core, the show is a retro casserole tapping into a popular appetite for leftovers.

The show is unlikely to win Emmys but it is worth a few chuckles, spurred on by actresses in an age bracket not generally associated with leading roles on network sitcoms.

Hot in Cleveland is a by-the-numbers sitcom with a couple of laughs, an inoffensive premise and four seasoned actresses who make the material much better than it is.

The show works, though, by doing just what Golden Girls did, making White one of several equally interesting characters.

Hot in Cleveland... is a broad, Vaudeville-style sitcom where everything - story, characters, sets, sound engineering - is only there in service of the rat-a-tat of one-liners.

Ohio deserves better, and so do these fabulous ladies.
