In Happily Divorced, TV Land, the cable channel for baby boomers, finally may have found the perfect companion to its smash "Hot in Cleveland." Read full review

The premise, based on Drescher's real life, means gay jokes galore but somehow it works, at least for those of us who are suckers for the throwback style. [17 Jun 2011, p.92]

The show has some hilarious moments and perks along between them as you might expect a Drescher show to. It's a fine and frothy companion to the big show on TV Land (is that an oxymoron?) at 10 p.m. Wednesday, the Betty White-starrer Hot in Cleveland. Read full review

It stays old school and unambitious in order to blend in well with the classic sitcoms on TV Land's roster. The scripts are more like excuses for the stars to go on camera and ham it up than well-constructed state-of-the-art comic material. Read full review

If you love Fran Drescher, and just the sound of her voice sends you into peals of laughter, happily settle in to enjoy her divorce. If, however, her voice makes your inner dog howl, run like your rear is on fire. Read full review

Though the series is based on the friendship Drescher developed with her real-life husband after he realized he was gay, there's not a second of the debut episode that feels like it has any connection to actual human behavior. Read full review

Brian Lowry

Jun 15, 2011

The premise's autobiographical underpinnings notwithstanding, Divorced is so painfully broad and filled with gay stereotypes all but Drescher's most faithful fans will yearn to be separated from their TVs. Read full review

THIS SHOW IS BRILLIANT! Should be on for an hour instead of 30 min! I had to write this as each actor is brilliant on that show. My daughter and I watch it religiously & it makes our entire week! We cant wait till the next week comes to see the next show! I wish it never goes off the air!THIS SHOW IS BRILLIANT! Should be on for an hour instead of 30 min! I had to write this as each actor is brilliant on that show. My daughter and I watch it religiously & it makes our entire week! We cant wait till the next week comes to see the next show! I wish it never goes off the air! Fran is a genius! The cast is incredible/JohnMIchaelHiggins makes us want to hug him! Rita Moreno cracks me up so much/brilliant again, the father, just a fantastic story line. Makes us laugh and feel good. Im a tough critic in general, and I loved The Nanny, but this is even more fantastic that that show! Ive turned so many people on to The Nanny, and now Im telling everyone about Frans new show. Give me more, Its not enough! I want more Fran! 30 min is not enough, and this show has been written brilliantly, the laughs are plentiful, and it fills the soul with joy. Thank you Fran and Petie! :) Love you so much.… Expand

Happily divorced has a premise that evokes immediate laughter. After years of marriage, the husband comes out of the closet and remains living in the same house with the wife. Sitcom gold.

Well, it's not JUST a bunch of gay jokes, but there are plenty of them. There's some good sitcom humor too, enough that I stuck it out for 3 episodes hoping it would get better. Unfortunately, TV Land's latest attempt is a failure. They should just make Hot in Cleveland 2 hours long and forget any other original programming.… Expand

I'm simply editing because, for some reason, my rating of this catastrophe is showing up as a positive. That is not a word that could be associated with this show except in the context of how sure I am that the show is a dog. You TV Bland plants need to piss off.
