Season 1 Review: Comfort food to its core, the show is a retro casserole tapping into a popular appetite for leftovers. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMaureen Ryan
Season 1 Review: It's a broad, unsubtle sitcom, one that may be worth watching for White, but otherwise is only moderately amusing at best. Read full review

Season 1 Review: I simply hope Hot in Cleveland can give us more than the lukewarm pilot promises. Ohio deserves better, and so do these fabulous ladies. Read full review

Boston GlobeMatthew Gilbert
Season 1 Review: 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. Read full review

Philadelphia Daily NewsEllen Gray
Season 1 Review: This is a cast that for the most part has experienced good, even great, writing in the past, and while I'm not saying Martin's pilot is laugh-free, it's a sight closer to her deservedly short-lived ABC sitcom "Hot Properties" than it is to "Frasier." Read full review

Season 1 Review: Hot in Cleveland, in other words, is like an artificially created rerun, as if someone discovered the masters of a sitcom that had been locked up in a vault since 1987. And I don't mean that in a good way. Read full review
