    TV Land tries to build on its surprise sitcom hit "Hot in Cleveland" with Retired at 35, a spectacularly unfunny show that reflects a parent's worst nightmare: A grown child moves home for no good reason and shows no sign of budging.

    Retired at 35 does have the good sense to create a story. If it ever relaxes enough to tell it, the show could become more than "lukewarm in Florida."

    This show lurches along, all its sitcom puzzle pieces laid out without being assembled into even a Hollywood picture of life.

    I can't see this comedy having long-term appeal, given the thinness of the premise and the boring character at its center.

    It has its moments and is well-appointed with seasoned actors who know how to hit their marks. So if you like Hot In Cleveland, then by all means stick around.

    A death row convict on life support would demand my attention more than this ill-fated sitcom. The characters are uninteresting....the plotsA death row convict on life support would demand my attention more than this ill-fated sitcom. The characters are uninteresting....the plots are anemic.....and, just as in "Just Shoot Me", the "whoosieface-what'shisname" that I refuse to remember is horrible. What a shame to have an entertaining show like "Hot in Cleveland" lead into something that scores about as many points as, well, the Cleveland Browns. Full Review »
