In the pilot, the single Los Angeles trio ends up in Cleveland en route to Paris due to plane trouble (only Joy, who gave a son up for adoption, has never been married). With nothing better going on back home, they decide to stay. As it turns out, their house comes with a caretaker: White's tracksuit-sporting widow Elka. It isn't a very believable scenario, but that isn't the intention. Instead, story lines revolve around the hopes and fears of women over 40.
Throughout the 10 episodes in the first season, their paramours include such familiar faces as John Schneider, Huey Lewis, Tim Conway, and Carl Reiner (Seinfeld's Wayne Knight also tries to seduce Mel, but with less success). Other guest stars include Hal Linden as Victoria's father, Shirley Knight as Mel's mother, and Joe Jonas as her son. The extras offer three featurettes, a blooper reel, Victoria's Japanese commercial for "lady pants," the original version of the first episode, and the pilot of Retired at 35. Hot in Cleveland may be a throwback, but these funny ladies make that seem like a virtue. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
