Hot in Cleveland Season 3

Hot in Cleveland, a comedy series produced by TV Land has
been making people laugh since its pilot episode on June 16, 2010. Now,
currently on its fourth season, it continues to remain one of TV Land’s most
popular sitcoms. The series recently released the DVD of the third season on
November 27, 2012.
Since the first two seasons, we have seen three women
from California adapt to living in Cleveland, Ohio. These women, Joy Scroggs (Jane
Leeves), a British beautician, Victoria Chase (Wendie Malick), a self-absorbed
actress and news reporter and Melanie Moretti (Valerie Bertinelli), an author,
have endured many trials since moving to Cleveland including multiple
break-ups, dealing with Hollywood rivals and worrying about their friend and
caretaker of their house, Elka Ostrovsky (Betty White) being in jail for
possession of stolen goods.
In
the third season, the hilarity continues as Elka is seen reuniting with her
husband who she thought was deceased. Later on in the season, the girls crash a
funeral to find Melanie’s favorite dress, Victoria designs shoes that are
impossible to walk in and the story behind how Victoria, Joy and Melanie met is
finally revealed. The ladies also try to become members of an exclusive country
club and Victoria tries to win a prestigious news award. Towards the end of the
season, Victoria tries to revive her old soap opera, Edge of Tomorrow. Victoria
also bids on an abandoned storage unit where she discovers an unsent letter
from U.S. President Abraham Lincoln.
With
each season, there is also an episode where the ladies celebrate their
birthdays with blind dates. These dates always end up going horribly wrong when
the girls are paired with very unusual dates. In this season, Elka is shown
going on a date with Santa Clause while Victoria dates a man with a tail.
Meanwhile, Joy dates a former priest and Melanie dates a man who sounds like
Mickey Mouse.
Many
guest stars also appear on the show including Susan Lucci who asks Victoria for
guidance after her soap opera, All My Children is canceled. Jennifer Love
Hewitt reprises her role as Victoria’s daughter, Emmy and Joe Jonas reprises
his role as Melanie’s son, Will when they reveal to the ladies that they are
engaged. Other guest stars include Kristin Chenoweth, Regis Philbin, Joan
Rivers and more.
In
the season finale, the girls develop tension as they get into a fight and
consider moving out of the home they live in together. The argument is resolved
but the drama doesn’t end as the episode ends with a cliffhanger when the
ladies receive an unexpected surprise that makes you want to tune in to the new
season just to see what happens next.
