I've been watching that new show, Hot in Cleveland. It's funny, and the cast is kinda amazing, but I'm conflicted about continuing to watch.
The premise is insulting.
These three middle-aged women from California end up in Cleveland by accident and decide to stay because they're (compared to the native woof-woof buckeye gals) oh so hot and the Ohio men are just da-rool, da-rool all over them.
Really, now. Really? Because in actual life the ratio of movie star guys living in Ohio is roughly proportionate with the number of movie star women in Ohio. So good luck to the producers in finding enough of them to last through season two...
Except since they're probably not using real Ohioans for the parts, the producers can just import men from CA, or wherever it is they store all the pretty people until they need them.
Or maybe by season two the women will have spent enough time sucking down enough chili cheese fries and Kessler and Coke to lower their standards, and real men will start looking pretty cute to them too.
