Three Hot in Cleveland women walk into an Amish “gay bar”…
“What is this? An old-timey gay bar?”
— Victoria Chase (Wendie Malick), upon entering an Amish bar filled with bearded, hat-wearing men, on the season 3 premiere of Hot in Cleveland. The original TVLand sitcom, which had its season 3 premiere last night, features Malick, Jane Leeves and Valerie Bertinelli as three middle-aged L.A. women who, through an absurd set of circumstances, find themselves living in Cleveland, Oh. They live with Elka, an elderly caretaker played to sass-mouthed perfection by Betty White. The premiere also featured Bertinelli disguising herself as an Amish man and an appearance by George Wendt in a blatant (and amusing) nod to the actor’s days as Norm on Cheers.
