Valerie Bertinelli Tweeted a picture of George Hamilton with Cloris Leachman in bathrobe and I wonder if the two of them have something to tell us? Nope, they were just taking a break from filming Hot in Cleveland that is back on TV Land on June 19th with a live episode.
Now when it comes to the episode they were filming, Cloris was reunited with her Mary Tyler Moore co-stars Valerie Harper, Mary Tyler Moore and Georgia Engle. An episode I can’t wait to see when it airs.
Now when it comes to Leachman even without makeup, the Beauty Queen is still very much a beauty.
Tonight at 10p TV Land is debuting their reality series Forever Young and everyone can learn a real lesson from this show.
Forver Young is an experiment where five people over 70 live with five people under 30 to see how the two generations get along. When the 10 people first enter the house they don’t see eye-to-eye, but as time goes on they each learn from the other age group. We all get to see that you can teach old dogs new tricks and the older generation does have something to say to the younger one.
In each of the 6 episodes we will learn some interesting things like World War II came before the Civil War, an 83 year old woman can work a pole better than most strippers, you’re never too old to start dating again and every generation can teach the other one something new.
There are many heartfelt moments in this series as the two generations get together to talk and bond over their lives. In fact it’s the rare reality show where you actually feel good about people after you watch it.
That’s because you get a perspective that you’ve never seen before on television. When I sat there and watched it, I learned a lot about the older generation through their eyes. So much so that it will really make you look at them differently and listen to what they have to say. But then I look at people that are my age and I see they have something to say too.
This show makes you realize that you shouldn’t always make assumptions about the other generations. You might think that that one age group thinks a certain way, but you will be surprised to find they are more accepting than you first thought. Wisdom comes with age, but it is also innate in all of us even at a young age. We also all go through hardships and just can’t assume because you are older that you are the only ones who have gone through it. There is one challenge that gives a really interesting perspective on money. Something I never realized before and something I will always take to heart and reconsider for the long run of my life.
There is so much segregation in our world that we forget one of the biggest forms of it is ageism. Forever Young makes us reevaluate that and everyone who watches it will come out of it for the better. What other reality show can you say that about?
I never felt so good watching a reality show as I did this one. Because it really made me look at my elders differently as in for the better and I hope the elders do the same when they watch this show. But then again I can’t see why they wouldn’t
Once again Ashton Kutcher breaks down barriers via his television shows, first with Beauty and the Geek and now with Forever Young. Who knew there was a social genius behind the man who starred in Dude, Where’s My Car?
I cannot say it enough Forever Young is a social experiment that everyone can learn from and more importantly enjoy watching whether they are under 30, over 70 or in the middle.
TV Land announced today that it picked up Hot In Cleveland for a 5th season. The new season will bring the show’s total episodes to 104 that number is 13 more than years Betty White has been gracing this world with her presence. Not a bad number for TV Land’s first original sitcom that also stars Valerie Bertinelli, Wendi Malick and Jane Leeves.
The sitcom will be back on June 19th with a live episode!
Hot in Cleveland is getting even this hotter August because Tim Conway and Carol Burnett are going to guest star on the TV Land sitcom. Betty White’s TV sister (Burnett) on Mama’s Family will play her roommate Victoria’s mother Penny. Conway will return as Elka’s (White) ex-boyfriend and he will have his eyes on Penny. And we will have tears coming from our eyes because we will be laughing so hard.
Ms. White once told me that she can’t keep a straight face around Conway, so imagine how hard it is going to be for her when she has to work with these two comedic legends together. I predict there will be so much laughter that we will wish we are wearing a pair of Lady Pants just like the ones that Victoria wore in that Japanese commercial.
Back in 2010 TV Land went from airing sitcoms that already aired to producing some of their own. Since then they have launched 5 new shows and up until now, none of them have been cancelled. I say that because according to Deadline Retired at 35 is living up to first part of its name. That’s because TV Land has cancelled the show after 2 season. And I have to say, it aired longer than it should’ve. I barely got through the pilot and never went back. Sounds like I am not the only one.
