The ratings for this staple of TV Land have been falling for years. They’re a far cry from the first season’s 3.12 million average. Will they start to recover this year? Could this be the final season for Hot in Cleveland? Cancelled or renewed for season seven? Stay tuned.
Hot in Cleveland continues to follow the lives of three middle-age ladies from Los Angeles — writer Melanie Moretti (Valerie Bertinelli), beautician Joy Scoggs (Jane Leeves), and actress Victoria Chase (Wendie Malick). When their flight to Paris makes an emergency landing in Cleveland, Ohio, they discover a community that’s less shallow and youth-obsessed. They move there and lease a home with a sassy caretaker, Elka Ostrovsky (Betty White).
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

What do you think? Do you still like the Hot in Cleveland TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a seventh season?
Just can’t get enough of this great, funny show. They are all so good and Betty White makes it all happen. The writers know what is best for each performer!
Your station doesn’t have any other programs that are even close to being as funny as hot in Cleveland. I think this is a big mistake to cancel. Everyone I know thinks the same way. I really hope you bring it back. I’ve recorded and watch every show a few times, I hope you reconsider. Every show does it’s best the first year. Also it’s the only show like this that the guys like it as much as the ladies.
Hot in Cleveland is probably one of the funniest shows that I have seen in years. I can’t believe the TV Land is removing /cancelling it..it’s a big big big disappointment. please bring it back.please bring it back.
TV Land was crazy to cancel this show.
I LOVE Hot in Cleveland, and believe, contrary to some of its critics, that it actually got better in the last two seasons, more depth, more humor. I fail to understand why the audience shrunk. I think some of the earlier episodes, through perhaps season 3, sometimes fell woefully weak, with farcical plotting. The last episode lent the impression it could still return. How I would love for that to happen. To see Bette White at work in such good form is a treasure.. I wanted to go to LA to watch a taping, but was told you are there… Read more »
I still watched it and enjoyed. I would love to see it continue.
This was disappointing the show got cancelled. It was a big “golden girl-esque” but with a younger crew. Thought all were cast perfectly, and in one episode, Victoria discovered Susan Lucci was her sister – too bad that storyline couldn’t develop. Granted I have missed some shows but I always DVR’d them!
Just a funny show with simple clever writing for a middle age crowd. It worked!
I watched Hot in Cleveland finale last evening…still feeling shell shocked. It was wonderful to see as many men writing comments as women. Not surprising. I used to ‘check in’ on the Golden Girls to see what antics they were up to. Apparently, it was not lost on my young son at the time. For the past 6 years, as an adult, he had been ‘checking in’ on Betty, Jane, Valerie & Wendy’s antics. Good-bye ladies…your antics will be missed!
I love Hot in Cleveland and am sad it is ending. So much better than everything else on TV
I love this show! Please don’t cancel it. It is the most entertaining and funny funny show on TV. What a great cast and the guest stars are just as fabulous!
Continue Hot in Cleveland!!…. This show is witty, entertaining, and extremely well written. There are so few shows that compare to this one. I’m a big fan of the show & cast & will miss the many laughs…. TV Land: Continue Hot in Cleveland!!
I love this show!! I rarely keep watching comedy sitcoms because I don’t find them funny
I wouldn’t miss an episode of Hot in Cleveland
Loved them all!! Just am so upset to see this end
Just rarely find this kind of talent and quality
Please continue Hot in Cleveland! The show is great and the characters are wonderful! The episodes always make me laugh. Because it comes on too late for me I watch the reruns on the weekends or on demand. Please reconsider. Thank you.
I love Hot in Cleveland. I don’t want the show to end. I love each and every episode the show has changed me so much Jane, Wendie, Valerie, and Betty are such amazing beautiful women. Don’t tear apart these 4 caring and sexy women. Every time I watch the show I laugh and cry. Jane Leeves character Joy reminds me of myself because I have had terrible relationships in the past. My first took advantage of me and the second one cheated on me with a younger woman. I felt horrible and told myself I would never find love or… Read more »
