Betty White: 5 Million Viewers for Hot in Cleveland!

Betty White is a ratings juggernaut!!!!

The 88-year-old funny woman helped TV Land pull in nearly 5 million viewers for the Wednesday premiere of its first original sitcom, Hot in Cleveland. That’s amazing considering the network averages around 800,000 viewers during its primetime slots.

The comedy series also stars Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves and Wendie Malick — all pictured here.

Producers might want to book Betty for the Oscars ASAP!

I’m a little tired of the Betty White hoopla, but I can only hope that I am as in good health and active as she is when I am at that age.

Most cool! Good to see she’s keeping busy and at the top of her game – only a few more years to go and she’ll be in the George Burns & Bob Hope category!

I saw the show last night, and it was cute.. I just hope they don’t shove Betty down our throats.. She was funny, but the one liners can get a bit old.

I love Jane Leeves.. ever since Fraiser.. Glad to see her and Wendie back on the TV.. both are very funny and have great timing.

Just makes you wonder why really talented women don’t get the breaks less talented ones do..

Good for Betty White and all her deserved attention but is it me or do I see burn out on the horizon!. She’s funny with the one liners but come on she’s on every talk show every day. Enough is enough. Give it a rest.

Am I the only one tired of seeing Betty White’s face everywhere I turn? I’m sure she’s a lovely lady, but c’mon it’s a little too much.

I watched the show and it was great! All 4 women hold their own and the banter between Jane Leeves and Betty White is priceless. I grew up watching Valerie Bertanelli and I can’t believe she’s 50. She looks fantastic. Wendy Malik’s vain fading Soap Opera Queen character had a few zingers too. I’ll be tuned in next week. Brava Ladies!

Just the fact that she’s 88 and still going strong that’s admirable in itself, she’s very charming and cool. All the woman on this show are funny.

Stop complaining.It’s not like Betty is forcing you to read about her.Betty deserves all the attention she’s getting There are far more worse people who get’s publicity for all the wrong reasons.Just the fact that people are sill interested in an old lady like her is extremely fascinating.

i know Betty White is a real talent but come on ,enough is enough. Everytime you turn around there she is with her ‘same ole lines’ that are getting as old as she is. Betty, less is more. Give us less to enjoy.

Good to see she’s keeping busy and at the top of her game – only a few more years to go and she’ll be in the George Burns & Bob Hope category!
