Hot in Cleveland 1.4 Sex that Got Away is Passable ***
edwagreen7 July 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Whie the previous episode was better, this one can hold its own very nicely.

Victoria is the main star in this one. Going with the other girls and Elka to a rock concert, she meets an old beau who dropped her years before. She plans to get back at him by throwing a drink in his face until he speaks well to her.

The hilarity really begins back at his pad. Both soon discover that the years have left them with some physical problems when they both try to make certain moves on each other.

Bette White really has a grumpy voice on the show. Her talk about the "bad boys" in Poland in the 1930s is not the greatest. I had warned her from the first show to stay away from that kind of material. I don't know what the writers are thinking.

Tacky

Hot In Cleveland has so far been a genuinely funny look at three middle-aged women (plus Elka) making a new start in life, with some novel twists on subjects like blind dates.

The Sex That Got Away is just a tacky story about Victoria wanting to have sex with an old flame, and the comedy is pretty smutty in places.

There were some funny moments in the hotel room which could have been more germaine to the story - the idea that two old lovers are now just old lovers. But overall, the gags aren't particular funny, Mel's misunderstood gestures were largely predictable, and Joy had practically no storyline at all.

A poor entry, that does nothing to endear the characters to us.
