How is it possible that they thought that anyone, anywhere, ever, in the history of mankind, would get behind a show like Hot in Cleveland? The promos alone made me want to neck myself.
Then again, the success nine has enjoyed with shows like two and a half men and the big bang theory means it may not have seemed such a bad idea at the time.
