An actress who is so into herself, a make-up artist and a divorcing writer take a plane ride to Paris only to be sidetracked to Cleveland, Ohio when the plane must make an emergency landing. While there, Valerie Bertinelli, the writer, who the show seems to center on, finds love and decides to remain in Cleveland. The other 2 gal pals decide to stay with her.
A lot of this is far-fetched. In the house they are staying in, they meet up with the caretaker, played by Bette White. I almost thought I was going to hear Rose Nylan again from "The Golden Girls." White has that magical timing, but her line on fleeing with the Nazis had better not be used again. This will only tend to trivialize the holocaust. (Remember in "Golden Palace" when the late Estelle Getty chided a Spanish boy seeking to be hid by stating: "What is this Anne Frank?" That line drew much criticism and didn't help the show.)
Am just wondering how much can be further developed from the premise. After all, unlike "Golden Girls" these 3 ladies are in the prime of life and not retired. The actress who is really into her self has the potential to carry some hilarious lines with her.
We shall see.
