Renewal Wrap

Hot in Cleveland has been renewed for a THIRD SEASON. Hot in Cleveland airs on TV Land in the US. In Australia, it airs on Nine.

The show is headlined by Betty White, who has arguably surpassed her co-stars and fellow sitcom veterans Jane Leeves and Wendie Malick.

Showings has also renewed its two freshman shows.

Episodes, starring Matt le Blanc has been renewed for a SECOND SEASON.

It seems that le Blanc has shaken off the "Friends" tag... Mostly. He does, after all, play himself in the show... And "Joey" is often brought up.

Also, the US version of "Shameless" has been renewed for a SECOND SEASON.

It has drawn average reviews, with none raving about it. Nevertheless, Showtime has shown commitment and faith in the show and its star, William H Macy.

Ironically, and in a neat synergy between the two Showtime shows, Shameless is a remake of an arguably superior UK show, and Episodes revolves around a couple remaking their UK show for US TV.
