"Hot in Cleveland is to be adapted for Russian television. The TV Land sitcom has received its first scripted adaptation deal and will air in Russia from July 29.  The new version will follow the same plotlines as the original TV Land series, which stars Valerie Bertinelli, Wendie Malick and Jane Leeves as three women who move to Cleveland to lead quieter lives. The revised programme will see the story adapted so that the main characters move to a small town, having formerly lived in Moscow. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Russian versions of CBS sitcoms Everyone Loves Raymond and The Nanny have previously scored high ratings in the country.  The US version of the show was renewed for a fifth season in March, allowing it to meet syndication requirements by reaching 100 episodes. At the time, TV Land exec Larry W Jones said: &amp;quot;This is an incredible milestone for the show and for TV Land. To have our first scripted sitcom make it to the syndication level is a huge accomplishment. &amp;quot;We have a brilliant creative team both in front of and behind the camera. We are so proud to be on this exciting ride with them.&amp;quot; The show has seen cameos from high-profile stars such as Liza Minnelli, Tom Arnold, William Shatner and Shirley Jones.
