Hot Properties
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Hot Properties was also a live early-1980s Lifetime talk show hosted by Richard Belzer.
Hot Properties was an ensemble comedy featuring four women working together in a Manhattan real estate office. It was first aired on October 7, 2005. Often compared to Sex and the City, this show features four single women professionals, each with distinct personalities that contribute in their failure to secure dates. The comparison to the successful Sex and the City led many critics to describe the show as unoriginal. The women share a passion for Oprah.
On November 29, 2005, ABC announced that the show would not extend more than 13 episodes, which is usually a sign of impending cancellation. The final episode of this series aired on Friday, December 30, 2005.

Chloe is down to earth, but has a terrible memory problem, and relies on self-help books for personal advice.
Lola is a curvy Latina who has emerged from a recent divorce, after her husband came out as gay. Throughout the show, men stare at her, and compete for Lola's attention, to which she is often oblivious. Lola's desire for handsome men often leads her in pursuit of gay men, resulting in disappointment. As a result, she is often afraid to go dating. Lola hopes to improve her "gaydar" in order to avoid future disappointments.
Emerson is young and rich, with little work experience. She was engaged, but upon discovering that the fiancee was not a virgin, broke it off. She bonds instantly with her roommates.
