TV Land's historic reunion of the female cast of THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW on the network's original sitcom, HOT IN CLEVELAND, is here! Next Wednesday, September 4th at 10 p.m. ET/PT, TV Land brings together Mary Tyler Moore, Valerie Harper, Cloris Leachman, Georgia Engel and HOT IN CLEVELAND regular Betty White for an unprecedented reunion of one of the most revered TV casts of all time. This is the first time in over 30 years that the five former castmates have gotten together for a sitcom.

In the episode, Elka (White), Melanie (Valerie Bertinelli) Joy (Jane Leeves) and Victoria (Wendie Malick) are getting ready for their "birthdates" - their annual birthday tradition of setting each other up for dates - but choose to shake things up a bit this year. Elka and Mamie Sue (Engel) decide they want to get their bowling team back together, aptly named GLOB: the Gorgeous Ladies of Bowling.
