Val's back.
And better than ever.
Valerie Bertinelli has signed on to star in a-yet-to-be named new comedy pilot for TBS from Writer/Executive Producer Dave Caplan. A two-time Golden Globe® winner, best known for her roles as Barbara Royer on the classic One Day at a Time, and Gloria on Touched By An Angel, Bertinelli will play a single mother trying to run a business while raising two children. The premise of the show is inspired by events in Caplan’s own life. She'll also serve as producer.
“Valerie Bertinelli became a popular fixture on television playing one of two children being raised by a single working mother,” said Michael Wright, senior vice president in charge of the Content Creation Group for TBS, TNT and Turner Classic Movies. “Now she's exploring that world from the opposite angle, playing a single working mother raising two children. Between Valerie’s comic skills and Dave Caplan’s highly relatable humor, we’re very excited to watch this pilot take shape.”

Why?
Because: a) I happen to really like Valerie Bertinelli; b) think it's freakin' cool how many people she's inspired (including my best friend from high school) being a spokesperson for Jenny Craig and through her autobiography, Losing It – and Gaining My Life Back One Pound at a Time; c) loved Touched By An Angel, so seeing any alum from that show back on the small screen is good by me.
