View Full Version : Barbara, Melanie, Valerie or all three?
Wawwie 10-25-2015, 10:27 PM How do you like Valerie Bertenelli?
For Valerie Bertenelli fans....
Do you just like Val as Barbara Cooper from One Day At A Time?
Do you like her as Melanie on Hot In Cleveland?
Do you like her new cooking show on the Cooking Channel as Valerie Bertenelli?
How do you like your Valerie?
Wawwie 10-25-2015, 10:30 PM In other words, do you still like her? Or do you just like her when she was young
Or do you just like her when she was young
Nicely played, making me feel low voting for Barbara:) . But I still have go back to the days when we "first met".
Oh, could you fix the last name? It's Bertinelli.
Wawwie 10-25-2015, 10:51 PM Oh, could you fix the last name? It's Bertinelli.
Actually, isn't it Bertinelli-Van Halen? :lol:

Well, now she's married to this guy-
204996
Wawwie 10-25-2015, 11:00 PM ^^^^ That guy looks better than Eddie VAn Halen in my opinion.
Good going! I wish them well. :)
Bonniegirl 10-25-2015, 11:21 PM I voted for Barbara!!!
But, it would have been cool if you added Other as an option!! She was in some really good Lifetime movies / Made for TV movies and is actually a really good dramatic actress!
But than for me it would be a toss up between Barbara and Other !
Mr. Television 10-26-2015, 01:24 AM I liked her then and I like her now. Barbara still rocks,
mets82 10-26-2015, 04:44 PM I'll vote for Barbara obviously when she was over 18. Never saw Hot in Cleveland and seen very little of her cooking show.
Bonniegirl 10-26-2015, 04:47 PM Nay on the cooking show!!! Nothing against Valerie, I just find cooking shows boring!!! Even though I actually like to cook, I don't really find a cooking show entertaining!!!
Wawwie 10-26-2015, 06:02 PM I hate the show Hot In Cleveland. It's too bad that Valerie plays the role of a middle aged whore. She is so slutty in that show. She's much more wholesome in ODAAT.

I've never seen it!!! It never seemed like a show that would interest me!!!:( Plus I don't like what became of TVLand!!!! A station that started out just like METV and Antenna, and ended up cr*p, playing new shows or showsthat aren't old enough that have nothing to do with the "TV Land theme"!!!! So I refuse to watch any new show on that station!!! ;)

Smart choice, Bonnie!
The new TVLAND shows really are total crap. "Younger" is the worst. It is such a whorish show. All of the new shows on that station are toxic IMO.
king of comedy 10-26-2015, 06:27 PM Melanie because I didn't see all of One Day at a time
Wawwie 10-26-2015, 06:28 PM Melanie because I didn't see all of One Day at a time
How come you didn't vote in the poll then? :confused:
king of comedy 10-26-2015, 06:29 PM Just did right now!
Wawwie 10-26-2015, 06:30 PM Just did right now!
:) :) :)
Bonniegirl 10-26-2015, 06:35 PM Smart choice, Bonnie!

TV Land was so cool at first!!!! I loved how it even showed old retro commercials!!! IDK what happened? Making the whole format change basically!!! :mad: They should rename the station and not call it TV Land anymore!!! ;)
DJM77 10-26-2015, 07:38 PM They should rename the station and not call it TV Land anymore!!! ;)
I think the choices for their new name should be Crap Land, TV Bland and Commercial Land.

I waited years before I even got TV Land and it went to crap within a couple years.
mets82 10-27-2015, 03:22 PM Its funny. I actually taped over I Love Lucy on TV Land from around 2003. They were airing episodes because the Lucy movie was on CBS. That movie, btw, just recently aired on POP. Well, anyway, TV Land was so good years ago. And yes, I loved the retromercials as well. But you know, there's always youtube. At least you can watch them at YOUR leisure.
Looks like a new poll- Do you
like Barbara?
like Melanie?
like cooking?
hate TVLAND?
'80sSitcoms 10-28-2015, 12:39 PM I've never seen it!!! It never seemed like a show that would interest me!!!:(
You might get a kick out of it; it's kind of like a "Golden Girls" of the new millennium, lol.
Bonniegirl 10-28-2015, 12:59 PM You might get a kick out of it; it's kind of like a "Golden Girls" of the new millennium, lol.
I'm not a Golden Girls fan at all!!! :)

You can also find (separate) guest appearances by Bonnie Franklin, Pat Harrington, and Mackenzie Phillips. The show is out there somewhere in syndication. If it were on one consistent network, I could point out those episodes.
Wawwie 10-28-2015, 05:00 PM You might get a kick out of it; it's kind of like a "Golden Girls" of the new millennium, lol.
Hot In Cleveland is not even in the same league as Golden Girls.
Hot In Cleveland SUCKS in my opinion.
Golden Girls is a classic. Every episode is a golden gem.
Mickey4ever 11-02-2015, 05:32 PM Hmmm....I don't have one answer...
I think she was always adorable as Barbara and she 'grew' into a nice adult version while on the show
I agree that TVLand mostly sucks, but I liked 'Hot in Cleveland'...the whole premise of the show basically was about the gals 'looking for love' whether in the wrong or right places...and Betty White likes to play the feisty, little foul mouth octogenarian, so they all played well together. There were SO many guest stars that showed up from all the past tv shows of the cast that were fun to watch.
I always enjoyed her made-for-tv movies...I seem to remember one where she played a nun that left the church or maybe the other way around, she went into the nunnery?? but I do remember liking it.
Never seen her cooking show so have no comment.
I think she is still a very attractive lady!
I still would like to know who voted I can't stand her. And if they could PM me their address, and maybe some directions, that would be useful too:)

First this and than she was referred to as "Wallpaper'!!!!:mad: And did you ever track down the person who said she looked like Peat Moss?? :mad: :lol:

To defend Mary Louise Wilson, if you go back to the autobio topic, wallpaper wasn't a direct quote from the book, just a word the OP used to convey she felt Val (and Mack) were more background to her. Being there only for one season, and with most of her scenes being with Ann and Schneider, I can buy that. I was going to ask you about Peat moss, but now I vaguely remember. You have a good memory.
Nordy 11-17-2015, 09:15 PM For me personally I love Valerie in anything. Heck even watched Touched By An Angel and Cafe Americana because she was in it. I voted for Melanie on HIC just because I like her older look.
howierules86 11-30-2025, 03:48 PM I voted for Melanie from Hot in Cleveland.
Bonniegirl 11-30-2025, 11:38 PM OK I admit it!! I'm the one who voted I can't stand her !!! No, just kidding, wasn't me .:lol: I voted Barbara, but since this thread was first made, I have watched Hot in Cleveland and like her in that. But I'll probably still keep my vote as her in her original role as Barbara.:)

If someone voted, that counts as posting in the thread, right? Which narrows down the suspects to this list.

Or the culprit could have just came upon the thread and voted. And never posted any comments in the thread? :confused:
This is a job for Perry Mason !!!
If just voting doesn’t add someone’s name to the list I go with Anna Karenina. Maybe she was mad at me at the time.
If not I think OP Wawwie did it.
Dude111 12-01-2025, 02:21 PM I picked her Cooking show......

I think you are right. I thought so yesterday sort of, but didn't post it, I took the beating around the bush route! :crazy::cool:

Nope, I confess ~~ I DID IT ~~ :nod: :nod:

stevea 12-02-2025, 10:50 AM Who could REALLY not stand VB?
I've always liked her on ODAAT, so that was my vote.
As far as some of the comments about TV Land, I couldn't agree more. It and Nick at Nite are just a couple of Viacom auto pilot networks now.

You’re not really posting your full address publicly on the internet, are you?

I beat around the bush once. Good times.

There should be a few more TV choices in the poll.
