Valerie Bertinelli is plotting a return to the sitcom biz, this time playing a single mother of two.
The former “One Day at a Time” star has signed on to a still-untitled TBS pilot from Sony Pictures Television and writer-exec producer Dave Caplan.

Bertinelli will play a woman who struggles to care for two kids and a lumber business after her husband walks out on her. She’ll also have a producer credit on the project. Caplan’s recent credits include TBS’ “The Bill Engvall Show,” as well as “The Drew Carey Show” and “George Lopez.”

Bertinelli was most recently seen in Lifetime original pic “True Confessions of a Hollywood Starlet.”

It would be great to see Val in a TV series again (she still looks terrific). But
I wouldn't count on it; a lot of pilots are made every year that never
even get aired. (Sigh!) Still, one can always hope!

Since it is a pilot for TBS, I think it has a much better practically a guarantee for at least 8 episodes or so, Valerie brings star power....she hasn't had much luck in past sitcom efforts though, she has had 2 previous failed network sticoms. She also has a talk show in developement but her heart is with sitcoms, the premise sounds very interesting, in fact it sounds exactly like "One day at a time" only updated!
