Although it’s been four years since TV Land pulled the plug on its first scripted series, Valerie Bertinelli is still not over the loss of her sitcom, “Hot in Cleveland.”
Speaking at the Food Network’s panel during the Television Critics Association press tour, the 58-year-old actress was promoting her new series, “Family Food Showdown,” when she got to talking about her last sitcom and how upset she is that it’s no longer running.

For those unfamiliar, “Hot in Cleveland” ran for six seasons from 2010 to 2015. It starred Bertinelli, Jane Leeves, Wendie Malick and Betty White. It told the story of three aging showbusiness veterans from Los Angeles, who decide to lease a house in Cleveland after their plane headed to Paris is forced to make an emergency landing.
