Hot in Cleveland ‘s Wendie Malick knows the art of the sitcom forwards and backwards, but that doesn’t mean she overlooks the inspirational perks of working with a bunch of TV veterans. We grill her about playing washed-up actress Valerie Chase, remembering Just Shoot Me , and what she’s learned from Betty White.

One of the most unfortunate scheduling reveals during upfront week came when CBS shifted their Monday night behemoth Big Bang Theory to Thursday at 8pm, placing it in direct competition with the ratings-deficient NBC sitcom Community . So how does Community plan on fighting back against such imposing odds? By hiring Betty White, of course.

Just one day after it was rumored that Oprah Winfrey’s Kitty Kelley-fied life would be getting the movie treatment — Viola Davis-as-Oprah, FTW ! — comes word that HBO and Barbara Walters are talking about adapting her biography, Audition , to the small screen. This has riled up ABC executives, of course, since they have been her employer since 1976 — but then again, they can’t offer Babs the sex and violence telling her life story would obviously require. No word yet on casting, but is there any doubt that Betty White will end up leading this thing? [ NYP ]

Oh God , indeed. According to Deadline , uber-producer Jerry Weintraub has just pitched Warner Bros. on the idea of remaking the George Burns comedy Oh God , with eyes on Betty White and Paul Rudd for the staring roles made famous by Burns and John Denver. The two haven’t been contacted yet, but no matter: Now that this is in the ether, how long before it actually happens? And worse: Doesn’t it feel totally uninspired? If the current Hollywood mandate states that Betty White must appear in everything , here are five movies better suited for her than a remake of Oh God .

Obligation #1: I have to remind you to watch this damn show. It’s effing good. You’ll remember it later. You’ll cry a bunch. You’ll call your daughter in college and she’ll know all about it. Obligation #2: It’s been stated before, but So You Think You Can Dance would be better if the judges voted on who’s eliminated instead of the home viewers. We can’t trust couch potatoes in Tuscaloosa to pick a superior between Alex Wong, Billy Bell, and Kent Boyd! Hell, we can’t trust TV critics at Movieline to do it. I’m uninformed, don’t make me ruin lives! At any rate, SYTYCD ‘s Top 11 faced off in a live competition round last night, and one routine even garnered the title of “Best Performance Ever.” Tumble with us as we disagree and break down each performance in “quick kicks.”

Everything touched by Betty White turns to gold, including last night’s so-so premiere of the network’s first original sitcom, Hot in Cleveland . In a statement released this morning, TV Land congratulated itself on the episode’s “scorching” rating of 1.9 among adults 25-54. Nearly 5 million viewers tuned in, making it the highest-rated and most-watched telecast in TV Land history. Now if only Betty White could do something about those vuvuzelas…

TVL and’s premiere of Hot in Cleveland last night felt like a quick call with old friends I’d been meaning to phone for years: Old neighbor Valerie Bertinelli? She’s doing well! Trusty Frasier star Jane Leeves? She’s still salty! Fave Just Shoot Me alum Wendie Malick? She’s still playing vain characters, wouldn’t you know! But just when the addictive nostalgia started to overcome me, Hot in Cleveland made some moves I wish it didn’t, proving there are probably some TV formats that are better left for dead in 1998.
