Valerie Bertinelli still has not made peace with the end of Hot in Cleveland, and she is not keeping quiet about it.
More than a decade after the TV Land sitcom premiered, the 66-year-old actress said that its 2015 ending still stings. She felt the show had plenty of stories left to tell. “I’m still more than grateful for the experience,” Bertinelli expressed, “and I’m still pissed off for cancelling us a year too early in my mind.”
A New Podcast Brings the Cast Back Together
Bertinelli is channeling that fondness into Still Hot in Cleveland, a “nostalgia-cast” she co-hosts with the show’s former executive producer, Todd Milliner. Each season of the sitcom gets its own two or three episodes, with guests that include former co-stars Wendie Malick and Jane Leeves plus the writers and crew who built it.
Hot in Cleveland ran from 2010 to 2015 and followed three Los Angeles friends whose flight to Paris makes an emergency landing in Ohio, convincing them to start their lives over in Cleveland. The late Betty White played the sharp-tongued caretaker of their new home.

Could There Ever Be a Revival?
Bertinelli is not ruling it out, though she admits White‘s absence complicates the math. White died in December 2021.
“I know Wendie’s not crazy about that idea, because she’s right, without Betty, how is it Hot in Cleveland?” Bertinelli said.
She believes the podcast, recorded in her home wine cave, is its own kind of reunion. It debuts first for members of her fan community, Valerie’s Place. For now, that is as close to a Cleveland reunion as fans are going to get.
