More Guests Come to Hot in Cleveland, Including Bonnie Franklin; The Simpsons Renewed for Season 23

This is it! Celebrated actors Bonnie Franklin (One Day At A Time), Melanie Griffith (Something Wild), Illeana Douglas (To Die For), Wayne Knight (Seinfeld, 3rd Rock From The Sun), John Schneider (Dukes of Hazzard), Sherri Shepherd (The View), David Starzyk (The Young and The Restless) and Jack Wagner (General Hospital) will all guest star on the second season of TV Land's hit original sitcom Hot in Cleveland, which returns on January 19, 2010 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. They join previously announced guest star Mary Tyler Moore -- who will appear on the season premiere -- on the list of celebrities appearing this season. If you live under a rock, Hot in Cleveland stars acclaimed actresses Valerie Bertinelli (One Day at a Time), Jane Leeves (Frasier), Wendie Malick (Just Shoot Me) and recent multiple Emmy® Award-winner, Betty White (The Golden Girls, The Mary Tyler Moore Show).
Bonnie Franklin's appearance on Hot in Cleveland reunites her on-screen with Bertinelli after 26 years. The two starred together as mother daughter on the long-running sitcom One Day At A Time from 1975 to 1984.

Fox has renewed The Simpsons, the longest-running comedy in television history, for an incredible 23rd season, bringing the series total to an impressive 515 episodes. The Simpsons of course airs Sundays at 8:00 PM ET/PT on Fox. The 500th episode will air sometime next season (2011-2012).
This season (season 22), America's favorite family continues to entertain us with their wild and outlandish adventures as Maggie goes missing, Homer becomes a premier hairdresser, Moe's Tavern is converted into an ultra-trendy bar and the family debates the best way to spend the holiday season. Guest stars paying Springfield a visit in upcoming episodes include actors Halle Berry, Paul Rudd, Ricky Gervais, Rachel Weisz, Jon Hamm, Kristen Wiig, Alyson Hannigan and Joe Mantegna; basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar; lifestyle guru Martha Stewart; and pop sensation Katy Perry, who appears in a live-action sequence alongside Simpsons puppets.
