Today's TWoP News: November 2, 2010

Cleveland just got fleetingly hotter.

We knew there was a reason this show existed -- Hot in Cleveland will reunite Betty White with her old castmate Mary Tyler Moore! Apparently, all they needed to do to make us pay attention was keep hiring veteran TV actors to guest star until they hit on an exciting combination! (Sorry, John Schneider and Susan Lucci.)

NYPD Blue fans rejoice -- Rick Schroder will guest-star on No Ordinary Family as a man whose life is saved by super-strong patriarch Jim. Here's hoping the former Detectives Danny Sorensen and Vic Mackey then team up to bust some perps.

Salma Hayek and her Ugly Betty writers are bringing another telenovela to American TV! Argentinian soap Los Roldan is about a working-class man who saves a rich woman and is hired to run her company. As long as he's not a con artist with a secret life back in Texas, they should be okay!

Although it supposedly has absolutely nothing to do with Liz Lemon's fictional book/unproduced talk show Dealbreakers on 30 Rock, the similarly-titled blog that ABC is turning into a TV show basically sounds like a scripted version. Meaning it sounds just as contrived. Dealbreaker!

Grey's creator Shonda Rhimes' new tropical medical drama Off the Map will premiere January 12. Be sure to make a note on your own map of where you were when rush hour hit the jungle.

In what may be the most un-biker move ever, Sons of Anarchy is releasing an iPhone/iPad app that will fill in holes in the motorcycle club's backstory. Couldn't they have printed the information on beer bottles, or tattooed it on the arms and legs of porn stars? ("There's a tat for that!")

Our concerns about Outsourced have been noted, but we can't wait to get a glimpse of The Chin-Chens, a sitcom about a Chinese-Vietnamese family that owns a chain of Chinese restaurants and nail salons. It's currently only going to Colours TV on the Dish Network, but with any luck it will be seen by more and more incredulous people soon

And finally, James Franco is creating a documentary (or something) on the cultural implications of Three's Company. Love that Franco!
