SAG reaches out to TV Land to extend love for Betty White in its 17th annual SAG Award nominations

BettywhiteIf you were to think of the best comedies on TV in 2010, where would Hot in Cleveland rank on your list? Top 10? Wait. You aren't aware that Hot in Cleveland is an actual TV show? It's broadcasting on TV Land, for crying out loud. A land devoted to TV! It earned 4 million viewers. It's the Burn Notice of sitcoms! It's the Baby Boomers' Golden Girls, with a Golden Girl! Don't you know this is the year we all pay tribute to Betty White? Still. Quick can you name another cast member from Hot in Cleveland? Can you tell me what day and time it's on TV Land?

At any rate, no matter what you thought of the show, the Screen Actors Guild clearly loved it, as they recognized the cast — and Betty White separately — with nominations for the 17th annual SAG Awards, which will be broadcast on Jan. 30, 2011, on TBS and TNT.

No Community. No Parks and Recreation. No Louie. No The League. No Childrens' Hospital. No Bored to Death. No Eastbound and Down. They all came up short this year.

These shows, however, did earn SAG honors this year:
