The star eases back into TV.

ET has confirmed that Valerie Bertinelli has inked a deal to star in the pilot of a planned TBS sitcom, says Variety.

She'll play a single mother of two who struggles to juggle the demands of parenthood and a lumber business in the untitled program from writer/executive producer Dave Caplan. The former "One Day at a Time" star will also be credited as a producer on the pilot.

"Valerie Bertinelli became a popular fixture on television playing one of two children being raised by a single working mother," said Michael Wright, senior vice president in charge of the Content Creation Group for TBS, TNT and Turner Classic Movies. "Now she's exploring that world from the opposite angle, playing a single working mother raising two children. Between Valerie's comic skills and Dave Caplan's highly relatable humor, we're very excited to watch this pilot take shape."

Bertinelli recently appeared on the Lifetime movie "True Confessions of a Hollywood Starlet" and has a talk show in the works for 2009.
