The TV Land Awards Honor Classic And Modern Favorites
The TV Land Awards, hosted by actor and comedian Tim Allen, was sparkling with television starts from some of the best loved shows of all time. Honorees and presenters included stars that spanned generations, from Betty White down to stars of current hit series, Glee. Awards given out included Future Classic and Fan Favorite.
The beloved program The Love Boat was recognized as this year’s TV Land Fan Favorite. Starring Gavin MacLeod and Bernie Kopell, the show revolved around the lives of those aboard The Pacific Princess, a lavish cruise ship that seemed to have more challenges in a week than most ships see in a year. While it was on the air, The Love Boat was nominated for two Emmys and four Golden Globes.
Younger television enthusiasts were surely thrilled to see the new favorite Glee honored with the Future Classic Award. Glee, which focuses on a high school Glee club on a mission to take a national title, was the biggest breakout television hit of 2009. TV Land surely honored it for its quirky one-liners and show stopping musical numbers, which make it unlike any other show on television.
The prominent Legend Award for this year went to two men who are widely regarded as kings of classic comedy, Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner. Reiner earned his place as a television legend by writing The Dick Van Dyke Show, and Mel Brooks is famous for writing numerous comedies, including Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, and the hit Broadway musical The Producers.
The Pop Culture award, given to the show with the greatest impact on popular culture, went to the popular 1970’s show Charlie’s Angels. In addition to being a much loved television series, Charlie’s Angels inspired two blockbusters starring Lucy Liu and Drew Barrymore. The show’s star, Farrah Fawcett, passed away in 2009 but her co-stars, Cheryl Ladd and Jaclyn Smith, accepted the award.
The cast of the popular comedy Everybody Loves Raymond was honored with the TV Land Impact Award, with stars Brad Garrett and Ray Romano on hand to accept. They were lucky enough to be presented with their award by TV legend Bob Newhart. During its nine year run, the show was nominated for over one hundred awards and won forty-nine of them.
The show that was honored for its 30th anniversary at the ceremony this year was the 1980’s sitcom Bosom Buddies. Jay Leno was there to present the award to the show, which ran on ABC from 1980 to 1982 and in reruns on NBC during the summer of 1984. Accepting the award was the show’s decided breakout star, Academy Award winner Tom Hanks. The many celebrities present made the night a success; I can only assume the same will be true for Idol Gives Back 2010.
The TV Land Awards was a fun and varied event, honoring some of television’s brightest stars, past and present. A wide variety of stars turned out for the ceremony, from classic comedians to contemporary Oscar winners. The show was a great way to re-live memories from the amazing shows that came into our lives through our televisions for so many years. Video of this event and others, like Idol Gives Back 2010, can be seen at celebrityfootage.com.
