Classic Television Programs Celebrated At The Tv Land Awards
The cast of the classic television series The Love Boat was honored this year as the TV Land pick for Fan Favorite. The Love Boat, which starred Gavin MacLeod and Bernie Kopell, centered on a cruise ship called Pacific Princess and the lives of the people on board. During its run, the show was nominated for several awards, including two Emmy Awards 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 esteemed Legend Award was received this year by men who have both changed the face of comedy, Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner. Reiner became a television classic as a writer on The Dick Van Dyke Show, while Brooks has several classic comedies under his belt, like Spaceballs, Young Frankenstein and the Broadway hit, The Producers. This marks the first year that there have been two recipients of the Legend Award. The show that was awarded for having the biggest influence on Pop Culture was the 1970's hit Charlie's Angels. Charlie's Angels was not only a classic TV show, but it spun off into two hit films starring Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz. Co-stars Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd accepted the award without their late costar, Farrah Fawcett. The hit Everybody Loves Raymond received TV Land's Impact Award, and stars Ray Romano and Brad Garrett were standing by to accept. As an additional honor, they were given their award by the great Bob Newhart. During the nine years that Everybody Loves Raymond aired, it was nominated for an impressive 129 awards, winning forty-nine. The 30th anniversary of the short-lived 1980's program Bosom Buddies was celebrated during the TV Land Awards ceremony. Jay Leno presented the prize to the actors from the show, which aired between 1980 and 1982 on ABC and on NBC in reruns during 1984. None other than the show's most distinguished star, Tom Hanks, received the award. This show was exciting and nostalgic, similar to how one would expect Idol Gives Back 2010 to turn out.
