The TV Land Awards: A Celebration of Classic TV premieres on TV Land and simulcast on Nick at Nite on WEDNESDAY, March 12 (9:00-11:00 pm ET/PT. The show has moved from the previously announced date of Sunday, March 9.
TV Land's first ever awards show, hosted by Emmy-award winning actor John Ritter, recognizes the best and brightest stars and shows from television's rich history. This two-hour celebration is presented by Chevy Trucks and in part by Revlon.
LEGEND AWARD
This award is presented to a television series which has stood the test of time and ranks among the most memorable and celebrated shows in TV history. TV Land will honor The Dick Van Dyke Show as this year's recipient.
This legendary sitcom, which ran on CBS from 1961-1966, is often considered one of television's all-time classic comedy series. The show's success can be traced to its combination of first-class comedic script-writing anchored by creator Carl Reiner and a star-studded cast featuring some of the medium's biggest names including Dick Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore, Rose Marie,
Morey Amsterdam and Sheldon Leonard. The show's premise, ironically enough, centered on the life of television comedy writer, Rob Petrie (Van Dyke), and his lovely wife, Laura (Moore) who lived in suburban New Rochelle, New York.
The series garnered 15 Emmy awards during its run on CBS.
