I found this info on AOL on the TVLAND about the awards:

VISIONARY AWARD In 1974, mainstream television went to the barrio for the first time with a situation comedy that saw the growing importance and relevance of Latino culture. In Chico and the Man, set in East L.A., an enterprising young Latino mechanic forges an unlikely partnership and eventually, friendship, with an older surly, white garage owner. The show starred Emmy-winning legend Jack Albertson and the charismatic young Freddie Prinze as his cohort and antagonist. TV Land honors Chico and the Man for bringing a multicultural neighborhood to life and into the homes and neighborhoods all over America. It was an important step forward. It was also the pinnacle of the all-too-short career of Freddie Prinze. George Lopez presented this award to Freddie Prinze Jr., who accepted this award on behalf of his father, the late Freddie Prinze.

YES, YES, YES!!!!

Here is the whole article:

Dozens of Stars Saluting Classic TV

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., March 7 /PRNewswire/ -- With the help of over 70 stars from television and film, TV Land bestowed special tribute awards tonight to some of television's most celebrated series and stars during the second annual TV Land Awards: A Celebration of Classic TV.

The TV Land Awards was taped at The Hollywood Palladium and will air on TV Land and Nick at Nite on Wednesday, March 17 from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET/PT).

The full-blown homage to classic television featured unforgettable moments such as when acclaimed comedic actor Ben Stiller presented the cast of The Mary Tyler Moore Show with the "Groundbreaking Award" for one of television's earliest depictions of a single, successful career woman. Academy Award-winner Billy Bob Thornton presented the cast of The Andy Griffith Show with the "Legend Award" honoring the show's timeless and enduring appeal of life in a small North Carolina town. Cast members from Gilligan's Island accepted TV Land's "Pop Culture" Award for the popular sitcom's enduring comedy about castaways on a deserted island. The award was presented by CBS' Survivor All Stars. Academy and Emmy Award-winning actress Liza Minnelli presented Mitch Hurwitz, David Nevins and the cast of Arrested Development with the "Future Classic Award," which is presented to the one new show from the past calendar year which best exemplifies the qualities of an emerging television phenomenon.

Other memorable moments included Golden Globe-winning actress Sharon Stone presenting the "Bossiest Boss Award" to Danny Devito (Taxi); Emmy Award-winning actor Eric McCormack of Will and Grace performing a tribute song to Mary Tyler Moore and an opening medley which featured Cybill Shepherd singing the theme song to Moonlighting; Tony Orlando and Dawn singing "Tie a Yellow Ribbon" and Charlotte Rae and Lisa Whelchel singing the theme song to The Facts of Life. Classic TV stars Bea Arthur, Sally Struthers, Katherine Helmond and Charlotte Rae appeared in a hilarious spoof of Sex and the City; Larry Hagman and Barbara Eden of I Dream of Jeannie were reunited onstage to present actress Patty Duke with the Award for "Favorite Dual-Role" (The Patty Duke Show), and the original "Catwomen" -- Lee Meriwether, Julie Newmar and Eartha Kitt presented Marlo Thomas (That Girl) with the "Favorite Fashion Plate --Female Award." The musical performances also featured the first-ever live performance of "Love American Style", the title song to the hit 1970's comedy series by the legendary singing family, The Cowsills.

Comedian George Lopez paid tribute to the late John Ritter, beloved star of the enduring hit sitcom Three's Company and 8 Simple Rules ... for Dating My Teenage Daughter. Ritter also hosted last year's first TV Land Awards: A Celebration of Classic TV. The salute featured a clip package of Ritter's vast television work, including appearances on The Cosby Show and Wings with actress Amy Yasbeck, whom he later married.

The tribute awards presented included the following:
