TV Land Awards...Dissapointing... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I don't know about anyone else, but I was very dissapointed and surprised that they payed so little attention to I Love Lucy. It won the award for best food fight? Are they kidding! I Love Lucy is much to good to just get an award for best food fight. When they announced that I Love Lucy won the award, It was really really sad that no one was there to accept the award. It was like noone cared. It was very embarassing. I Love Lucy deserved much more attention than it got. Mybe its me, but I found it to be very bothersome...

What do you guys think?

Totally agree, maybe next year. Besides there are too many awards shows on anyway, enough already. It was nice to see some of those people we grew up with though. And Lucy fought to get the Van Dyke show kept on the air when they wanted to cancel it at the beginning and she considered it one of her all time top ten shows.

I didn't think it was even necessary for them to announce an award, if none of the cast members were going to be there to except the award, and I feel that TV Land knew that, atleast I Love Lucy recieved credit and for even mentioning a award. I think it would have been best to donate the award to the museum of television and radio, or an organization.

Well, i can see where the kids wouldn't bother with an award like that, God, even Lucy herself didn't bother when she was given a life achievement award along with Midler and Tomlin and a couple of others in '87, she knew the Comedy awards probably wouldn't last and she was right, it was a tacky show, so she didn't even go, and this one was very similar, they're really scraping the bottom of the barrel with these awards shows nowadays, ALTHOUGH, IT WAS NICE SEING SOME OF THE PEOPLE THERE AND PARTS OF THE SHOW WERE OK, as much as i was not happy with the Lucy slight and HATED seing people i LOVED like Bea Arthur and Rose Marie and Don Adams looking like death warmed over, we still grew up with the se people and LOVE them still, kinda gives you an idea why Lucy stayed in the house at the end, they don't want to dissillusion their fans.

It would have been nice if her kids came to accept the award, or writers!

Yeah, I felt the same way. It was cool seeing all these people all over again, but it broke my heart to see James Doohan at the awards. James was Scotty on the original Star Trek show. He just looked rough. He must really love the fans. He showed up in his condition.

Is he sick or something, Jenny?

I think it's mainly just old age. I think he has heart problems too.

Personally.......... The Lucy Show is the best comedy Show of all time. So I would've given them this award. Plain & Simple...........

I would've definitely started the show off with this.................

There are so many Black/White shows that were omitted.

Barnabas1 · 03-15-2003, 11:01 AM

I agree, Pitooney. TLS needs more recognition than it gets.

I personally thought the category of Best Food fight was foolish. A classy show (I love Lucy) having that silly category. I was saddened that Best sidekick, I think that was the title award didn't win with Ethel Mertz. But I tend to think the winners had to be alive and in the audence. I'm glad Don Knotts received it. He said lovely things about Andy. Getting back to the food fight award I expected maybe one of the writers accepting or even better would be one of the little rickys all grown up coming on stage. I tend to think some of the classy stars thought the show wasn't too great to appear on. For tvlands first award show, I'll give it a C.

I agree about the best sidekick thing. I wanted Vivian Vance to win so bad and thought she really deserved it, but I also thought that she didn't win because she isn't with us anymore. I hope that's not true but that's what it seemed like to me.

I have just seen the TV Land Awards Show like five minutes ago and I am disturbed that Lucy and her cast(s) hardly got any recognition. I feel bad because it seemed like people really did not care for the many achievements Lucille made within her life as well as her cast members. And when the Diff'rent Strokes cast presented the award and said like "no one is here to accept it" . . . that just got me really disturbed and upset. I was about in tears. They should have had one of Lucy's writers or children to accept the award for her. Then there was the sidekick award. I honestly felt Vivian Vance was the most-deserving actor to get the award but if it couldn't have been her, then I am glad it was Don who got it.
But the thing that got me disturbed the most was that Lucille's second weekly series, The Lucy Show, was not even mentioned in TV Land's Award show. That to me is a disgrace to Lucille AND Gale. Both actors worked very hard on making each episode come out great and to witness later on that no credit is being given to neither one of them (especially Gale) is automatic slap-in-the-face. I feel very bad for Gale because from what I am aware of he hasn't won an award yet and it comes acrossed like people really don't care about him or the work he has done in television and with Lucy. He's one of the most underrated actors of television, if not the underrated one.

Well, I would agree but it hardly gets recognition in the first place. But here's what I say: The Lucy Show deserves the recogniton.
