The 2010 TV Land Awards, hosted by Tim Allen, was a star studded event featuring some of television’s most beloved actors and actresses. Favorite stars from across generations were in attendance, from Betty White to the cast of the recent hit series Glee. Popular television shows were honored in a variety of categories, such as the Fan Favorite Award and the Future Classic Award.

The award for TV Land 2010 Fan Favorite went to the players from the classic show The Love Boat. Bernie Kopell and Gavin MacLeod starred in this comedy about the passengers and crew aboard a cruise ship known as The Pacific Princess. Prior to this award, The Love Boat had two Emmy nominations and four Golden Globe nominations to its name.

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 award for the show that has made a huge impact on Pop Culture was given to the cast of the 1970’s classic Charlie’s Angels. Not only was Charlie’s Angels a hugely successful television show, but it spawned two blockbuster films starring Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore. The award was accepted by Cheryl Ladd and Jaclyn Smith, sadly without their recently deceased co-star, Farrah Fawcett.

The popular sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond received the TV Land Impact Award, and the honor was accepted by stars Brad Garrett and Ray Romano. To add extra excitement to the honor, the cast was given the award by television icon Bob Newhart. Over the course of its nine year run, the show received an unbelievable 129 award nominations, rounding up forty-nine wins.

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 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.
