TV Land Awards
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The TV Land Awards are American television awards that generally commemorate shows now off the air, rather than in current production as with awards such as the Emmys. It is presented in a manner that spoofs other entertainment award ceremonies. Founded in 2003 by Executive Producer Michael Levitt, the awards are hosted and broadcast by the TV Land network.
Awards are given in various categories (which change from year to year) with input from visitors to TV Land's website who can vote there for their favorite choices. Awards can and have been given to both individual actors/actresses and to entire television series.
