TV Land Award

TV Land Awards' logo with the network's previous logo

The TV Land Awards is an American television awards ceremony that generally commemorates shows now off the air, rather than in current production as with awards such as the Emmys. Created by Executive Producer Michael Levitt, the awards were hosted and broadcast by the TV Land network from 2003-2012 and then returned to the air in 2015. Awards are given in various categories (which changes slightly from year to year) and originally included awards voted on by visitors to TV Land's website. Awards are given to both individual actors/actresses and to entire television series. The 10th Annual TV Land Awards aired on April 29, 2012.[1] The TV Land Award statuettes are made by New York firm, Society Awards.

In March 2013, it was announced that there would be no TV Land Awards for 2013.[2] A network spokesman said, "We love the TV Land Awards and think there is great value in the franchise, but we will not be producing the show this spring.” The show did not reappear in the spring of 2014, either, but returned on April 18, 2015.
