I thought they had done TC?? It's kind of late without John Ritter no longer with us. I guess they could get his son to accept for him.

Marc looked like [!@#$%^&*]...lol

He looked like he was high on something...lol

Jane Lynch: "I'm giving an award to Welcome Back Kotter for their 35th anniversary since they were on television in 1974."

Somebody can't do math and didn't do their research.

That housewives montage was pointless...they had like seven or eight shows thrown in there and that's it. Not even a June Cleaver.

Is it just me or has Ellen Travolta morphed into Charlotte Rae?

What do Hall & Oates have to do with television awards? I thought they were going to play at the end the way other bands have done. Half the audience was dancing, the other half had this look on their faces like "who the heck are these guys and when is this over???"

The audience looked like it was made up of people who had never attended the TV Land Awards before and the regulars were all MIA.

I miss when they used to honor more shows, characters and performers with those silly tv dinner awards.

Guess Robert H never cut his hair. Marcia Strassman, otoh, looked fantastic. They forgot to mention the late Debralee Scott.

What was the point of the Cindy Brady lisp "film"? I thought Susan Olsen was going to pop up or something.

Well, back to Antenna TV now.

I can't breathe! :lol::lol::lol:

Whewww, between you and Soapsud's pic, wow. Thank y'all, I needed that laugh. Me and my dad are here, we were eating this show up, Puerto Rican Jew dude from Kotter, oof, now there is a story to be told.

Okay, I thought Ellen Travolta was everyone from Rhea Perlman to Frau Farbissina offa Austin Powers.

Liza still getting invited to stuff is precisely why reality TV is what it is today.

I think that was supposed to be the big spoof that they do every year. They used to spoof the Future Classic TV show by using appropriate classic TV stars. For the Grey's Anatomy spoof, they had people who played doctors and nurses like Diahann Carroll, Chad Everett, Richard Chamberlain, Leonard Nimoy, and I think Bernie Kopell. For the Desperate Housewives one (which I think was the first), they had Marion Ross, Abe Vigoda, and others. For Ugly Betty, they did Ugly Betty White, etc.

I wish they had thrown a mention at Debralee Scott, too, as well as John Sylvester White (maybe they did and I missed it, though) and Vernee Watson. It would have been hilarious and awkward if they'd had the guy who played Barbarino's replacement up there with them!

Ellen Travolta was all right! I love seeing random faces like hers pop up. Her and Marcia Wallace must have the same evil hairdresser, though.

The Facts of Life tribute was surprisingly touching and captured a lot of what is true but not mentioned very often - that the show was derided and it was always fan support and popularity which kept it going (even if the show has not aired anywhere in years), and that the show was created for Charlotte Rae and her strength was a major factor in the show's success. I also thought it was classy of Cloris Leachman to say little, and keep the focus on Charlotte.

I wish the first season girls had been there.

They all looked good, better than they did in the photo I saw of one of their interviews.

I just wish I knew nothing about Lisa Whelchel, as she was always my favorite character.

I had to laugh at Baba Wawa walking out after a piece on speech impediments.

Is Ron Pallilo ill? I actually thought he was dead, based on how they were speaking, so I had to look it up.

Seeing Lawrence Hilton Jacobs makes me wish they'd do a tribute to Alien Nation.

Ellen Travolta being there was kind of random.

Marcia Strassman was always my favorite part of Welcome Back Kotter, and she still looks great!

Overall the show seemed empty to me, but then TV Land doesn't have a lot of classic shows now. But I'll take empty over too much of the smugness and faux-cleverness of some previous years.

The awards show will never be as good as it was in the first years when classic shows abound. The first year was a salute to Dick Van Dyke and they brought out Gloria and Meathead, Laverne and Shirley and so many others to sing classic themes. Now they trot out reality stars. Still, it was great to see Joyce Randolph.

I liked the salute to Family Ties the most. The Kotter reunion made me sad because Epstein has turned into an old, broken down hobbit with a cane. I didn't understand why Hall and Oates were featured, was there a TV show I am forgetting?

    •   It's working fine now.

        Question for the B&B group: I see @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded multiple seasons from Videoland  (in the folders that are to be put away). They are huge folders and difficult to download so I started breaking them down into months but I realized they are by season so for example, Season 4 spans from March 1990 to March 1991. Now I'm wondering where to actually place them, since we have the Full Episodes section divided by year, not seasons. And most of these seasons we already have in full, so these are duplicates. Not sure if it's necessary to keep the older versions. I could just make another new section for Seasons, so the main folders would be "Behind the Scenes and Interviews," "Clips," "Full Episodes," "Full Seasons," "Music CDs," and "photo archive Marquise" but I'm not sure that really makes sense. Also wondering since we have almost every full episode now if "Clips" can be deleted in its entirety, as it's nearly 300GB.
    • CBS moving Murder, She Wrote from Sunday to Thursday was straight up sabotage. Les Moonves knew exactly what he was doing.
    • I sure hope you’re right. The lack of sets is maddening! 
    • I'm hoping that the new studio might have more space, meaning extra sets could be permanently erected. Perhaps the current  set issues are due to limited space available at Television City as it shuts down for the redevelopment. But if more space means spending more $$$ we might be stuck with the current situation no matter where they move.
    • Thanks @P.J. If my math is correct, Jordan Clarke runs were 1983-1987, 1989-1993, 1997-end.
    • I was/am mainlining both the Dream Season and Season 7 of KL together, since that was the year of their big creative swap. That's the most I can take of Dallas consecutively. But I've been very preoccupied with other shows and work IRL and I need to get back to it after a long break from my Knots binge.
    • Wk 1 95/96 MSW moves to Thurs, Cybill takes the Sunday slot. Thurs 8-9pm NBC Friends #3 20.5/33 The Single Guy #6 19.2/30 CBS Murder She Wrote #55 9.3/15 ABC Charlie Grace #74 7.6/12 FOX Living Single # 78 7.2/12 The Crew #80 7.0/11 Sunday 8-9pm NBC Mad about You # 15 14.6/23 Hope & Gloria #35 11.7/18 ABC Lois & Clark # 38 11.4/18 CBS Cybill #49 9.8/15 Almost Perfect #65 8.1/12 FOX Space Above & Beyond (2nd hr of 2hr episode) #51 9.5/15 60 Minutes was #19 so a lot of viewers didn't stay for Cybill. On Sunday, Sept. 24, CBS finished third on the night, and its performance among 18 -49 year olds was worse than it was with the older skewing Murder, She Wrote in the time period last year.  So moving MSW was a foolish move at that point. It was compatible with 60 Minutes and would probably have finished Top 20-25 for the week. They should have left Sunday alone and concentrated on other nights..
    • I’ve been watching Knots and FC rather compulsively for a while now. Currently in fall 1983 with both. I had Dallas in there, too, but I am rather shocked at how stale that show gets after Jock’s death. Meanwhile, I can spend hours in the vineyards and in the cul-de-sac.
    • What will actually change though? Does this mean the sets will be different too? Or how exactly is this gonna look like to the viewers? 
    • I'm not sure Passions is the model to emulate here.
