Anyone watch it last night? Loved the beginning montage of all the theme songs.

How was the Joan Rivers tribute?

This is still on?

TVLand will repeat the awards on Tuesday at 11:30 am central/12:30pm eastern.

I did! I mainly watched for The Wonder Years tribute. I wish Dan Lauria (Jack) and Jason Hervey (Wayne) could've been there, though!

Carl Reiner presenting the award to Freaks and Geeks was great, too. And the James Franco hater in me was happy to see he didn't get to give an acceptance speech .

It is, but I think they skipped last year, not sure why.

I never watched a full telecast until this year, but I will say the ceremonies of years past looked a lot more fun. At this point they've probably honored so many shows--and so many of the older stars have passed on--that some of the fun has been lost.

I wish Melissa had been there to speak for Joan's tribute.

The best TV Land Awards ceremony was the first, back in 2003. Perfect host, perfect mix of honorees, and so many classic TV greats in one room. They made a wise decision later to discontinue the fan-voted awards, but the ceremony as a whole declined as the network declined. They were finding their niche as a channel that not only aired classic TV but also honored it and studied it via specials and documentaries, but that all started to vanish when they became gung ho, first, over "boomer" entertainment and then random desperate bullsh!t.

The Future Classic Award has always been interesting, but so many of the shows honored for that have already been largely ignored.

I'm so tired of classic TV theme medleys at awards shows.

I love how TV Land likes to pretend they're still a classic tv network lol.

Yeah, I miss the TV Land of the late 90's that showed Retromercials and shows like My Three Sons and Family Affair. Of course, I also miss 90's Nickelodeon, the Disney Channel right before it ceased to be a premium channel and still showed stuff like the Baby Sitters Club, TBS back when Andy Griffith was still their flagship show, and WGN when they still showed Bozo, so maybe I'm just a Disco Dan of sorts, lol.

Ew they gave an award to Freaks & Greeks?

So tired of that trash Apatow getting his colon cleaned for years of lazy stereotypes and passive-aggressive bigotry.

I didn't know Friends was classic tv when it was in the beginning montage.

I love it just because of what great shows we once had. TV now is full of crappy shows. And Good Times, The Jeffersons and the Golden Girls got the loudest applause during the theme medley montage.

I think the bulk of their schedule is still older shows, but they're just so lazy with it and show no interest mixing things up anymore. I've watched it a lot more in recent months than I was 5-10 years ago.

I've always wanted to see it. I know a lot of people think it was criminally underrated and short-lived, so maybe this was just a happy accident for Apatow? (Of course, I watch Girls, too--it may piss me off sometimes, but I can't help but watch it).

Freaks & Geeks is amazing boo, you should watch it on Netflix

I also love Girls

Freaks & Geeks was good and the making of stars to come.

Watched this this afternoon on the DVR. Great show...It's nice to see how much these performers respect the fans and appreciate them.

I loved Ally McBeal, Freaks and Geeks, and Parenthood. Didn't need the JH performance, and Betty White is, was , and always will be the Queen of TV. Kudos to the Joan Rivers tribute, more than the Oscars bothered.

All in all, an hour and ten minutes(thank you FF), well spent!
