TV Land Awards' logo
A TV Land Award is an American television award that generally commemorates 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. Created 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 .
