2012 TV Land Awards To Be Hosted By Kelly Ripa; Still Standing Returns To ABC Family
The 2012 TV Land Awards, honoring classic television, film and music icons, will return to New York City and be hosted by Kelly Ripa (LIVE! With Kelly). Ripa previously hosted the show in 2007, so this marks the first time a host has returned. Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, the awards show will honor powerhouse songstress Aretha Franklin with the Music Icon Award and will be held at the Lexington Avenue Armory at Gramercy Park on Saturday, April 14. The 2012 TV Land Awards will air on Sunday, April 29 at 9:00pm ET/PT. More honorees will be announced in coming weeks, so stay with us!
The successful TV Land Awards has scored a decade of success including the record-breaking numbers from the 2011 TV Land Awards, which attracted over 2 million viewers for its premiere telecast. The star-studded special, which was held last year in New York City for the very first time, was the highest rated TV Land Awards show since 2004 across all key demos and posted double-digit gains in rating and delivery over preceding shows. The TV Land Awards pays tribute to classic and contemporary luminaries of television, music and movies. The 90-minute telecast will feature exhilarating musical performances and will reunite some of the most iconic celebrity TV casts.
Beginning Monday, March 12, 2012, Still Standing will return to ABC Family! The sitcom will return to the weekday line-up and air in its old 12 noon and 12:30pm timeslot replacing America's Funniest Home Videos. The sitcom hasn't aired since late January, when it was pulled, as we previously mentioned. No other schedule changes will be made, so you will see Still Standing in between Gilmore Girls (11am) and 8 Simple Rules (1pm).
The series has been airing on ABC Family since Fall 2010. Still Standing is about a blue-collar Chicago couple and former high school sweethearts Judy (Jami Gertz) and Bill Miller (Mark Addy) raising a family and it is a huge challenge--especially with clashing parenting philosophies. Judy takes a more serious stance, while Bill holds a more relaxed approach. See what happens when both styles collide!
