The TV Lands Awards hosted by Kelly Ripa are coming on April 29th and this year they are honoring two huge ’70s sitcom. Hot in Cleveland star Valerie Bertinelli will be reunited with , Bonnie Franklin, Mackenzie Phillips, Glenn Scarpelli and Pat Harrington to accept the Innovator Award. The show was the first one to feature a divorced woman raising her two kids, something that was taboo in the day. Also being honored is Laverne & Shirley and showing up to receive the Fan Favorite Award will be Penny Marshall, Cindy Williams, Michael McKean and David L. Lander. There is one more honor that was announced today and that is the Pop Culture Award that will go to Pee Wee Herman. Personally I think he is more in Pop Culture for something that is not related to Pee Wee’s Playhouse, but still he was a staple in many of our lives as we grew up for the show.
Now when it comes to the honors, I am so excited to see what Glenn Scarpelli looks like because I had such a huge crush on him when I was growing up.
