IMHO "The 7th Annual TV Land Awards": Was that real, or was I Pufnstuff?

The Seventh Annual TV Land Awards aired last night on ... well, TV Land, and it was a gay couch potato's dream come true. It had a thirtieth anniversary tribute to the classic nighttime soap Knots Landing (and a warmly received marriage equality shout-out by the show's creator David Jacobs), a typically adept hosting job by Neil Patrick Harris (whose Twilight Zone-ish opening musical number can be seen here), and a tribute to Sid & Marty Krofft that ranks as the greatest ten minutes of TV since Andra's freak-out on Boy Meets Boy.

Unfortunately, it also featured some "meh" moments. There were tributes to a couple of shows I never watched (Home Improvement, Magnum P.I.) and the inexplicable tribute to Two and a Half Men as a "Future Classic".

But all in all it was a great night, and we've got some of the highlights to scorch your senses ...

Fabulous Married With Children stars Christina Applegate, Katey Sagal. *Is the cinematographer from RuPaul's Drag Race filming Katey?

Married With Children star Ted McGinley receives an award, causing sharks all over the world to jump in spastic unison. *My undying love to whomever gets that reference.

Teri Hatcher. Oh Dear.

Donna Mills, Michelle Phillips, and Michele Lee with Knots Landing creator David Jacobs. *Mr. Jacobs got a huge round of applause when he quipped "If I did it again now the only difference is I would have a new married couple on the left side named Jeff & Peter and a new married couple on the right named Molly & Maria".

And now we come to the fever dream portion of the program. The absolute highlight of the show was the ten-minute tribute to 70's gods Sid & Marty Krofft.

I found myself overcome with waves of nostalgia (which at first I thought were the after-effects of the vending machine burrito I ate) as various Krofft shows were recreated on stage.

Watching Cyndi Lauper and Barry Williams perform the themes to Electra-Woman & Dynagirl and Lidsville brought me back to those Saturday mornings when I would sit in front of the TV in my Underoos and spend hours with the Krofft brothers. Here's Cyndi backstage with Sid & Marty.

As wonderful as this tribute was, I was a little bummed that they didn't include my favorite Krofft show, Bigfoot & Wild Boy, but you can't have everything.

If you want to experience this tribute for yourself, you can see it in its entirety here, but be prepared to be transported back to a more innocent time.

So who else watched the TV Land Awards this year, and what did you think? And who do you think should be honored next year? I'm pulling for tributes to Isis and Charlotte Rae.
