TV Land, where viewers can watch classic television shows from TV's early years, is joining the annual awards frenzy with its inaugural awards show, "The TV Land Awards: A Celebration of Classic TV," airing this week. Of course, no awards show honoring classic television would be complete without honoring Star Trek, and TV Land agrees, bestowing its first Pop Culture award to the Original Series.

Taped previously at the Hollywood Palladium and airing on TV Land and Nick at Nite this Wednesday, March 12 (9:00-11:30 p.m. ET/PT), the awards show is hosted by John Ritter, star of ABC's 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter (and Nick at Nite staple Three's Company). The show will be re-broadcast Saturday, March 15 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT; Sunday, March 16 at 5:00 p.m.; Monday, March 17 at 11:00 p.m.; and several more times on TV Land. Consult your local listings.

Star Trek's Pop Culture Award was presented by Mira Sorvino to legendary Original Series cast members William Shatner ("James T. Kirk"), Leonard Nimoy ("Spock"), Nichelle Nichols ("Uhura"), and James Doohan ("Montgomery Scott").
