ORIGINAL PROGRAMMING

TV Land's Top Ten (special)

Wednesday, May 31 at 10 p.m. ET/PT

TV Land's Top Ten series celebrates television for the passionate TV
viewer. By culling the best moments from hit TV shows and commentary
from stars, experts and those in the know, each special counts down a
different Top Ten. Episodes to air throughout the summer include
Dynamic Duos, TV Spin-offs, TV Weddings, Brady Bunch episodes, Musical
Moments and TV Cops.

* May 31: Dynamic Duos -- Who says TV doesn't teach good values?
Teamwork is the bedrock of these relationships as Batman and Robin,
Laverne and Shirley and Lucy and Ethel show viewers the importance of
bonding. Following this installment, the network will air The Andy
Griffith Show and I Love Lucy, in which Andy and Barney and Lucy and
Ethel prove they are there for each other through thick and thin.

* June 7: TV Spin-offs -- Sometimes a character is so good they need
their own show. This episode celebrates the greatest spin-off series'
of all time. After the premiere of this original special, the network
will air some of the most popular spin-offs such as Good Times, The
Andy Griffith Show, Green Acres, Benson and What's Happening Now.

* June 14: TV Weddings -- There's no better place to get married than
on TV. And there's nothing easier to get hooked on than a good wedding
story. This episode crashes the best TV Weddings of all time. Happy
couples include Joe and Rhoda, Daphne and Niles and Luke and Laura.
Additionally, the network will celebrate "TV Land Weddings Week" from
Monday, June 12-Friday, June 16, 8 p.m.-10 p.m. ET/PT, so take a walk
down the aisle as the network celebrates the best of TV weddings.
Marking the occasion will be our very own TV Land couples celebrating
their unions -- Joanie and Chachi, Thelma and Keith and Kelly and
Woody.

* July 22: Brady Bunch Episodes -- You grew up with them and you know
the episodes almost by heart. But which episodes made our Top Ten
list? The road trips to Hawaii and the Grand Canyon? The special
appearances by Davy Jones and Joe Namath? From getting caught smoking
to pork chops and apple sauce and everything in between, there's so
much to choose from! This special premieres during "The Brady Bunch
Weekend Event", a 48-hour marathon taking place July 22-July 23, from
6 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET/PT. The marathon also includes an encore
presentation of the original special, Still Brady ... After All These
Years.

* August 16: Musical Moments -- Some of the greatest musical moments
of all time have been captured on TV. This episode highlights the best
of the best from the Beatles and Elvis to Madonna and Michael.

* August 23: TV Cops -- Whether cracking open a case or cracking you
up, the TV Cop is one of the most beloved TV characters. In this
countdown, we list our favorite men and women in blue. Squad members
include Andy Taylor, Lennie Briscoe, Sgt. Suzanne "Pepper" Anderson,
Joe Friday and that strange man in the rumpled rain coat.

First Time (series)

Wednesday, June 28 at 10 p.m. ET/PT

In this six-part series, TV Land will revisit the first major career
milestones of some of America's most celebrated performers. Bolstered
by original interviews with each star profiled, every 30-minute
episode of My First Time will feature some of the biggest talents in
Hollywood and trace their first "big break." Additionally, each show
will contain footage of that first scene that put them in the public
eye. In some cases, these will be performances that the stars
themselves would probably rather forget.
