TV Land Awards: The best, the worst

Worst surprise: George Clooney didn’t show up unannounced to introduce the ladies from The Facts of Life, nor did he tape a message. They, instead, got the trio from TV Land’s Hot in Cleveland, because both shows are about women living together. Lame! That intro should have been way more fun. It fell as flat as Charlotte Rae (aka Mrs. Garrett) trying to compliment her castmates for growing up well by saying, “I’m so proud of my girls. They all turned out to be straight! Straight!” (Family Ties‘ openly gay Meredith Baxter had fun with that during her speech: “We didn’t all come out as straight as apparently The Facts of Life cast, but we’re doing pretty well,” she said. The cameraman cut to Facts of Life‘s openly gay Jewell.)
