The hardest part about having to leave the summer 2011 TCA press tour early was missing Saturday’s 27th Annual TCA Awards, especially the shout out to The Dick Van Dyke Show. The ’60s TV classic was honoured with the critics’ Heritage Award this year and ever-spry creator/executive producer Carl Reiner was on hand to accept it. Joining Reiner at the ceremony in Beverly Hills were Rose Marie (Sally) and even a bald-headed Larry Matthews; Mathews played Rob and Laura Petrie’s adorable tyke Ritchie on the series.
The TCA Awards also saluted Friday Night Lights, Game of Thrones and Mad Men‘s Jon Hamm; a complete list of winners can be found here. By all reports, Parks & Recreation‘s Nick Offerman did a fine job as host.
