The first Official TV Land Convention was held August 16-17, 2003 at the Burbank Airport Hilton. It was a joint venture between TV Land Network and Creation Entertainment, and all parties worked diligently to produce a unique and wonderful event for fans of classic television. Some of the great luminaries of TV history appeared at the show: here are some scenes from this memorable experience. | Page 1 of 2 Fans were greeted by the vibrant and colorful TV Land Convention stage when they entered the auditorium. A retro living room set made the guests feel at home (if their home was decorated in the 60's, that is). | | | The TV Land Store was chock full of wonderful collectible items, some made especially for the event. | As part of the filming of a documentary about the event that will hopefully air on TV Land later this year, an interview platform was erected in the ballroom foyer. | | | Colorful signs and banners adorned the walls and ceilings of the Hilton Convention Center. | Some of the attendees looked oddly familiar! | | | At the entrance to the building we had the Monkee Mobile parked, much to the delight of their fans. Note the giant Welcome banner on the side of the building. | (from left to right) Karen Levy of TV Land, LLOYD SCHWARZ (producer), legendary creator/producer SHERWOOD SCHWARTZ, DAWN WELLS (Gilligans Island), Rob Pellizzi of TV Land, BARRY WILLIAMS (Brady Bunch) | | | Famous Child Actors of Classic Television presentation (from left to right): BRIAN FORSTER & SUZANNE CROUGH (Partridge Family), LARRY MATTHEWS (Dick Van Dyke), KEN OSMOND, (Leave It To Beaver), LISA LORING (The Addams Family), BUTCH PATRICK (The Munsters), MASON REESE (Classic TV Commercials) | Art of the Second Banana presentation (from left to right): TOM LESTER (Eb - Green Acres), BERNIE KOPPELL (Dr. Bricker - The Love Boat), ROSE MARIE (Sally - The Dick Van Dyke Show) and JACK RILEY (Mr. Carlin - Bob Newhart Show) | | | BERNIE KOPPELL looks on as ROSE MARIE delivers another hilarious anecdote. | NEXT PAGE >> PAST EVENTS INDEX © Creation Entertainment.
