It was a wonderful evening of nostalgia at Sunday night's TV Land Awards, as shows like Welcome Back Kotter, The Cosby Show, Family Ties and The Facts Of Life were honored.
Perhaps the night's most memorable moment unwittingly belonged to 84-year-old Charlotte Rae, The Facts Of Life star who played Mrs. Garrett on the 80s sitcom.
In a speech accepting the show's honors, Rae said, "I tell you, I'm so proud of my girls. They all turned out to be straight! Straight!" -- ironic, as one of the cast members, Geri Jewell, is openly-gay.
