TV Land Boldly Goes Where No Network Has Gone Before ...

Network to Debut Living in TV Land: William Shatner on Wednesday, March 22 Immediately Following The 4th Annual TV Land Awards

PASADENA, Calif., Jan. 11 -- Boldly going where no network has gone before, TV Land will begin airing new installments of Living in TV Land on Wednesday, March 22 with Living in TV Land: William Shatner. This 60- minute sneak peek at the series offers an intimate look at Emmy Award-winner and pop culture icon William Shatner as he walks viewers through television's first musical-reality hybrid show combining musical performances with segments exploring the reality of his every day life.

Living in TV Land began as a special in August 2004 with Living in TV Land: Dick Van Patten, a tongue-in-cheek look at a day in the life of the Eight is Enough star. This season, the series takes a look at the daily ins and outs of Barry Williams (The Brady Bunch); Adam West (Batman); Davey Jones (The Monkees); Sherman Hemsley (The Jeffersons) and Fred Willard (Fernwood 2Nite, "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy."). The series will begin airing as half-hour installments in its regularly scheduled timeslot of 10 p.m. ET/PT beginning Wednesday, March 29.

Living in TV Land is executive produced by Windmill Entertainment's Craig J. Nevius, George Moll, Bob Illes and Gary Shimokawa (Two Boys From Troy Productions).

"We are thrilled to be able to bring our viewers this intimate look at William Shatner," states Sal Maniaci, Senior Vice President, Development and Original Production, TV Land and Nick at Nite. "This show not only provides a candidly honest look at the actor and icon who has personified television heroes for the last forty years, but we also get to see the side of him that is so passionate about music."

Backed by rock & roll piano man and singer Ben Folds, William Shatner takes the stage in front of a live audience to perform comedic biographical songs from his recent album entitled Has Been. The spoken-word songs provide musical bridges which take viewers into the reality of his everyday life. Cameras follow Shatner through his various life events including the Emmy Awards where he won for best supporting actor, Las Vegas for a Star Trek convention, the set of Boston Legal, a Hollywood horse show for a riding competition and even to a maternity ward where he becomes a grandfather. In addition to appearances by Candice Bergen, Leonard Nimoy, Patrick Stewart and Kate Mulgrew, Living in TV Land: William Shatner boasts performances with rocker Joe Jackson and country superstar Brad Paisley.
