Honoring its own

TV Land has lined up an array of television, film and musical icons for the sixth annual TV Land Awards. The network announced Monday that Steve Carell, Justin Timberlake, Robin Williams, Dick Van Dyke, Penny Marshall, Cindy Williams, Henry Winkler, Kathy Griffin, Jack Klugman, the cast of The Office and more are set to appear.

The show will tape on Sunday and will premiere on TV Land on June 15.

This year, and for the first time, the show also will honor favorites in movies.

Ayyyyyyyyy!

Downtown Milwaukee soon will have a permanent reminder of the Happy Days television show (1974-84): a bronze statue of Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli, played by Henry Winkler.

It will be dedicated Aug. 19 along the Milwaukee River, VISIT Milwaukee announced last week.

Most of the show's stars are expected to attend the ceremony, including Winkler, Marion Ross, Tom Bosley and the show's creator, Garry Marshall. Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams, stars of spinoff show Laverne & Shirley, also are expected to attend.

Chatter

"We don't want to get into that in terms of the war and that kind of thing, but of course it's so much in our face right now . . . it would be impossible to avoid."

Catherine Bell, who plays military wife and mom Denise Sherwood on Lifetime's Army Wives, talking about how the show tries to stay nonpolitical. Its second season starts Sunday.

Today's highlight

And you thought today's TV housewives were desperate: Tonight, time shifts back to the 1970s and all that free love when Swingtown premieres at 9 p.m. on CBS 4.
