The 75th Emmy Awards will be studded with cast reunions and recreations of classic moments from a dozen beloved shows throughout television history.
“All in the Family," “Grey's Anatomy," “Game of Thrones,” “Martin” and many more series will get the special treatment at Monday night's ceremony at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, with many getting renditions of their sets, including the bar from “Cheers.”
The first such scene will come within the 10 minutes of host Anthony Anderson's Emmys opening, and the moments will be spread throughout the Fox telecast.
With the tribute segments the show's producers are seeking to show decades of television in its full variety of styles, formats and periods.
From the Emmys' earliest days in the 1950s will come “I Love Lucy”; from the 1960s, “The Carol Burnett Show,” whose title star recently won her seventh Emmy at age 90; from the 1970s, “All in the Family,” whose legendary creator, TV legend Norman Lear, died last month at 101.
“Cheers” will represent the '80s. “Ally McBeal” and “Martin” will represent different sides of the ’90s. The television-game-changing “Sopranos” will show up from the early 2000s.
Shows still on the air — “Grey’s Anatomy” and “American Horror Story” — will also be represented.
