(CBS News) This Sunday's TV Land Awards will not only celebrate some of TV's best moments, but the event will also find host Kelly Ripa dressing as Wonder Woman and Catwoman.

The 10th annual ceremony, which taped earlier this month in New York, honors the casts of "Laverne & Shirley," "Murphy Brown," "In Living Color," "One Day At a Time" and "Pee-wee's Playhouse."

For some of the actors, it had been years since they've all been in the same place.

The "One Day At a Time" cast was back together to accept the innovator award, given to a series that helped re-define a TV genre. Actor Glenn Scarpelli said it had been 24 years since the cast was all together in one room.

On the red carpet, Faith Ford, who played the perky journalist Corky Sherwood on "Murphy Brown," told CBSNews.com, "It's a lot of fun. I love seeing everyone. I see the LA folks more. I see Candice [Bergen]. We're in the same town together. It's always great."

Ford and Bergen are just a couple of the award recipients. Others include Mackenzie Phillips, Penny Marshall, Marlon Wayans and Valerie Bertinelli.

In the opening sketch, Ripa does a whopping 13 wardrobe changes, dressing as "Glee" character Sue Sylvester and Lucille Ball.

During the show, Ford dances her "Murphy Brown" character, while Jim Carrey gives a heartfelt speech when accepting the groundbreaking award with his fellow "In Living Color" cast members

Presenters and other guests include Mike Myers, Katie Couric, John Legend, Fran Drescher and The B-52s.

The TV Land Awards also features music icon winner Aretha Franklin singing "Respect," "Chain of Fools" and "I Came to Lift Him Up."

The TV Land Awards will be broadcast Sunday at 9 p.m. ET/PT on TV Land.
