Reunions and recreations of classic moments from a dozen beloved shows throughout television history will be a feature of the 75th Emmy Awards.
The Emmy Awards show's Executive Producer Jesse Collins said: "It was really about how can we celebrate 75 years of television differently?"
All In The Family, Grey's Anatomy and Game Of Thrones will get special treatment at the ceremony at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles on Monday.
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 the age of 90; and from the 1970s, All In The Family, whose creator Norman Lear died last month aged 101.
Cheers will represent the 1980s, while Ally McBeal and Martin will represent different sides of the 1990s.
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.
Parts featuring Saturday Night Live and The Arsenio Hall Show will show up for variety and talk.
"We just tried to pick ones that we felt like we could successfully pay tribute to," Collins said.
"We have a pretty vast array of comedies and procedural dramas and talk shows, just trying to touch all the different areas."
The shows come from all four US networks and HBO, a perennial Emmys juggernaut that this year has all three of the top nominated shows – Succession, The Last Of Us and The White Lotus – and was home to Game Of Thrones, which is also among the classic shows getting honoured.
"We have a great Game Of Thrones moment," Collins said.
Producers did not give specifics on who will be appearing and said not to expect everyone from every show.
Reunions are not possible for all of them, of course.
I Love Lucy, whose key cast members have all been dead for decades, will get a recreation by actors playing Lucy and Ethel.
Other shows have few left to reunite.
All In The Family only has two surviving major cast members, Rob Reiner and Sally Struthers.
The same is true of The Carol Burnett Show, with only Burnett and Vicki Lawrence still alive.
Producers also said not to expect a reunion of the cast of Friends, though the show will include a tribute to Matthew Perry, who died in October.
"People are happy to be back and happy to celebrate," Harmon said.
"It is a monumental year. Everybody was really excited to come be a part of this."
