The network never provided much of a reason, but the "10th Annual TV Land Awards," broadcast in 2012, was the final edition.

The network's website, TVLand.com, still has an entry for the TV Land Awards, but it hasn't been updated since the 2012 broadcast.

The ceremony was largely an exercise in nostalgia, with awards being given mostly to shows that had long since ceased being made ("Laverne and Shirley" and "Murphy Brown" were among the winners in 2012). Of course that makes sense, since long-canceled TV shows were TV Land's bread-and-butter at the time.

Not so much anymore, though, which may explain the decision to end the awards. Just weeks after the most recent edition was broadcast, in April 2012, the network underwent a few transformations, including a big push towards original (rather than classic) programming.

The network already had a hit with "Hot In Cleveland" at that point, but wanted more. It launched a second night of original programming in June, which included the new "Hot in Cleveland" spinoff "The Soul Man."

It also unveiled a new logo and slogan ("Laugh more") at the same time.

"It became clear that the overall look and feel of the channel needed to sync up better with our programming lineup," said network president Larry W. Jones.

In light of this, the awards show could have seemed out of "sync" with the new TV Land.

That's unfortunate, since the TV Land Awards broadcast did frequently get good buzz for the network, particularly for its tradition of reuniting the casts of classic shows.

Stars of shows such as "The Golden Girls," "Home Improvement" and "Magnum P.I." were reunited on screen, some for the first time since their shows ended.

The show scored a big coup for its eighth edition in 2010 when it brought Peter Scolari back together with his former "Bosom Buddies" co-star Tom Hanks, who's had a fair bit of screen success since.
