The 8th annual TV Land Awards gala is scheduled to be taped April 17 on the Sony Lot in Culver City, Calif. The show is to premiere April 25.

"The entire cast of 'Everybody Loves Raymond' (including Ray Romano, Patricia Heaton, Doris Roberts and Brad Garrett) will reunite for the first time since the death of fellow cast member Peter Boyle to receive the Impact Award at this year's show," TV Land said in a news release. Boyle died in 2006 at the age of 71.

The sitcom ran on CBS for nine seasons and is to join the TV Land lineup Thursday.
