While not the first TV-based stamp issued by the US Postal Service, this one has a lot going for it, in that these classic TV shows were the forerunner of everything that followed them (no wonder the imitators pale by comparison!). My admiration for this stamp sheet has nothing to do with the fact that my avatar is based on one of the stamps (can you guess which one?, he asked sardonically!).
