KFO was included as part of this stamp
set, with events at the Leonard
H. Goldenson Theater in North Hollywood, attended by Carl Reiner, Jayne
Meadows, and June
Lockhart, and at the Museum of
Broadcast Communications in Chicago. Here's the press release.
For more than half a
century, Americans have turned to television for entertainment and
information. To those watching in its early days, TV offered the
additional excitement of the new. Whether laughing at the first
situation comedies, tingling at crime dramas, or identifying with
ordinary people who had their day in the spotlight on game shows,
audiences were charmed by the novelty of the young medium. Today,
memories from television’s “childhood” — often especially vivid — are a
pure pleasure.
The
Early TV Memories commemorated in the 20 stamp set include:
Adventures
of Ozzie & Harriet; Alfred Hitchcock Presents; Dinah Shore Show;
Dragnet; Ed Sullivan Show; George Burns & Gracie Allen Show;
