James C. Miller III, a Postal Service board member said, "All of the classic television shows represented on these stamps represent the collective memory of a generation well deserving of entertainment. It was a generation that survived the Great Depression and fought World War II. They were pioneers -- creative geniuses -- who brought television shows of the 1950s into our homes, breaking new ground to provide entertainment for everyone."
