Own A Piece Of Television History!
He spent 32 years collecting sets, props, and costumes from the TV shows he grew up watching. Now, James Comisar is putting all 1,000 pieces on the auction block! The Comisar Collection includes all kinds of things from your favorite throwback shows, including the sets of “Cheers,” “All in the Family,” and “The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson!”
The Comisar Collection is mind-blowing – he has somehow managed to get items from every TV show you can think of, from “Gunsmoke” to “Pee-Wee’s Playhouse” to “Baywatch” to “Breaking Bad!” Comisar said he’s loved collecting every single item, but the time has come to release them to fans and other collectors for them to enjoy.
We browsed the Collection and here are a few things that caught our eye!
- The bar from “Cheers.” You can own a piece of the show “where everybody knows your name!” It even has star Kirstie Alley’s name carved in it!
- The set from “All in the Family” features the original carpet, knicknacks, and even the tattered chair that Archie Bunker sat in!
- “The Late Night with David Letterman” set. It includes the desk, guest chairs, and the backdrop of mini skyscrapers in the NYC skyline!
- “The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson” set. When Carson retired after 30 years of the Tonight Show, he wanted Comisar to have his desk, couch, chairs, everything!
