Offered at auction for the first time, the auction includes more than 300 lots that celebrate television's golden age, from The Honeymooners and The Munsters to Get Smart, I Dream of Jeannie, Batman, Wonder Woman and more.
This highly anticipated sale includes screen-used costumes, production-used props, set pieces, original artwork, and promotional materials spanning the 1950s through the 1970s — a golden era of broadcast comedy, superheroes and sci-fi.
"My dad started this collection before the auction world for this kind of material existed," says Dr. Berkowitz's son, Jordan Meddy. "He was an early adopter of eBay, and at first he collected what he came across, and was especially into The Honeymooners and Batman," he explained. "His collection expanded, and then contracted as he became more serious about it, and decided to focus it on the 1950s, '60s and '70s. He was very detail-oriented, and he wanted it to be the most complete, authentic collection possible. He put everything he had into it."

Dr. Berkowitz's impressive collection garnered attention from auction experts, who are now giving the public a chance to win a piece of classic television history.
"As one of the most comprehensive and passionately assembled collections of vintage television memorabilia ever brought to market, this auction represents a lifetime of love for these shows," says Joe Maddalena, Executive Vice President at Heritage Auctions.
"It speaks not only to Dr. Berkowitz's discerning eye and deep knowledge of television history, but also to the love, nostalgia and humor he brought to everything he did. Collectors will recognize the care that went into every acquisition, and the cultural significance of what's now coming to auction for the very first time."
The Stewart Berkowitz Television Treasures Auction will be held October 24, 2025, exclusively at Heritage Auctions. Public viewing of select highlights will be available at Heritage's New York gallery from September 23 to October 1, 2025, and Beverly Hills' gallery from October 6-10, 2025.
