Who remembers the first color TV broadcast by RCA’s three color system?
Who remembers not wanting to be seen in public without a suit and tie?
I do. The guy a few houses down worked for RCA on the color TV system, and he had a prototype color set on temporary loan. January 1, 1954, he called my parents and said to get to their house at a certain time. I had no idea why, but we got to watch the Rose Bowl parade in color. Very few people got to see it in color.
