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.

The first broadcast circa 1948-49 from the RCA Labs on US 1 in NJ only reached a few miles I think - it was aimed at a system to broadcast color to black & white TVs ( the only kind available then ). The broadcast was a repeating loop of a black monkey in a green jungle eating a yellow banana under a blue sky. No Rose Bowl.
