[Governor Dinwiddie]

I was plenty happy seeing it as a kid on a 19 inch black and white TV. I never saw it in color until I was grown up.

Same here. Once a year, on one of the three channels we received, it was a rather Big Deal at our place. The only time I ever saw a Dolly Madsen commercial (!). Hot Cocoa. Popcorn. We really had a good time. The family finally got a color tv in around 1978. It might have still been 19”. The moment we realized the movie changed to color once Dorothy arrived in Oz, we all went nuts. A wildly creative surprise for all of us. Things were quite a bit simpler back then, and honestly, maybe quite a bit more fun as a result.

My cousins and I would watch the movie at my aunt and uncles house. Black and white TV. When Dorothy was imprisoned in the castle, my sister and girl cousins would start crying.

Years later, my sister moved to Kansas.
Boy did I have fun with that.
I found a button with Dorothy on it saying:
“Auntie Em. Hate you, hate Kansas, took the dog.”
