Pardon the Barbra Streisand bit in the first while, lol. Thought that people here would like to take a look back at some very interesting and rare colour videotape footage from NBC programming when colour TV sets were a very expensive thing to have in one's home. I wonder if the full programs of these shows still exist as I find the 1964 Jason Robards feature "Abe Lincoln in Illinois" likely worth a look, as well as the 1962 Julie Andrews "My Fair Lady". The music features would also be nice to see.
Anyone here have memories of these?

Biden heard they invented color tv. Not sure he wants one until the quality is perfected, though.

I was born in ‘68 but I vaguely remember the color knob.
The manual channel changer I definitely recall.
And trying to get the naughty movies that barely got reception to be watchable :)

Anyone remember the Matinee Theatre TV version of Dracula (1956)which may have been in color and starred John Carradine as Dracula? I was nine and saw it on TV. My first introduction to Dracula.

I didn’t know most of the “Wizard Of Oz” was in color until our family got a color TV in the very early 70s.

We were the first family on our block to have a color TV. It was gigantic. Lots of neighbors came over to see it. This would have been about 57-58. We would look for shows on TV Guide that had a “C” for color. Otherwise you watched in black and white anyway.

Anyone remember a spoof on the news program called THAT WAS THE WEEK THAT WAS (1964)? Broadcast in color it was quite popular with those owning color TVs. We did not have a color TV till the 1970s.
The closing song was...”That was the week that was-it’s over let it go...”
Similar to “Not Necessarily The News” on HBO in the 1980s.

One of the great struggles of my youth was to convince my dad to buy a color tv. It was a total failure. His first color set was the one I gave him when I upgraded.

Has story of the battle of competing types of color TV sets. As always there is a betamax and vhs style fight. Darwin must have planned all that.
Saw an FBI dvd episode batch recently that resolutely intones “In Color”-—just as the funny opening of Leslie Neilsen Police Squad. They were so proud of that.

Isn’t Biden the dope who claimed that FDR did the “fireside chats” on TV?

Yup, I’m 75 and remember when our neighbor got the first color tv in the hood. Would have us over for color specials which were Disney productions as I recall. Then, the first weekly show in color was Bonanza. Was a big deal....

Papa Lurkin declined to purchase a color TV until our B&W ceased to function.
That was after 1966.
