My next door neighbor (who was a jeweler) got a color TV. The very first TV show I saw in color was Bonanza. That was AWSOME....seeing everything in color!!! The thing was....even though you might have a color TV...most shows were still in black & white.

But those in color would advertise so, such as the old FBI show. Commercial went something like:

"The FBI......IN COLOR!!!"
