RCA color tv set from 1956 with NBC logo

[bax323]

People laugh today, but color TVs were a big deal back in the day. They were very expensive. Adjusted for inflation they cost alot more than HDTVs. My parents couldn't afford one, I always went to my aunts house to watch her set. Didn't matter how boring the program was to me as long as it was in color.

[robertgift]

How interesting. Thank you, TM.

We never had a color TV until the 1970s

Was this color picture tube ROUND?

[poleeed]

back then that was like a 55inch 1080p 240hz 3D LCD-TV with 5,000,000:1 contrast ratio and wifi internet access.

[UncleMikeNJ]

There was a cartoon called "TV of Tomorrow," from 1954, showing a non-animated clip of a woman water-skiing, but only half the screen was in color.  The joke was that the set was only half-paid-for.

[chuckbyf1]

Reminds me of watching Disney around 65. So exciting to see it in color for the first time. Brings back memories to hear the old G-E-C notes. That stood for General Electric Company who owned NBC back in the old radio days.

[Boeing744andRCAquad]

When my family had a Zenith "roundie", for some reason, our Siamese cat, KoKo, liked to lay on top of it.

I will never understand why NBC tried to ditch the Peacock in the mid-70's.

[IstvanN1961]

@Boeing744andRCAquad When I was a kid we had a large, metal cased "portable" TV, probably 24-26", BW Zenith that my cat liked to sleep on top of. Cats liked the heat the old tube TVs gave off. Her tail would fall down in front of the picture!

[toucansam3]

What on the TV did you restore? Are all the parts in the tube original?

[kagiso3741]

I want a time machine to go back to those simple times ..

[franciscomartinezher]

THANKS CAMARENA!!!!! NOTABLE MEXICAN!!!

[Sheri451]

We must have watched NBC all the time, because I remember that music. I was born in 1963 and all I can remember is color TV

[Imaan158]

How did you tune in to the old NBC?

[auaiao9]

Am I old enough to remember this? Yes, I am.

[dgr8zod]

Somewhere, I have this peacock on 16mm film.. In the '60's, we had family movie night with films checked out of the library, usually educational in nature. The local NBC station had aired it, and returned it with the footage still attached. It wasn't when the film was returned ;)

[paradiseshow1988]

That looks just like a dvd player under the screen.

[rockabillycat1954]

@paradiseshow1988 it's a flip down door to get to the picture adjustment knobs... color, tint, brightness, contrast, verticle hold

[kalinga01]

the peacock is why i started watching NBC programs in the first place.

[jimbobubbadj]

Cool! I loved the "in color" intros in the 60's as a young kid.

[MrXalexer]

where can I get one and how much will it cost (sorry for double comment if that annoys you)

-MrXalexer

[MrXalexer]

I think watching this in NON-HD and filling up the screen makes it better than any other logo.

[bobbieqube]

We have an old DuMont TV that came with our house when we bought it. 20 years ago I plugged it in and it worked fine. I still have it, but haven't tried to digitalize (?) it yet. Now I'm interested in pulling it out and playing with it. Thanx!

[ThomasDeLello]

The Bradbury family lived right up the street from me. I saw my first color TV at their house while Trick or Treating on Holloween night in 1957. I went to school at P.S. 8 with his son Ray and my sister dated his older son once. Early broadcast color TV was really bad and you would probably prefer to watch it in black and white in those days.

[rolex452]

Thanks for posting this. My Grandpa bought the same general model set in 1957, it said "SUPER" on the nameplate in front. It had manual tuning, and the box contained approximately 2 1/2 thousand tubes (so it seemed). THERE WAS ALMOST NOTHING ON IN COLOR IN 1957! He would run the set MAYBE an hour every few days. You had to adjust the hue & color intensity constantly, as it would change from one show/channel to another. Great stuff!

[coloradostar50]

i used to repair these oldd types of sony curtis mathis rca ctc100 and old tube type b and w tv those were the days ..

[Sheri451]

I wish I could remember this, I can lways remember color.

[gbwisconsin]

The NBC Peacock with the early RCA color set is wonderful. If I'm not being too personal, where do you get the after-market vacuum tubes and what do they cost?

[stevekosareff]

I have a related video on YouTube you might be interested in about how television sets were sold from the 1950s-1970s entitled, "TV MAN: THE SEARCH FOR THE LAST INDEPENDENT DEALER."

[vantalge]

I remember the first time I saw a color TV. It was in a department store and there was a Flinstones episode on. Who knew the dinosaur was purple?

[Xtrigit]

hahhaaha 

[PeteRFNY]

Hey! Can you post a clean copy of that Peacock open? I never saw a version with the word "live" in it before!

[phyzzique]

@PeteRFNY Doubt if it was 1956, NBC didn't use that version of the peacock until early sixties. When NBC broadcast the World Series or the Oscars, it would use the term 'live and in living color' to let the audience know that the 'color' program was being broadcast 'live' as well.

[gjetost]

@phyzzique @TeslaMaster Yes, I believe phyzzique is right -- you can easily find the 1957 version of the NBC peacock here on YouTube to clear that up. Also, you could redo this(?), call it from 1957, and it would be chronologically accurate. Because as it stands, it's not...but cool, nevertheless! :-)

[paulj0557]

My dad in 1954 payed a huge amount ( from his little paycheck, unlike him...no kids yet.) for a color TV. He had it a week and the YOKE went out. He said he very carefully unwound it, and spent a few days rewinding it. The TV worked! Now he was a master engineer who loved wire for some reason. He had 15 patents on several hand held and pneumatic wire strippers & showed me how to rewind speakers as a teen and being a metal head this came in very handy. Anyway, in 1975 he paid $200 magnavox19"

[SourApplez1211]

This is some scary logo.

[Boeing744andRCAquad]

@SourApplez1211 Why is it scary? It(the Peacock) is one of the best TV logos ever created. The Peacock was created to grab the attention of viewers(and help sell those RCA color TV sets)which is why it stands out!

[ron22696]

That is absolutely AMAZING!!!

[DE4715]

how did you do it?

[TeslaMaster]

I reproduced an old color tv tape recording via antenna input with this set and filmed it with a digital camera. So easy and nothing more.

[DE4715]

Ah I see said the blind man.

[Nodog438]

@TeslaMaster Did you get this on The Wizard Of Oz?

[mig189189189]

Awesome video. Keep on with that good work!

[icenine2]

I remember as a kid (1960?) in Brooklyn, a neighbor had an old t.v. with a very small, round screen and between the television and the sofa was a round magnifying glass in a pedestal stand that magnified the picture. he also still used coal to heat his house. Am I old?

[Yehudi]

CTC-4 LIVES!! We had one made in 1960, a gift from a guy who got tired of paying the repair man! It had excellent color and resolution...far better than today's flat screens..very natural looking. And the TV programming then: there's no comparison to todays crap, even when you consider Dish and cable! Thank's for the memories!

[erielackman]

I remember repairing CTC-16 chassis, never touched a CTC-4

[Yehudi]

'Biggest problem with the 4 was heat; humidity, and high voltage on those old paper-base PC boards! Ours had a persistent arc over in the AGC of the video IF. 'Wish I had kept it today!

[savammy]

rca tv's used to be good but they are crap today,they only lat a couple years.i still have one rca .i have had it over 10 years.sharps are the best today. nbc cbs,abc were great back in the 50's 60's 70's but they show alot iof junk today although i have to admit cbs has some of the best shows

[MissSkymin]

I'd watch digital TV on that; it'd look better than today's crap TVs that burn out every month.

[haskellbob]

would've liked to see more. Some faces, scenery, etc.

[monkeymichel]

i remember that stupid peacock

[SteelCity1981]

Wow man having a color TV in 50's was like having HDTV to them.

[whattheheck1000]

@SteelCity1981 Color TV in the 50's is like HDTV was in 2000.

Color TV in about 1970 is like HDTV is today. Our family has one HDTV and two SDTV's.

[lrd9999]

Gas was cheap, music was better, vinyl siding hadn't caught on yet ...

BUT:

Vietnam, cars got lousy mileage and ran like crap. lots of pollution ...

BUT: No Chinese sheetrock (they were too busy killing each other) ....

BUT: No aluminum wiring (at least in anything post-1972) ....

We could go on all day!

[bluenowait]

I think I know why the peacock looks great on that TV. It's an RCA!

[mmmbad]

The 50's and the 60's were great times. Most everyone seems to have forgotten the simple pleasures. I loved watching the peacock.

[Lagomort]

"For one thing,in the 60's you could quit a job in the morning and get another one in the afternoon.Try doing that today."

And if you were black, where would that job have been?

[whattheheck1000]

Things were getting much better for blacks by the 60s.

[Lagomort]

Oh, and I am sure Obama could have got elected in a landslide, right?

The claim was that the 60s were better than now...not the 1940s.

[Lagomort]

Gee Mr. Hartley, I think maybe I should re-post your response that you deleted so people can see you for the confused bigot that you are, hm?

[Lagomort]

"I spent 3,652 days in the 60's.You're absolutely correct.They were great.Today,except for medical procedures,everything sucks. "

Spoken like a true old person that does not realize their perspective is warped and they are viewing their life through the editing glasses of time...

[TeslaMaster]

Yes, it is.

[MerleOberon]

Is that the "Aldrich"? I heard they weren't very reliable because of printed circuits, amazing its still working after all this time..

[batterymaker]

Boy that takes me back. I remember seeing that version of the bird all the time when I was a kid.

[TiMeCapsule123]

Wish I had a TV like that.

[haguilar84]

I'm just wondering if someone tried a converter box on that TV to get a digital signal.

[TeslaMaster]

I did it. Go to fernsehmuseum . net / rca / img / CTC-5_02.jpg.

[wdharveyoicu]

That seems to me to be a recording of a color broadcast on a vintage color TV...am I right?

[TeslaMaster]

Yes, it is an early videotaped recording of the Bell Telephone Hour.

[themaritimeman]

Thats cool! It must be one of the first color TVs. It's cool how back then they took the time to let you know special that it was in color. God, I wish I could spend just one day in the 1960's...

[Klottelitsch]

HEHE:

"warm up' before you saw a picture. And of course having to adjust the color and also fiddle with the channel knobs to get a decent picture."

YES 100% electron tube construction..very very nice and easy to repair...they last forever...just change some caps maybe a PCL tube thats it...love those old machines.

[Partier29]

That's so cool(even if it's just a re-creation)! Wouldn't "Punky Brewster" look sooo colorful on that set? :D

[kimberlyKfnOphiEAGLE]

Or the Ed Sullivan show...with the Beatles!!

[kimberlyKfnOphiEAGLE]

Someone said the idea for the Peacock came from 'Pat' Weaver of NBC, but I read somewhere the idea came from Candella, the wife of John J. Graham, who created 'the bird'

Anyway, it's nice to see the Peacock and remember NBC shows from the 1960's.

Now if someone could post a clip of one of these 'roundies' showing 'Emergency!'

[kimberlyKfnOphiEAGLE]

One of the things I remember about these old color sets is how they had to 'warm up' before you saw a picture. And of course having to adjust the color and also fiddle with the channel knobs to get a decent picture. And it was all futile unless you had a decent antenna, before CATV came into existence.

[hesterjumper]

WOW

[douro20]

NBC was the first to broadcast color television using the new RCA system. They took color television very seriously.

[kjclark1963]

Actually, CBS was the FIRST to broadcast in color. They has a system hybrid mechanical-electronic system called "field sequential" color that was FCC approved in the early 1950s. However, it was not compatable with B&W and was later pulled. When RCA perfected their all-electronic color, it became the basis for NTSC color which has lasted until now.

[NutsandGuts]

I wanna play Gran turismo 5 on that!

[kimberlyKfnOphiEAGLE]

Sorry, no Gran Turismo back in those days. Also if you did play a video game on a vintage TV set like that, it would cause 'burn-in' on the picture tube if you played for a long time. Vintage TV gear needs to be treated with care.

[NutsandGuts]

lol dude even the most retarded person on earth knows there was no gran turismo back in 1956, and if the game image's moving then you wouldn't suffer "burn in" so it in fact CAN be played on this TV.

[kimberlyKfnOphiEAGLE]

Why does the color on a PAL set look brighter than on an NTSC set? How do the phosphors differ? Will high-definition TV eventually be better than it is now, picture-wise?

[TeslaMaster]

VCRs did not exist in these days when this set was made.

[victorfan80]

lmao! and even now VCR are also archaic lol! almost old fashioned with the digital age of the 21st centure!

[winerrs]

Does this TV have a built-in VCR?

[DrLove0378]

Sadly, a lot of people (mostly those who don't know any better) will be driven to throw away their vintage sets, because of the government's "DTV switchover" scaremongering. They say that the TV's simply "*won't work* after February 17, 2009", and that could be misleading.

[kimberlyKfnOphiEAGLE]

If people already have cable, those TV's would work. Those with cable, the switch does not affect.

[cat333pokemon]

VCRs, DVD players, set-top boxes, and game consoles will still work fine if they use the analog output. In addition, those that buy a digital-to-analog converter will still be able to receive broadcasts.

[Jal8919536]

Not necessarily: there are converters available for analog sets.

[CreativeCritisizm]

I wonder what the Japanese had at this time ?

[sapphiresanchez]

interesting!

[MBpictures]

That's how this ID is supposed to look.

[TeslaMaster]

No problem. You can get one. Go to the wellknown place for auctions on the internet and search for 280238798779.

[Kargaroc286]

Fuck plasma. i would rather have this.

[johneymute]

even today,s lcd screens sucks duo it,s bad response time soft colors,limmited side view and you even could sometimes sence details double like letters, unlike on normal or plasma tv,s duo it,s lower resolution.

[kimberlyKfnOphiEAGLE]

I still don't understand why NBC ever tried to 'ditch' the Peacock and went with that 'N' that they ended up being SUED over. Nice to see 'the bird' is back although much different looking. I remember reading the six feathers on the modern Peacock represent the different departments of NBC, I forget exactly which oness.

[Imperatoriusuius]

I like that.

[92days]

how did you get the nbc peacock on that old tv in 2007

[Sneigke]

Wow! How fitting, a 1956 early color set with the earlt "in living color" NBC tags...

Love it!

That original "color Peacock" ID is permanently burned into my brain and cherish it.

Sometimes on TVland, or other cable chanels, they will televise the show in total including the tags...

[jandj402]

Today its all about shows in HD wow the world has changed.

[kimberlyKfnOphiEAGLE]

BTW the aforementioned 'A Hard Day's Night' was released for the movie theaters in 1964.

[Jal8919536]

The NBC Peacock logo looks lovlier on that set instead of the HDTV set. I hope someday they make a HDTV-compatible antique-style set like they do the stereo/LP players sets that are CD-compatible you see advertised in catalogs these days.

[kimberlyKfnOphiEAGLE]

I'd love to know whether the cels used to create the animated Peacocks have been preserved by NBC. It seems to me that ABC and CBS never show any of their old color ID's...it's like they don't want to look back at when they went color. I wonder if that's because ABC and CBS did not think to preserve their old ID's.

[gavincurtis]

Very beautiful color from a 50+ year old tv.

[RayPointer]

Yes, but that's not the peacock from that era.

[kimberlyKfnOphiEAGLE]

There was a Peacock that was used in 1957 that used different animation and a full orchestral music background. As SHAUNE mentioned, the Peacock being shown on this set was used for the PREMIERE of 'Days of Our Lives', which was the first NBC 'soap' to premiere in Living Color.

[RayPointer]

The first NBC Peacock animation had the tail spreading out in a fan with the colors flashing. The example here is from 1962 or so.

[kimberlyKfnOphiEAGLE]

Yep, this is the second animated Peacock, known also as the 'Laramie' Peacock.

[andresmalagreca]

1962

[Nokorola]

How can you tell that it is from Days of our lives? It was used for all color broadcasts (ex. youtube--dot--com/watch?v=CGSP­RTK7ke8).

[kimberlyKfnOphiEAGLE]

Okay...one word is different in the announcement. The word 'LIVE' is not in every Peacock announcement. There were different announcements used for different reasons..one was for NBC specials where the wording was 'a Special Program in living color' There was also a one time only 'Penguin' animation used when NBC aired the Beatles movie "A Hard Day's Night" which was in black and white(the movie was filmed in black and white, no 'colorizing' B&W films back in 1967 when NBC aired it)

[Yesimustbestupid2]

I do remember this Peacock (with the "live" tag) for some reason (I'm not sure, why, maybe my grandmother was visiting us or we were visiting her, & I do remember later in the 1970's, she watched this soap) was used for the opening of the daytime drama, "Another World" which at the time aired live.

[SHAUNERDANIEL]

When Days of our Lives, first aired on November, 8, 1965. This was NBC Logo was used... It was the very first soap opera to premier in living color...

[RobinMetrocolor]

You know, It would be cool to see this TV set playing modern NBC programming

[AmbientMusic]

TV sucks now. How about streaming Internet Video. That would be BAD ASS!!!

[kimberlyKfnOphiEAGLE]

Duh, sorry, not on an antique TV.

[123demaio]

chaplooplia

[frankftw]

Notice the accurate red and green. Starting in the late 1960s, the picture tube phosphors were changed to favor brightness over color accuracy , and "flesh tone correction circuits" overemphasized peach-pink-orange range of skin tone (of white people)

[piplol2468]

nice set great picture

[reyzaguirr]

I like how the curves of the set make the video feel different than just seeing the footage on youtube. Everything I watch will now have to be displayed on your television.

[RobinMetrocolor]

I keep coming back to watch this video. It's so damn brilliant. Could you do the same thing for other Logos (Such as the CBS color logo and the ABC color logo)?

[TeslaMaster]

I have to get an original NTSC video source of these logos. When I get them, I will do it.

[fonna]

Psychedelic!

[jdollinter]

Wow, the very first color TV, hard to believe they already had the technology and

proto set by '54. This answerer's my question about the early color sets and the quality of the picture. First you had to shut off all the lights, remember those days? The first units were a cool $1000.

[TeslaMaster]

This set was made two years later, in 1956, and the price was $499 in that year.

[scotpens]

Yes, bright room lighting would wash out the picture on those early color sets. And I remember having to constantly fiddle with the color controls to keep the picture watchable. Before automatic color tuning, every time you changed channels or even when the broadcast switched from program to commercial and back again on the same channel, the color would get all screwed up. A lot of running back and forth in the days when most TVs didn't have remote control.

[kimberlyKfnOphiEAGLE]

But there's one thing that I find annoying...every TV looks 'generic' no more decent cabinetry since most people use 'entertainment centers'. And HD is not without its problems. Well, the 'trial period' is over come next year when ATSC becomes the standard here in the US.

[scotpens]

Radios, TVs and what we used to call the "stereo" or the "hi-fi" were once housed in fancy furniture because they were meant to be the center of attention in a room -- and because old-fashioned electronics were bulky and needed ventilation space. I remember when every radio & TV store, hardware store and drugstore had a tube tester. Modern entertainment gadgets are simply a part of everyday life, and for the most part are basic "black boxes" that don't call attention to themselves.

[kimberlyKfnOphiEAGLE]

One 'gadget' that has definitely improved, not just in the 'looks' department...the personal computer.

Wait, another one...the cell phone.

[bellydancer1970]

Back when Earth was a legit planet!

[kimberlyKfnOphiEAGLE]

I wonder why NBC has never created a 'High Definition' Peacock, at least for specials and stuff like 'Football Night in America'..which sounds like a title inspired by CBC's(network?) 'Hockey Night In Canada' I'm not complaining, just a coincidence

[alchemistmuffin]

Seriously, that's sooo cool

[alchemistmuffin]

Okay!

Now I want to see the set playing modern NBC programming in color...

[dharmamark]

Wow! too much! Very entertaining.

[fromthesidelines]

Yes, 'kimberly', the Peacock WAS shown before the beginning of EVERY NBC color program until the summer of 1970, when the network gradually withdrew the bumper from their schedule, eliminating it completely by 1971.

[musicom67]

1971, wow. My earliest TV memories were when I was 4 !? You sure there weren't a few still in 1972?

[sammyreed]

Actually, it was 1975 when it was no longer shown regularly.

[sammyreed]

... Well, regularly or semi-regularly.

[eyeh8cbs]

And now instead of showing a bumper before their high-definition programs, they stick a peacock with the letters "HD" next to it and keep it in the corner of the screen for the WHOLE show, rendering it unwatchable! I'd rather they went back to black-and-white than do HD with on-screen crap! What if in the 60s they put "COLOR" on the screen, with each word in different colors, and left it up so everyone would know they're watching a color show?

[zendcs]

And that actually would've been helpful back in the 60s cos not every American household had a color tv set back in the day. Problem was tv graphics were not as good as they are today.

Hence - Not every American household has a high-definition tv (very expensive).

I also remember back in the 80s when NBC was the first major tv network to broadcast IN STEREO - And that dreaded little peacock would flash on the bottom-center of the screen.

[eyeh8cbs]

Well, it only stayed there a few seconds, at the beginning, not through the WHOLE damn show! They should have had a constant announcement playing, shouting "IN STEREO!" over and over again, alternating between the left and right channels, mixed in with the show's audio.

[kimberlyKfnOphiEAGLE]

What I am talking about by 'high definition Peacock' is using a Peacock, done in HD, to 'banner' all HD programming like the Laramie Peacock shown in this video was seen before all NBC color programs. As the prices come down on HD sets, more people might buy them if they knew what shows are in HD, on NBC, ABC, and CBS.

[CharlesCoburn]

A large proportion of those who own HD sets don't have them set up to receive HD broadcasts, and half of those don't even realize they're not taking advantage of their set's capabilities.

[Partier29]

Well, the population of Americans owning an HD set has grown to 30% (at least) by 2007, 10 years after it was first introduced, whereas by 1964 (10 years after color TV became available), only 4% owned a color set. And prices for HD sets have dropped more significantly as a result. Think about that.

[kimberlyKfnOphiEAGLE]

The Fox network also was in stereo back in the 1980's...at least 'Married..with Children' had stereo sound.

[SHAUNERDANIEL]

I see this logo used even today still sometimes...

[kimberlyKfnOphiEAGLE]

Usually it's used today when NBC has 'anniversary' specials. I've even seen the old Peacock on United Airlines' NBC In Flight, on a flight from Chicago back to Philly.

[MrGeneKim]

I'm extremely impressed. My parents had a B&W RCA TV from 1959, and growing up, I remember seeing the NBC peacock in not-so-glorious black & white many times. Seeing the color peacock on a vintage color RCA set - even if it's just a recreation - is a real treat. Thanks.

[kimberlyKfnOphiEAGLE]

There's a guy here in New Jersey who actually has a restored RCA CT-100 "Merrill". The Press of Atlantic City ran an article about how he got the set and restored it. The guy's name is Pete Desknis(I'm not sure whether I spelled his last name correctly)and he's got a website about CT-100's. I found it using Google, the site is pretty cool.

[TeslaMaster]

It is Pete Deksnis. I already have communicated with him. He has also a ctc-5 on his website.

[randomstuff2007]

Wow! That must've been hard to find!

[TreyBenjamin]

dID YOU RECORD THIS

[TeslaMaster]

Yes.

[kimberlyKfnOphiEAGLE]

Why would someone use the word 'retarded' because someone has never seen this Peacock in their lives? jeffery could be too young to remember it. But sometimes NBC shows the old Peacock in ads and has even had different animators do different versions, like the Spumco "Johnny Chimes" Peacock..

Maybe I'm showing my age here, as I remember the old Peacock being aired before EVERY NBC show in 1966, when they went 'full color'.

[632838]

I also seen the pic of the 1956 RCA Color tv on a German Website. There was one German fellow who was importing a television exactly like this one on this video clip. There ware pictures of the set after the back cover was removed pic pf the chassis and the alone metal-cone pic tube. It is an 21AXP22. I also have the service manuals for the set.

[kimberlyKfnOphiEAGLE]

One thing I like about the older color sets, before solid-state became common, is how bright the color picture is, almost like watching a Technicolor movie. Some of today's TV's look like the color is not as rich and vibrant. Maybe it's because my TV is not 'top-of-the-line'...I still remember the first color TV my family owned, it was an Admiral console, we got it in 1965.

[kimberlyKfnOphiEAGLE]

Cool! Which model of RCA color set is that? There were quite a few, like the "Wingate", "Aldrich" and of course the CT-100, known as the "Merrill"...I've never heard that Peacock announcement, wonder what show that Peacock was used for. Usually the standard "Living Color" announcement was used. But they also had an announcement for specials, as well as another special one for NBC's broadcast of "A Hard Day's Night"..that "Penguin" opening.

[TeslaMaster]

It is the "Aldrich" with the CTC-5 chassis. Search for "rca" and "aldrich" on Google and you will find my documentation of this set at the top of the Google listing. The Peacock announcement was from the 1960's.

[jdizzle61]

Absolutely sweet...as it was intended to be seen!

[damusician]

whoa!!! that tv kicks ass were u git that itz sure a very rare tv

[dnm728]

Wow! A 1956 color set, in perfect working order, showing the Kaleidoscopic Peacock! Amazing! This announcement is slightly different in that it announces a program "Live in Living Color."

[fjeffrey10]

I certainly don't remember seeing that when I've ever watched NBC. But I only watch TV about five times a year so that could be why.

[xreddragonx]

Are you midly retarded? The real reason you haven't ever seen that NBC clip is likely due to it having not been shown in over 30 years.

[musicom67]

Let me guess you were born after 1970....

[TeslaMaster]

No. I was born ten years before.

[xreddragonx]

No tesla, musicom67 was responding to wiz fjeffrey10, who was born well after 1980 yet wondering why he never saw a logo that aired exclusively between the 1960s early 1970s on NBC television, lol. Btw tesla, this video rocks.
