  • That ain't living color XD

  • Color TV in the late 50s/early 60s must have been the equivalent of 1080p today. :)

  • It was BOB LeMond, 'Dampe'. Supposedly, an original videotape of this special exists somewhere, in private hands...

  • Why is a PBS logo in the corner of a full-screen NBC logo? XD

  • Well, what can one say - NBC began broadcasting in color before it had a practical way of recording in color. When Ampex came out with its quad B&W videotape recorder in 1956, RCA (NBC's parent company) began frantically trying to find a way to make the Ampex machine record and play back in color.

  • @togi55

    This following program is brought to you in dead color on NBC!

  • that's some nice color

  • FUCK YOU

  • Was this recorded in Palm Springs? I notice the KVCR logo. That's where I live.

  • My hopes have been destroyed.

    Fuck you, kinescope process, for not preserving color programming good enough.

  • living color eh, so im guessing black and white is really color tv.
