Are you sure this aired 12/18/65? I thought most network primetime programs went to color in the fall of '65. Was Gunsmoke the exception?

[TheGunsmokeChannel]

@Teflon65 Yes according to tv.com

as far as color TV I was a TV Junkie then as well, and NBC had more color shows because of their joint association with RCA then a true American made company. CBS sat stubborn the longest, ABC even had color shows in the mid 60's.

One of the guys with judge looks likes Rick Rude

I did not like Kitty... She used Matt reputation ALL THE TIME but never GIVE HER CAT TO MATT

@karlakor yeah, I liked Bonanza. the set just wasn't that good.

[karlakor]

@CarolJean65 After reading your comment, I have to say I agree with you. Thinking back on Bonanza, it seems that those story lines could have taken place during any era, not just in the old west. The Big Valley, like Gunsmoke, captured the spirit of that era better than Bonanza.

15:00 I guess the mangy lookin fellas need a flea bath. LOL

[CarolJean65]

@karlakor In my opinion, Bonanza looked too fake. The Big Valley is second to Gunsmoke.

@Teflon65 The Dick van Dyke Show went off the air in the spring of '66 and it was never color.
