Twilight Zone Where Is Everybody

The prints were in B&W because Color TV's we're tough to get until about '63. There was also no satellite distribution. So ,the local station played back a 16mm B&W print, inserted there own spots and network affiliation. Since color prints cost so much, and there weren't enough sets to even enjoy it pre-produced programming was printed to B&W stock. The artistic aspects are yet another discussion.
It still looks better on film than video. :)

In the 50s the only show in color was Disney. My folks bought one of the first color sets in 1959, it was an RCA model CTC10, 25" with a remote. It was $1000 at the time. You could buy a Cadillac for $2500, and a Rolls-Royce was $12,500. In today's dollar, that's around $30,000.

Film gave you the best look. Video of the time was garbage. Hard to control the lighting, blurry and just no artistic look to it.

go fuck yourself, hairy snothead

maybe to distract himself from the fly that landed on the van door at 5:26

The only TV show I know of that was in colour in the 1950's were the later episodes of the George Reeves era Adventures of Superman. I gave up my fight to see the 1959-64 version of The Twilight Zone colourised.

I think black and white is more eerie also

Budget ;)

This is how I feel every day.

Well you're not alone:)
