Why is this episode black and white and funny sounding?

[ISNorden]

@rtuckerivey: it's black and white because it came from an old kinescope copy, though I don't know the reason for the strange audio quality.

This episode looks like it was from kinescope. I was originally broadcast in color,right?

[ISNorden]

@MrBigrose11: Correct on both counts; I'd like to see the color version myself, but no one has a copy as far as I know.

It's 1971, but it's making me think it's from the 50's because it's in black and white.

It's amazing, they don't make it like they use too.

25:55 made me laugh out loud. Poor Bert, though!

@aldiakaroofus I thought I was going crazy

I never realized they used to repeat segments within the same show.
