@Mcnzlea - And it didn't hurt, too, that Philips introduced a color studio camera, marketed under the Norelco name and designated PC-60, that used Plumbicon tubes and provided a better picture than what RCA's color cameras were providing at the time (especially the infamous TK-42 which, in manufacture, succeeded TK-41's which were in NBC studios up to 1969 and, in some cases, as late as '71). But this development served to aid in CBS's "anything but RCA" equipment buying policy.

Very startling sounder on this one...Had my speakers too loud and jumped out of my chair!...Seems strange to think back to the days when color TV was a big deal...But back then it was...

@wannawatchu66 I read on Wikipedia that Bob Crane actually personally performed the drum parts on the theme song.

they kept this logo in the mission impossible episodes on netflix streaming.

@wannawatchu66 You'll be happy to know that when Hogan's Heroes was released on DVD, they kept the bumper.

...who said to Paley if CBS didn't adapt and change, they would lose a lot of viewers who had just bought new color TV sets. After the scare of the '64-'65 season and the ouster of Jim Aubrey, regular colorcasting turned out to be a very smart move.

By 1967 most of CBS' shows were color except for daytime reruns of sitcoms originally filmed in B&W.

Then again, CBS wasn't all that interested in color broadcasting. They had a technological edge in color television technology in the early 50s until RCA countered with something better, and theirs was chosen over CBS'. For the next decade or so CBS decided not to use the RCA system all that much, at one point very rarely, and Bill Paley had to be coerced into crayoning his program schedule by newly installed CBS-TV president Jack Schnieder....

CBS had the worst intro logo. NBC had the best.
