In those days, if you wanted color you went the theater to see a movie, IF they were showing one in "Technicolor. " |
Nope--I lied a little.
My grandfather had a piece of transparent vinyl that stuck to the b&w tv screen using static electricity. The top of the screen was shaded in sky blue, the middle was grass green and the bottom was dirt brown. When Little Joe, his brothers and father were sitting on their horses, as the credits rolled, Papa had a color tv.
