Depended on how hard Dad hit the TV. It was only in color when it felt
like it. With a good Smack, sometimes you could get an entire program
in color.

I remember waiting for the NBC peacock because much of the programming
was still in black and white. It was fun to see black and white
content strobing into color if they had a tight pattern like checks or
stripes and they moved too fast. At some point there was a color
killer circuit added to TVs that would prevent that when there was no
color burst present in the video waveform.

About 1963, a birthday and getwell party for a classmate, got to see
Hoss in full color on Bonanza! He had fallen onto some exposed rebar at
a construction site. Broke a rib and missed his lung. I didn't know
you could lose that much blood and live!

Around 1974 when my parents bought one. Probably a bit earlier for
“seen one” - I think my grandparents had one before that. And that
cool ‘Radar Range”.

When was the first time you saw color TV? I saw it at a neighbor’s
house Apollo 10.
