[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 312883, member: 57984"] Funnily enough, colorizing Season 1 if JEANNIE and Season 2 of BEWITCHED doesn't bother me nearly as much, because they're both from the 65-66 TV season, where series that were still shot in B&W start to look washed-out and drab --- as if this was the year the switch to color [B]should [/B]have happened. (All American primetime shows not already in color had to make the switch by fall of 1966). But Season 1 of BEWITCHED and GILLIGAN were the 64/65 season when the B&W still looked mysterious, soothing and almost hallowed. Sure, the fifth and final year of TDVDS occurs in the 65/66 season, but colorizing just one season makes no sense (so don't do [B]any [/B]of them!) And Laura Petrie was channeling Mary Richards by Season 5 anyway. Speaking of Rose Marie, she correctly said if TDVDS had made the obligatory shift to color, it could have run another 3 or 4 years... I'm glad they didn't though. NBC's programs had mostly been in color for years, starting with BONANZA because that network was owned by RCA which wanted to sell color television sets.
