[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 312906, member: 7"] [JUSTIFY]THE LUCY SHOW began producing episodes in color in 1963, although they didn't start airing in color until 1965. The color seasons of that show -- especially the last three, star-stuffed seasons -- had a healthy second-life in syndication. Ironically enough, however, the first B&W season contains the best of the show and arguably the last truly "great" TV work Lucille Ball did. [/JUSTIFY] [JUSTIFY]Colorizing those seasons definitely make more sense, even if the B&W versions hold some nostalgia. [/JUSTIFY] [JUSTIFY]Tampering with a quality show such as DICK VAN DYKE doesn't make any sense. I watch the colorized episodes of I LOVE LUCY strictly for the novelty of it -- and I even have the DVDs of those colorized episodes -- but Lucy Ricardo never echoed so brightly as she did in those good-ole-B&W prints. [/JUSTIFY] [JUSTIFY]Running another three or four years -- especially in color -- would've morphed DICK VAN DYKE into ANDY GRIFFITH, where the later color seasons just simply fall short of the show's B&W heyday.
