Walt Disney's wonderful world of color was a huge factor for color tv. (1961 to 1969) This program united the family for the first time in front of a color tv. Sears stores open theirs store on Sundays afternoon just to promote selling their color set with that show. During the show, time stopped inside sears stores. Kids (many, many) were sitting on the floor, the rest were standing, and the salespersons were calling the in house credit dept. for all the sales they did. That was the event. people who did not have the COLOR tv, Sear sunday afternoon was the place. It was magical.
