As was mentioned earlier, the extra difficulties with convergence and pincushion presented by a rectangular tube were the reasons the first color sets were round, not an inability to blow a rectangular glass funnel. As for hiding 'easter eggs', I am sure they didnt. . remember, there were millions of B&W rectangular sets watching. I dont know when the technology for adding that garbage came along, but I dont recall seeing it until the eighties.
