Mostly, I think it was specials & the odd sporting event. The only program I remember being in color was "The Amazing Adventures of Superman" from '57-'58. And it was syndicated. Another was Walt Disney's "Wonderful World of Color", which came on Sunday nights on NBC (Owned by RCA, guess what they hawked a LOT of?) Color was EXPENSIVE, & it was basically not til 1964-65 that enuff sets had been sold-critical mass, if you will-to justify much color programming. And what color programming there was,was basically only on NBC, ABC couldn't afford it, & CBS didn't want to help their nemisis, Sarnoff. It took a brave (and wealthy) soul to go out on a limb & buy one of those early color sets,'cause there wasn't a whole lot to "show off" on it to yr neighbors. And of course there were no such things as VCRs or DVDs then, so you were stuck w/the networks...-Sandy G.
