Maybe Skippy was produced using film techniques, so no colo(u)r video
equipment was involved. I don't believe this series was ever rebroadcast
in Canada after 1976, as we didn't get a color TV until 1977 (in my
household, I mean) and I never saw it in color. Just my two cents' worth.
P.S.: a look at Wikipedia confirms that it was produced on 16-mm color film.
