I always pay attention to get a glimpse at TV's in old shows. One thing that bugged me was when they would take a b&W set and mat a color picture in it.
Speaking of old sets, this past weekend TVLand showed the 1963 Christmas episode of The Beverly Hillbillies " Christmas at The Clampetts". Granny gets a new RCA color roundie in a french provincial cabinet. She thinks it's a washing machine. I also got a DVD of the 1969 ABC Movie of the week " Gidget Grows Up" starring Karen Valentine (she was a looker). She is watching what looks to be a Sylvania console, but can't be sure. I might take a screen cap and post it. I also have the first season of Love American Style on DVD from 1969, and there is one episode with Red Buttons who is watching a remote console. It appears to be an Admiral. Red uses the remote several times. He plays a sports fanatic who pays no attention to his wife played by Carolyn Jones. His long lost love Kioko a Korean girl shows up and pampers him. Later on Carolyn threatens divorce and say's she wants everything including the TV which he freaks out.
