Not buying it....
Sorry, but to take an 88 cent dvd copy of a 40 year faded Lucy show and use that as the benchmark for early color is ludicrous. Even in the 50's a well set up color set receiving a live color program or even a film show displayed beautiful pictures. I will admit some of the early video tape color broadcasts were terrible looking, and some adjusting of color and tint controls from station to station was necessary, since many of the automatic color corrections we take for granted today were not available on the early receivers. But watching a filmed Bonanza episode in 1959 or a live Perry Como show in 1956 on your new color set was pretty awesome and very natural in living color.
