Very interesting; my dad was an installer of Motorola sets in Montgomery Alabama in the mid 1950's and the first color set I ever watched was a 19 inch Motorola at his boss's house--they invited employees over to see the color set in their home in late 1955; it was a presentation of Heidi in like October of that year--beautiful color as I remember--everyone was enthralled at the color commercials and all. Then my brother and I would go down to the shop in the afternoon and watch Howdy Doody in color--a great thrill for a 10 and 7 year old.
