Thank you for all the responses.
I did forget to mention the "tans" on the Burbank shows. Especially on Dean and Dan Rowan very obvious to the casual viewer.
Not being and engineer or tech savy, one of the responders mentioned break upbars or banding on early video tapes. I was always curious about those slight horizontal bands that would come through on the video of those taped programs and now have a name for that effect. That was the only way I could tell at the time whether a program was live or on tape.
Just recently one of the local cable channels here on Long Island was re-running and old show of Bishop Fulton Sheen that was taped in the late 60's at WNEW in NY using the old Norelco Plumicons but the tape must have been a tape of a tape of a tape and you could see very clearly those horizontal bands just barely making it watchable. Would have loved to have seen a prisitine copy of the show the Plumbicons really could deliver a nice picture.
