Umm, it looks exactly as good as the TV I already have, because it is ON the TV I already have! 
Do you suppose this commercial is from the roundie era, even though it does not show one? |
I'm sure that film is old Eastmancolor, which turns really red over time. The color when it was made would have been rainbow colored.
Im also sure it was advertising roundie sets.
