Dear Bozey 45,
I did a Goggle search of the Riverboat series and found that the only site that listed Riverboat w/ the notation B&W/Color was the Classic TV Archive site you mention. A very good informational
site, but perhaps they had a mis-print for the Riverboat series. All the other sites that list technical info the series indicate that all 44 episodes were filmed in B&W. This includes the "Western TV site" which lists: BUY RIVERBOAT DVD (3 DVD Set)(1959)
Riverboat
9/13/1959 - 1/16/1961 NBC
Black and White - 60 minutes - 44 episodes. Wikipedia, The Amazon site also lists the Riverboat DVD's as in B&W.
I also have several TV Guides from 1959-60. None include the "color icon" for Riverboat that TV Guide listed for the infrequent color shows of that era. 1959-61 was a long time ago. I also
remember watching Riverboat. I don't recall the Peacock open as I did when watching Bonanza which debuted the Sat. before Riverboat's Sun. debut in Sept. 1959. Please don't regard this as a debate.
Just my opinion on the subject after a bit of research.
