I should have posted more info, but I couldn't get the quote box to work on the little old Asus eee 700 that I was using at the time. Craig Adams went on to list specific programs that were "tinted"
Quote:
The tinted episodes broadcast were:
October 4, 1961 "Wagon Train" The Kitty Allbright Story, starring: Polly Bergen.
October 4, 1961 "The Joey Bishop Show" Domestic Relations.
November 1, 1961 "Wagon Train" The Jenna Douglas Story, starring: Carolyn Jones.
November 1, 1961 "The Joey Bishop Show" Five Brides For Joey.
November 15, 1961 "Wagon Train" The Mark Miner Story, starring: Barbara Parkins.
November 15, 1961 "The Joey Bishop Show" Charity Begins At Home.
February 7, 1962 "Wagon Train" The Lonnie Fallon Story, starring: Gary Clarke.
February 7, 1962 "The Joey Bishop Show" Double Exposure.
February 21, 1962 "Wagon Train" The Daniel Clay Story, starring: Claude Rains.
February 21, 1962 "The Joey Bishop Show" Very Warm For Christmas.
March 14, 1962 "Wagon Train" The Amos Billings Story, starring: Paul Fix.
March 14, 1962 "The Joey Bishop Show" That's Show Biz.
Eventually these two shows were shot in color. The retooled Joey Bishop Show debuted in color on NBC September 15, 1962 with the episode: The Honeymoon. "Wagon Train" was shot in color, in its 90 minute format on ABC, beginning September 16, 1963 with the episode: The Molly Kincaid Story, starring Barbara Stanwyck, Carolyn Jones & Fabian.

He indicated that the '61-'62 Wed night NBC "color" schedule was as follows:
Quote:
7:30pm "Wagon Train" 60 minutes.
8:30pm "The Joey Bishop Show" 30 minutes.
9:00pm "Kraft Music Hall Presents: The Perry Como Show" 60 minutes.
10:00pm "The Bob Newhart Show" 30 minutes.
10:30pm "David Brinkley's Journal" 30 minutes.

This seems to me to be pretty specific information from a reliable historian, indicating that the Wed night NBC "full color" lineup was not quite as advertised.
