Many of today's shows are dark looking and do not catch the eye. Many of the 60s shows use almost cartoonish color, to show off your new color set, and it is a pleasant effect. I haven't watched much of Bonanza but it helped sell a lot of color sets, I think. RCA used it a lot in advertising and I saw an old home movie, taken by a distant relative in the early 60s, showing off their color set. The show they picked to show snippets of were Bonanza, Disney & the Tonight show. Color was a big deal! Today I get the feeling that some tv producers just don't give a hoot. There are exceptions, though off hand I have trouble coming up with one! Well, there is that weird kids show on CBS Saturday morning...
