Shows like All in the Family were shot on tape using not so great tube cameras and early VTRs.

I have noticed that All In The Family, Sanford & Son, Maude, etc from that era all have pale color. I thought is was just because these shows are so old now the master recordings were worn out but I guess it was the video tape. Cheers and Taxi which were shot with film still look great and of course the '60s Classic shows still look good.
