When there was only one color show a day the sales people neglecting to properly adjust a set often was to blame for bad sets on sales floors, but once more than 1 show a day was on the stations were as much to blame...Live, network, tape and film often all looked different and color quality would vary from channel to channel. If sales staff didn't keep sets adjusted from show to show things could go downhill fast.

So true and nothing has really changed in 65 years. Go into a big box store and you see an array of misadjusted color sets.
