Right on holmesuser. Here's the offical storyline:
First aired: 11/2/61
George and Dorothy's nightly television viewing has been getting interupted by Hazel who's excuse is that her television set in her room is broken. This leads to George taking her down to the store to by her one, which is where she decides to get a color TV and quickly becomes the talk of the
town.
Here's a later 1964 "Hazel" RCA Color ad with Shirley Booth & Don DeFore:
