Lassie in color

A four episode Lassie called "The Journey" was telecast in color by CBS starting Feb. 17, 1963. I recall the first episode on the 17th was followed that same evening by the CBS color telecast "A Tour of London with Elizabeth Taylor". This was CBS's cautious re-entry into color broadcasting after several dormant years. The Lassie color episodes aired opposite NBC's "Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color".

Several versions of the CBS "bloodshot eye" can be seen on my site.
