I whole heartedly agree with oldtvman. Hey, all big companies have their cross to bear. Moto put out some good B&W products.
I can tell you how so many of these stinkers were sold in the St. Louis area. The discount retailer E.J Korvette (really) had literally a wall full of these things on the second floor at the top of the escalator. On Saturday night when "Flipper" was on, one's senses were overcome with a huge gigantic wall of Moto's with all that blue water. Since there are so many shades of blue water, and not many know the exact shade of a porpoise, a lot of poeple bought these. Oh, and don't forget Lawrence Welk color extravaganzas on Saturday night either.
Oh, the Flipper song included the line "no one you see ... is smarter than he". That's because Flipper never bought a Moto color set. But I'm sure he had the opportunity to see a few in Davey Jone's locker.
