I really don't remember the program, but a CT-100 was set up in the lobby of a local theater, and people were invited to see some "first". It may have been the first color broadcast from the local station*, or just the first public showing of the color TV in the town. Whatever the occasion, it was a big deal, the lobby was very crowded, and cake and coffee/punch were served. The program was a dramatic presentation, not much interest to a kid, but the program was color (more or less).
After that, my first regular color viewing was in the mid 60s, when a bunch of the neighborhood kids would gather to watch Star Trek on the one set in the neighborhood (21" roundie Admiral). My wife and I still have fond memories of those early viewings.  jr *Aug 11, 1954 Last edited by jr_tech; 11-22-2010 at 09:12 PM. Reason: found the date

Think my first was seeing cartoons in color on a color TV displayed at the electronics dept of the local "Two Guys" store in Hackensack NJ. This back around 1964. Two Guys was a chain operated by Vornado, who has since got out of the store business and concentrated in being a retail mall landlord. I thought the color of the cartoons was overdone, and they looked better in B&W.
