I can guarantee that Superman, the TV series, was not shot in Technicolor.

I've been curious as to what color processes were used on some of these early shows. Screen Gems shows usually credit Pathe (Eastman). Universal is the only studio (to my knowledge) to employ Technicolor. Who did the color on, say, "The Lucy Show"? The restored DVDs look superb. How about "The Joey Bishop Show"? I saw a DVD of this and the color was not the greatest. Early shows like "Superman", "The Cisco Kid" and "Science Fiction Theater" were not really high-budget productions. Could they have utilized Cinecolor? By the late forties it was a three-color process. Or Republic's similar Trucolor? Were there any other lower-budget color processes available then?
