All in all though, this is still a very good show and does display very well. And it makes me wish I could go back again when TV was good.

This was definitely color video tape. Edited in post production. No telling how many dubs down this peticular version is. CBS was using Skelton's own production co. TK-41 color cameras he leased out.
