Back to the original topic:
Republic Pictures used to own BONANZA before the Paramount takeover. They pulled the original camera negatives from cold storage and made new print negatives from them. Thats why Bonanza looks so good today. Bonanza was shot on Eastman film, and the processing was done by Consolidated Film Industries (CFI) Some have claimed that it was shot in Technicolor, but it was not. Never.
The show, Walt Disney's Wonderful World Of Color was shot in Technicolor, and thats why they seemed to POP on the screen. I've seen a couple of Technicolor prints of the shows, and they are stunning, after all these years. Eastman stuff before 1983 simply fades to pink over time.
