early color and HD startups
There's another parallel between early color and HDTV. Don't recall exactly in the early '60's when the Tonight Show went color, but last Monday Letterman went true HD (1920 x 1080i). Probably there were not many viewers for either advanced-format startup; he joked that eight or so were seeing him in HD. His show has been taped in HD for about two years, but not broadcast that way till now... maybe they wanted a backlog of shows to rebroadcast? The only advantage to HD were some jaw-dropping outdoor shots of Broadway, IMO.
