Color Television

Color television. I didn't experience this until my folks bought one in the early 1970's. It seemed that everyone else had one but us. Probably what some of the kids today thought about HDTV's. Anyway, I was thinking about all of this stuff recently, and doing a little research on the nerdy technical difficulties posed by bandwidth limitations during the early days of television, and how color was introduced, when I discovered this gem: One of the first, if not the first ever color broadcast TV specials recorded on color video tape.
