[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 120432, member: 57984"] GILLIGAN is an interesting case because, like BEWITCHED, it started in 1964. But unlike BEWITCHED, the switch to color for GILLIGAN occurred one year in -- in '65, while BEWITCHED waited until '66. The reason I like S1 of GILLIGAN in B&W is that it has a curiously soothing quality (even the opening song is more gently performed) which gives it, too, a more mystical flavor, even though we'd expect that more from BEWITCHED than GILLIGAN. But GILLIGAN made the transition to color at the right time, in 1965 for its second season. But by BEWITCHED waiting until '66 to do so, the moody B&W is lost for S2, and it looks washed-out and drab somehow ---like it [I][B]wants[/B][/I] to make the switch to color, just as most shows which remained in B&W thru the 65/66 season do. It's really odd. As if organically, these shows didn't want to wait another year and really called out to switch to color in '65. For that reason, colorizing S2 of BEWITCHED is no loss; I'm basically fine with it. Yet colorizing S1 is heresy. [/QUOTE]
