While I agree it’s cool, it still doesn’t look like true color.If you have a chance, take a look at the Joey Bishop Show episodes from 1961-62 that were filmed in color (most of the season was in B&W but they did a handful of color episodes that year). Like TDVDS, it was also coproduced by Danny Thomas’ production company and the color is very subtle and looks very good. Don’t look at the other color seasons of that show; the prints are over 30 years old and the color is faded and awful.Those shows that converted to color often did later in their runs, when they were running out of gas or had personnel changes. The act of switching to color didn’t lower the script quality (Petticoat Junction, Bewitched) , cause actors to leave the show (Don Knotts on the Andy Griffith Show) or producers to depart (Alan Armer on The Fugitive). Had TDVDS been filmed in color from the beginning, it wouldn’t have lessened the quality of the show.</blockquote>
