I agree a color Twilight Zone in the 60s would have seemed strange. For TDVDS, Carl Reiner said, “During the course of the show, it was suggested that we do it in color, and they said it would cost $6,000 an episode, and my partners said, “Well, there goes our profit.” So we decided to leave it in black and white. It really lends itself to color.”Rose Marie felt the show had more life in it and wanted to go on. And it would have had to transition to color for a sixth season, since all US primetime shows were in color by fall of 1966. I’m glad they didn’t; I agree with the Andy Griffith analogy.</blockquote>
