A phrase from the past..

I hadn't heard this in decades, and it was just like a key into the past.:
"and, now in living color........"
Remember when color TV was a big deal.

yes I do... we didn't get colour TV until well into the late 70's.. although my friends at school in the late 60's had it in their homes... my father didn't want to pay for a colour TV Licence which was much more expensive than a black and white one...

I got married in '76.. and we were donated an old B&W tv which only had one working channel.. so it wasn't until late '70's before we could afford to get a colour TV and then it was rented from a TV store , rather than bought by us.. ..but I do remember clearly watching tv those first few weeks feeling like I was in the Cinema because everything was in such vivid colour

Getting colour tv was certainly a red letter day.

I remember when my family got our first color TV. We were so excited to see the introductory scenes of Wonderful World of Disney. It had so much color.

My parents gave in, and finally got a color TV set years after most households had them. I’ll always remember watching shows of the era on my parent’s old black and white set, however, which had a screen small by today’s standards housed in a large wooden piece of furniture…
