Catchy TV was playing a marathon this weekend. Wow, they has aged even worse

FORENSIC FILES:
I watched a few eps of this aged crime documentary.

It might be that ABC didn't want to pay extra for color, which would
have been pretty stupid of them, especially when color cost the
networks a mere $600 per hour back then ... but early ABC was a
notoriously tightfisted operation. CBS dragged its feet on color for
several years because William Paley's color system was incompatible
with existing b&w sets, and the FCC had gone with David Sarnoff's fully
compatible system. Those color-free years cost syndicators tens of
millions in lost sales.

Years later, we lucked out, 'cuz the color prints they made in that era
faded within a few years, whereas black and white prints were pristine.

I remember faded color in second run syndication when I was a kid. I
don't know why the color was so unstable at the time.

Yeah, the number I’ve heard that CBS refused to pony up to get lost in
space and color was 400 bucks an episode. That’s why Irwin paid for the
color film to shoot the special effects work personally.

I’m still not sure what Disney’s excuse was with Zorro.

Oh, and on Monday I watched Michael Shanks' "video diary" disc extra in
which he "interviewed" Anna-Louise Plowman. In that she turned her back
on the camera for a moment and turned around to show him one of the fake
