In the first days of color TV, some shows were broadcast in color, while others were not. My grandparents were the only people I knew that had a color TV at the time, so it was quite a novelty for me and rather alien. When a show would be broadcast on their TV in b/w, I would tell my grandfather something was wrong. (After all, a color TV should display color at all times.) My grandfather told me each time that the set had run out of color and he would have to refill the bottles. I guess I believed that until I was nine or ten years old!
