The control layout and knobs on that set also suggest Magnavox, early 1960s vintage. But a color picture on a b&w TV? This was several decades before TBS, WTBS, and Ted Turner's short-lived experiment with colorizing b&w TV shows, so a colorized program on that Magnavox is out of the question as well.

I wouldn't be surprised if the set being discussed here was in fact a 24" b&w console TV. There were 23" and 25" sets already, so Magnavox may well have stepped in and introduced a 24-inch set to fill in the gap.
