Though I don't have an early color set, I've lately been enjoying the DVD & VHS releases of the Tennessee Ernie Ford show. The estate is selling a bunch of them from 1960-61 on their website and what's nice is that they're complete with the peacock, commercials, slides, etc. I will say the DVDs seem overly compressed, especially the audio, so the VHSs may be a better choice.

And since the videotaped commercials were rolled into the live show, you get a chance to see what an early color-to-color dub looked like., i.e., not so good.

No connection w/Ernie myself, of course.
