Glad you all like the pictures. Anyone can do anything they wish with them. Aussie, your color corrections are great, thank you!

As to what the show was, I can't remember other than it was in the late weekday morning on NBC.

As to what happened to our old 21" Silvertone, well, this was the best color TV we ever had. My parents bought it for Christmas in 1963 from Sears, who said back then, it was really made by RCA. (Not sure if that was true or not but it had the same controls as an RCA). At any rate, the set was delivered on a Monday and the first color show I saw on it was the quiz show, 'You Don't Say' at 3:30 EST. Later that night, I watched 'Wagon Train' in color on ABC, then 'Sing Along With Mitch' and the Tonight Show both in color on NBC. A technician came the following day to "set-up" the set, - align the guns and adjust the purity etc. The set had the best color I had ever seen and even outdid and outlasted a 1967 Zenith 19" square tube set we bought in 1967. Sadly to say that in 1997, with the set still running great, it was carted off to the junk man since we had a newer 25" color set. I know, what a waste since the set still worked great. If I knen then what I know now!
