I Agree!

Actually, "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer" was originally telecast in color on NBC during the 1964 Christmas season. It did not move to CBS until years later.

My favorite Christmas season color special was the "Red Skelton Christmas Special". It was broadcast in color on CBS during the 1963 Christmas season, 2 years before CBS started colorcasting regular television shows. It was a rerun from the 1950s' when CBS recorded the Red Skelton Show in color. By 1960, CBS had all but abandoned color programming except for an occasional color special, ie., The Wizard of Oz, etc.
