When I was a kid (and shopping with my mom in a department store) I'd watch anything in color. Steve D. and I have talked about this many times. NBC usually had an all color afternoon; Tom Fransden (sp?) and Jack Latham with the news. These were just "heads" on the screen against a blue background but I would watch mouth a-gog. And when that "Oscar Meyer" commercial came on in color it was pretty great. Weird that advertisers were slooooow to catch on to filming in color. I think the Hawaiian Punch/Oscar Meyer commercials were IT for color in the early '60's!
