The first "Get Smart" was B/W, as was the first "Hogan's Heroes." The rest of both of these series was, of course, color. 1965 seems to be when many shows made the big switch to color. The Wild Wild West on CBS started in 1964, and went color in 1965, as did Petticoat Junction, and The Beverly Hillbillies, and Bewitched, to name a few.

Our local TV station played B/W copies of the "pre-'48" Warner Bros. cartoons up to 1972. My mom would tell me that these films were made in color. but in my 15 year old mind, What did she know? Finally got to see all of these films in color in my first TV job in 1976.

The old "Hazel" series on NBC was in B/W for its entire first season, 1961, except for show #6, a show where Hazel buys herself a new color TV to replace a beautiful little RCA clone. Her employers also buy a new color set to replace their Zenith B/W. It was an RCA color 21" much like my CTC-10. The rest of the first season, up to show 35, or 36, I cant remember, was B/W.
