Color TV in the movies

Wasn't there a Jerry Lewis movie where he worked in a tv repair shop?

That would be "It'$ Only Money" from 1962. Great scene early on where he is trying to install the biggest VHF antenna, Channel Master made on a house.

In his movie "Who's Minding the Store?" (1963) he works in a department store and goes into the TV section and all the TVs are Channel Master, at least the banner above them stated they were. As seen in other movies, all the TVs were mis-tuned...

I recorded a small portion of "Hook, Line & Stinker" once just to catch a scene where Jerry is watching a color TV. I only saw the back and couldn't tell for sure what it was, besides being a higher line console.

When was the last time anyone spotted a Channel Master TV set? Were they all imports?
