Here is one of the earliest surviving CBS color video tape broadcasts of the Red Skelton Christmas Show from 1962. I will let the experts critique it but one thing I noticed is the set designers apparently were not prepared for a color broadcast since they did not go out of their way to use any eye popping color in the sets or costumes in the first half of the program. Even one of the title cards promoting the Red Skelton Show was in Black and White.
One question I do have in the early and infrequent color broadcasts int the 50's and early 60's did they even announce the following program is in color? Or did they flash the blood shot eye logo?
