When my family watched the show, our television set was a black and white one. I remember us sitting there, watching the introduction fireworks in black and white, thinking .... oh, how wonderful it would be to have a color television, so we could see the fireworks in color. (We said the same thing during the Disnet intro.)

It's funny that you should mention that ikitnrev, I was just having this conversation with my girlfriend not that long ago. I'm almost 40, my family didn't have it's first color TV until around 1978. My girlfriend, who is just a few years over 30 could not for a moment fathom that concept. I had to explain to her that even though color TVs did exist it wasn't that uncommon to have a black and white set in the 70s. As a kid, I didn't know any better so it never bothered me, and yeah I was also watching 'The Wonderful World of Disney' every Sunday night (after 'Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom') in glorious BLACK & WHITE.
