Tonight, I watched a colorized version of the I Love Lucy Christmas Special and just wasn't distracted by the color version at all. But, in a discussion about it, the note came up by my buddy Joseph that the advertisement said it was colorized for kids of all ages.
Huh? I grew up on both color and black-and-white TV. Great characters with personality, great stories, fun entertainment: those are the things that are needed. Not color. Kids can enjoy color TV or black-and-white TV. If it's good TV, they'll like it.
Now, I am reminded about a comic strip I did a LONG Time ago, posted here. The joke is that it is said that dogs are color blind. And, it is biographical: I remember watching a show with a friend of mine as a kid and she asked, "Is there a problem with your TV?"
