Were these shows more in black and white… or color?

Some shows made the switch toward the end while others only aired the first season in black and white.

 

If there was a show that started in the early sixties and continued airing past 1965, there’s a good chance it switched from black and white to color. Of course, some early shows were ahead of the curve (shout out to Bonanza) and some never made the switch. But for most shows, color was too good an advancement to pass up.

Try to guess if these shows aired more seasons in black and white or color. Be careful, some might have the exact same number of each!

I'm thinking Gunsmoke had more color episodes. After all, IT WENT FOR TWENTY YEARS!

When I first saw those shows they were ALL in black and white. I don't think we got our first color set until around 1970!

Interesting thought. Are B&W tvs even made anymore? Or have they gone the way of the slide rule - found only in yard sales, pawn shops, flea markets, antique stores and Etsy?

B&W TVs are living with 8 track players and buggy whips.

Let's not forget butter churns, manual typewriter, rotary phones and ice boxes.

I missed that F-Troop had the same number of seasons in b/w as color. Only one I missed! MeTV should put that in their line up. So funny!
