Broadcasting in color began in 1951, however color televisions needed to be purchased.
Color TVs did not begin to take hold until the 1960s.
Black & white is actually grey.
It would be nice to see the "I Love Lucy" show remastered in color. Bright, vibrant red hair & piercing blue eyes on Lucille Ball would be enjoyable to watch in that series.

BWRocks - Are you saying Season #1 of "I Love Lucy" is in color on Blu-Ray?
shareColorization ruins the charm of the original. besides, when things are colorized, they LOOK really saturated. Have you seen the first season of Gilligan's Island colorized? It looked godawful. And sure, I bought colorized Laurel and Hardy shorts, mainly because I'm a huge fan of theirs and I bought all their films, but the LOOK was just off.
What's next, are they going to colorize The Twilight Zone?
I understand your concern with colorizing black & white films. If not done correctly, films can have an over-saturated appearance. Most films/ series should be left in black & white.
I just thought it would be nice to see some episodes of "I Love Lucy" in color.
That's as dumb as colorizing the first 30 minutes of Wizard of Oz.
shareI'm not sure if you're joking, but just in case you're not, the Wizard of Oz was never colorized, which is a process where color is added to a black and white movie frame-by-frame after the fact. The Wizard of Oz was intentionally filmed from the beginning partly in color and partly in black and white to show the stark contrast between Dorothy's drab, colorless Kansas life and the incredible beauty of Oz. That's why it reverts to black and white at the end when she wakes up back in her dull, drab Kansas existence.
shareThat's what HiFiAudioGuy meant.
