Does anyone else dislike the colorized episodes?

I’m talking about the first season episodes that were originally filmed in black and white that I think Ted Turner had colorized in the 80s. I would prefer to see them in the original black and white but if they absolutely have to have them in color at least they can redo it with modern equipment. The colorized episodes don’t look anything like the actual originally color filmed episodes.

No one likes black and white. Color rules

The second and third seasons were filmed in color.

The second and third seasons look great because they were originally filmed that way, but the first season was colorized using 80s quality video technology.

I haven't seen them, but saw an I Dream of Jeannie recently that was a first season colorized version, and it wasn't terrible. I don't know when the colorized that show.

I like all three seasons, but season 3 of this show is actually my favorite!

It never bothered me one way or another.. Loved the show and watched it every day after school in the 80's along with "Johnny Quest" and "The MUNSTERS" and "SPEED RACER".. Ahhh, the memories

Back in the 90's when I was a kid I would watch Gilligan's Island and The Flintstones on TNT.

Hmm...sounds racist. Don't like things of color, eh?
