Yes, my parents had the first color set in the neighborhood and for a time neighbors would come by on sunday nights to watch Bonanza and marvel at the sight of blue sky and green grass on a TV screen. We take that for granted now but it seem magical then. But that set was a real pain- it had it had something like 30 tubes and we were lucky to make it two months without it breaking down. In fact I became good friends with the TV repairman and eventually got a summer job working at his shop which was very good training experience. Who would have believed then that one day TV sets would be so thin and light you hang them on the wall like a picture frame.
