Been contemplating what to do for post #1000
- here it is -
TV Guide for 26 June 1953

Very cool, thank you.

The color picture is spectacular!!

Pretty nostalgic. Thanks for posting!

Of course, you DO have to pay for the programming somehow...
TV Guide 2 April 1954 - First color commercial (I have not verified this claim, but it makes sense it would be a tobacco company)

...Back to the Future..for real !

Thanks for the scans. I'd love to go back to '53 and interview the art director just to learn what he went through to get those two color screen shots to look that good. They do look to me like C73599 (15GP22) color. There's not a bit of misconvergence visible that I can see. Could have been airbrushed out.

Wayne: I'll bet those are three of the four Colonial theater TK-40's.

For smoking unfiltered Pall Malls, they both have quite a set of pearly whites, don't they?
