My dad from 1954-1956 worked for Motorola as a serviceman for the local Motorola TV dealer in Montgomery, Alabama that was actually at a tire dealer who also sold apllances and tv sets.; i remember going to his boss's house in I believe it was 1955 to watch a special called "Heidi" on one of the Motorola color sets that he had installed at his house. I have often wondered what happened to that set; we moved to Florida in 1956 so since I was only 11 forgot about that until years later. But I remember it was a kind of small screen but delightful for us kids to watch. Also used to go down to the store in the afternoon sometimes to watch Howdy Doody in color. Those were the days!
