Question about Hullabaloo
Hi all. Have downloaded some colour clips of Hullabaloo recently and I notice the colour has a certain early colour look to it in some way particularly on the skin tones, hard to describe but for those whom have the episodes on DVD will know what I mean. Anyways I was wondering the cameras used for this show, were they the very early made TK-40/41 cameras or were they not adjusted up to best standards like the ones on the Andy Williams Show were?
Cheers Troy

Don't have either of these, and don't know the answer to your question, but if you could capture and post some stills from both I'd be interested to see the difference.

Seems like I remember "Hullaballoo" being in B&W...But it's been so long ago...we may not even have had a color TV then...IIRC, it was "live action" & the pictures had a lot of noise & distortion-similar to the telepictures of JFK's assasination/funeral.-Sandy G.

I'm with Sandy G. on this... without looking anything up, I recall watching it in B&W in '65 or possibly Fall '64 -- although was living near work w/o my CTC-10 so that could account for the colorless memory.

From the IMDB:
"Trivia: While the series was in color during its original run, only a few episodes have survived in color. All the rest of the episodes have survived on black and white "kinescopes" (TV images recorded on film). This is because NBC destroyed the tapes in the 1970s once Smith-Hemion Productions turned down the offer to take them into their possession." Once again the short sighted Network erased the tapes

The color episodes that survive on tape were ones that were saved for the celebrity hosts. Jerry Lewis, Michael Landon, etc. Everything else was dumped.

I haven't heard of many TV shows like this being colorized, only old movies (and I believe there was a discussion and pix here of some colorized "Bewitched" episodes).

Eric is correct, the show aired in color but most of the
tapes were thrown away. I have the shows on VHS, Laserdisc and DVD and the color quality of the laserdisc and VHS is far superior to the DVD release with the Laserdisc being the best. The DVDs have a pale low saturation color compared to the rich & vibrant Laserdisc. It looks like the compression on the DVD's was done carelessly resulting in the low saturation and severe motion artifacts.
