Consumers romance with early color

[bozey45]

I too remember going to a friend's house in the 7th grade in 1957 or 1958 who lived in a waterfront house in St. Petersburg south of downtown. They had a RCA color roundie (probably a CTC-5 or maybe its predecessor). I Remember the safety glass in front of the tube and it was a thrill to see that peacock for the first time in color then a program called Shirley Temple's Storybook and another time over there a Red Skelton program in color on CBS no less. I remember I got real close to the screen the first time I was there staring at the phosphors---my friend thought I was a nut. Those were the days allright. Hi Cbenham, remember me from Big13???
