Color Television was disappointing when first introduced?

I have read this from several writers here.
I'm thinking that complaints would have been from those who were bothered by the cost.
Perhaps they mean disappointing to the middle and lower class people?
Seems to me that color TV would have been expected to be purchased primarily by wealthy people. I expect that group would have been more than dazzled by even just a few color programs as money would not have been an issue for them. Also, the wealthy love to brag about what they buy all the while pretending not to be doing so and thus, would not have been disappointed at all.

Today poor people all over will beg, borrow and steal to get large screen TV's. I suspect that in the '50's most lower class people had more sense than to sacrifice for such a luxury as color TV, however, they probably resented those who were fortunate enough to own one.
The poor seem to spend much time resenting the rich for this or that. Seems to me that if they would become better educated they might be able to even the score a bit. Perhaps in the world of the future!
That reminds me... I have alot of learn'n to do.
