Wizard Of Oz on METV 7PM Pacific. Set your DVR’s, then watch on your vintage roundy color TV’s.

That scene where the witch is looking into a crystal ball, do you think that was just a round screen CRT? Sure looked like it to me!

Film made in 1939. No color CRTs available, plus the Technicolor camera was far too insensitive to capture a CRT picture (about ISO 5).
