My first view of color tv was the first Motorola set in 1955. My dad worked for Motorola as service tech and installed sets in Montgomery, Alabama. His boss received the first Motorola color set for a demo; the guy took it to his home first and invited the employees to come over for a viewing one evening; I'll never forget it was the presentation of "Heidi"; most of the commercials were in color as I remember, one of the car manufacturers was a big sponsor. As a 9 or 10 year old I remember the color as being great, what a change from dull b&w like most everything else was. Also went to their shop some afternoons where my dad let my brother and I watch Howdy Doody in color, what a treat that was. All this fostered my early interest in this stuff.
