Steve,

You are correct. The Jetsons was ABC-TV's first color series airing September 23, 1962. The Flintstones first color episode aired several days later on Sept. 28, 1962. The Flintstones had been telecast in B&W on ABC since 1960 even though it had been filmed in color. ABC did not have color film facilities until 1962.
