The holiday season became sales pitch for color

I'm 48 years old, and remember tv in the early 1970s. The shows and specials were much better then today. I think having fewer channels was better, as there was more competition among the networks at the time. Also, the shows and specials were more family oriented. Tv viewing was a more intimate thing; most families only had one color tv, so families spent more time together.
