Yes, I have those same DVD's. Origianlly, they were in B&W. That Zenith in Samantha's living room was a black & white set... not color... yet they colorized the screen. They did a good job when they colorized that season for DVD... but looks like they did the job just a little bit too good!

I laughed when she said she fixed the Zenith with a nail file. Hell... I wish it was that easy!!! It sure did leave the TV repairman with a confused look... considering he was still carrying the horiz. output tube in his hand while the set played perfectly!

The first year, the second year or both? When I got year one I saw color and B&W, and I got the B&W, but when I went to get year two I saw only color ones. But it looks like they have a B&W TV to me in year two as well (I think there are two different ones).

On one of the American Chopper episodes about the beginnings of the Teutul family, some of the old footage of Paul Sr. at his mother's house has what looks like some sort of console model color roundie with legs. It's really hard to tell what brand or model it is. Maybe Paul Sr. will know?

I just Googled the second season DVD to be sure I understood the meaning of your post. How discouraging: the second season of Bewitched was not filmed in color. The DVD release is all artificially colorized material.

The second season is available in the original B&W, I got the colorized version because it can still be viewed in B&W or color if desired.

Did anyone else think the colorizing on the second season was slightly less well done compared to the first?

Yes, the old b&w seasons (1 & 2) have recently been colorized. In those seasons, Sam has a B&W Zenith, but since the show was colorized, they also made her Zenith color... which would be a mistake. In the episode where her father comes to visit for the first time, they show her B&W Zenith apart all over the floor. When it's on again, it's playing color.

Eric, I haven't watched all of them yet, but, I thought the color was okay. Or at least, not bad considering it started out as B&W. I'm sure it must be quite a job to give those shows color. With "old color" episodes, it's just a matter of retouching color... but with black and white, it's like starting from scratch. Can't be an easy job. In any case, I've enjoyed them.

Hope this sort of qualifies as TV on TV. Recently surfed by the film "La Bamba" on TV and hit it just as the Valenzuela family was watching Ritchie, all of them huddled around their Admiral 10" bakelite consolette just like the one I have. It was brief and the set didn't appear again after that.

Not to mention "The Secret Life of Machines - The Television". It has an interview with the curator of the Vintage Wireless Musuem. During the interview, prewar and postwar english sets are shown. It's what first interested me in early and vintage television. I'd love to own that Marconi 707.

On The Six Million Dollar Man, there was a rare Sony LV-1901 console with built-in Betamax in Oscar Goldman's office. And in the episode of The Bionic Woman where the scientist made a weather control machine, there was a whole bank of CTC-46 25" table models.

I think Lucy and Ricky had a Westinghouse 21" blonde console on a few episodes, and other times it was a fake prop TV.

In Happy Days, there was an episode where one of the guys (might have been Potsy?)was trying to pick up girls by telling that he had a TV in his own room... I tried that and it didn't work anymore by the early 80s

In Mr. Ed, there was a 19" Packard-Bell Astronaut that was on a wheeled stand in the barn.

But in all of the cases I tell here, I think just about every show switched TVs periodically. In fact, I remember Oscar Goldman also having a Sony KV-5000 on his desk in some episodes, as well as the LV-1901.

Anyone else ever catch any TV shots on TV while watching older shows? Seems I recall someone mentioning before about a color set on the Beverly Hillbillies in which Granny thought there was water in it because it was on and was showing pictures of the ocean.

Here are the vintage shots of Sam & Darrin's Zenith...

I've seen some episodes of Bewitched with an Admiral 19" metal table model color set; maybe same TV that they used in the Brady Bunch...

Found these Bewitched pics I had posted before the server crash.

Perhaps she has one of those cheesy screens that you place over a b&w tube to give it color!

==Anybody else watch "Crime Story" ? I remember one of the main characters had a blonde roundie that they usually showed being on. Kinda unusual, because it looked like the tv really was functioning, not the usual "cut 'n' paste" fake image job. Looked like it was probly a late '50s RCA-the show was set in 1963. -Sandy G.===

Yeah that was the "Phil Bartoli" character played by Jon Polito, I remember that blonde roundie, once he was watching some horse race and rooting for a nag that he had money riding on! Was a real working set.
