Where To Watch
In which season did these classic TV shows pop into color?
Some shows lasted only three seasons while others lasted over 15, but all of these classics featured a season where color replaced black and white.
Some of classic television’s best shows were featured in both black and white and in color, as shows made the switch in the mid-to-late '60s.
The change to color not only gave fans new opportunities to see their favorite characters in a different way, but connect with them in a much more realistic form, too.
