Brainyblonde

The first commercial television program on color film was an episode of Dragnet that aired in December, 1953. It was followed by such milestones as a live telecast of the Tournament of Roses parade the following month, the first color broadcast of a president (Dwight Eisenhower in June, 1955), the first color coverage of the World Series (Dodgers vs. Yankees in September, 1955), and the first colorcast cartoons (the Flintstones and the Jetsons in fall, 1962). http://www.princetoninfo.com/200111/11114c01.html Sep 13 06, 10:13 AM

There is no name for the show. CBS broadcasts the first color program on June 21, 1951 but only 25 receivers can accommodate mechanical color. Viewers of 12 million existing b&w sets see only a blank screen. http://www.lilesnet.com/paul/50/TV_Radio/default.html Sep 13 06, 11:06 AM
