I only remember it on Sunday myself, when I was old enough to know that I preferred Virginia Gibson to Bill Owen.Mitchell Hadleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08695771505209080030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-25648105453718720672017-10-06T16:25:25.251-04:002017-10-06T16:25:25.251-04:00Yes!

The World Series was scheduled to be shown in color, but other TV Guides from 1962 show that the Saturday Game of the Week was in B&W, so it depends on how NBC chose to treat these games. They could have gone in color assuming that the Dodgers were going to win, because the first game of the Series would be in LA anyway, but would they have made the investment knowing that they'd have to make other arrangements if San Francisco wins? It could very well have been in color - I just didn't have enough evidence either way to make a call. If anyone knows, I'd be grateful to update it.Mitchell Hadleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08695771505209080030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-61142899805461375102017-10-04T00:01:34.826-04:002017-10-04T00:01:34.826-04:00And Discovery '62 (its first season) was on du...And Discovery '62 (its first season) was on during the week, between American Bandstand and American Newsstand. I never heard of American Newsstand until I saw a 1961 ABC News promo on YouTube. The slogan was "News for young people, by young people." I wonder when Discovery switched to Sundays, probably around the time Bandstand switched to Saturdays.timdub70https://www.blogger.com/profile/09891461198896930029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042603612494762084.post-57816131260697421252017-10-03T17:48:06.743-04:002017-10-03T17:48:06.743-04:00Wouldn't the baseball game have been broadcast...Wouldn't the baseball game have been broadcast in color?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
