You may be right but I grew up in the 50's and 60's and I hated B&W
television. We didn't get out first color TV until 1969 or 1970 and I hate
B&W (except in cases like the recent move "Good Night and Good Luck" with
was shot in B&W for artistic reasons).
Back to WWW, the first season was very well produced and the cinematography
was great. The lighting was also great (if not excessive) for B&W.
Season 1 would be an excellent candidate for colorization.
The new digital colorizing is amazing, although it's too late at this point.
The colorized episodes of season 1 and 2 of Bewitched look better than
season 3, which was filmed in color.
The new colorized version of "Miracle on 34th St" also looks fabulous (not
the 80's version done by Ted turner's company).
