All TV shows have been in color. The world itself was black and white before 1953.

Really makes you appreciate the effort folks went to colorizing all the paintings from the pre-color era.

[–] someone@hexbear.net 1 points 8 months ago

The pigments in the paint all changed to color when the world did.

Color itself was actually invented for the Yu-Gi-Oh anime to sell more trading cards.

"Dad's In Charge" a show about a white male suburban dad and his seething hatred for black people.

Actually, in the Jim Crow era, color TV and white TV were separate.

I don't know what you sick fucks get out of trying to trick me into believing that TV shows are in color. Yeah yeah "color television" was a funny bit the first time around but seriously this joke's been going on for way too long now.

60 minutes of SMPTE color bars (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMPTE_color_bars) with an ASMR voice whispering: "Praise Baphomet."

I didn't look at the link and read the entire sentence. Then I was disappointed the link didn't go to the vid of an ASMR voice whispering: "Praise Baphomet." Drat.

Color TV is a myth, its harmonic induced hypnosis, caused by waves emanating from the 5G tower system across the world, which they've only just recently been forced to admit extist but have been around since the late 40's, are controling our perceptions like in the movie They Live, which as it turns out, was the first film broadcast with this "Color Television" we now know to be a programmed hallucination, the bastards have no shame

That could have been a better movie.

Police Squad!

That's why they made such a big deal about it being in color

the first tv series in color was about jacking off
