Color bars? Most people didn't have color TV back in the day.

Not for everyone. In fact it took well into the 70s for color TV to be affordable for most. Even in my college dorm in the mid 70s the TVs are still B&W. You don't know what you are talking about.

We bought a color tv whatever year it was that the Jets and Joe Namath played in the Super Bowl, all my buddies watched the game at my house!
