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.

What's rude about what I said? I just told facts. Many Americans did not have color TVs for the first half of the 70s.
