I thought Bonanza was on and in color in the late 50's. It was the first show in living color. I was surprised that it was not on the list.

I wasn't even in the country and I saw 5 of them. Black and white television had only reached Aberdeen for about 2 years and we only had one channel, the BBC. It only ran for about 8 hours a day. We used to gather round the 17" set to watch the westerns, 77 Sunset Strip and Perry Mason.

Greg, wikipedia says Bonanza’s first episode was September 1959.

Perry Mason is on FETV every evening. 4 episodes. Lots better than whatever newer show is on.

My Mom’s addiction rubbed off on me. I’ll be watching!
