So, if we could have only two episodes colorized which two would you like to see? I'd like to see "Catch A Star" and "Young At Heart" since those are two of my all time favorite episodes.
I love black and white but just for fun those are the ones I'd pick.

I've always been against the colorization of stuff like this, but recently I got a chance to see some Three Stooges and Laurel & Hardy shorts in color, and they were actually pretty good. That got me thinking about what they could do with the Classic 39. Picking two episodes is a tough choice, but I think I'd definitely have to go with "The Sleepwalker," and probably "Better Living Through TV," I've always wanted to see what the Norton's apartment looked like in color...especially the bedroom.

Yeah it would be kind of cool to see what Norton's apartment looked like.

Let me add: If I wanted The Honeymooners in color, I'd see The Color Honeymooners. The different Alice and Trixie notwithstanding.

I agree with your statement. I don't like when they do that to old movies.

Agreed, WB. I think the black and white gives the 50s episodes some of that long ago, world gone away quality. (Apologies to Chicago.)

BTW, I'm surprised no one mentioned that back in the 80s on a Lost Episodes special, a colorized version of Glow Worm Cleaning was shown. This was back in the early stages of colorization, but I think the results were disappointing enough to leave it at one segment.

There was a misunderstanding on what this question was about; I don't want any episodes to actually be colorized either.. as I said in my original post "I love black and white" hell, I wish shows today were in black and white BUT if you could pick an episode or two that maybe you've always thought "I wonder what color that was".. which ones would they be?

I picked

Catch A Star; because I've always kind of wondered what color the hotel lobby was.

Young At Heart; for the roller skating rink and the clothing.

I would pick "'Twas The Night Before Christmas". It would be nice to see how colorful the Kramden's apartment looked during the holidays.
