Yes, I remember seeing the colorized episode in the 1980s. As I remember, computer colorization was in its infancy at he time and the colorized "Glow Worm Cleaning" didn't look very good. The facial colors looked fake and whenever there was fast motion the color couldn't keep up with the object so you'd see a trail of color following what moved.

It was aired in the first of a handful of two-hour retrospectives of "Lost Episodes" highlights on which Mr. Gleason, Mr. Carney, Ms. Meadows and Ms. Randolph were each introducing the different segments. This special first aired in 1985. (The second was a holiday-themed special, with the Christmas and New Year's episodes which aired towards the end of 1953.)

No, "Glow Worm Cleaning" was the only episode colorized - thank G-d.

If you're talkin' 'bout the colourisation - yeah.
