Does anyone else see I Love Lucy like this... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

When I watch ILL on TVland, the color appears somewhat in a reddish color/tone. When I watch it on my local channel or on some other network, it is the usual "black and white" as I have always seen it growing up. Does anyone else see this?

Its always looked B&W on my screen.....maybe TVland is broadcasting in colour and what youre seeing is the effects of the years on the film...which will fade and sometimes change colour with exposure to light and air, over time? ( Just a theory )

Hmmmm, interesting thought. For as long as I can remember, when I see it on Tvland, it always has this tone/color to it that is not as I see it on other channels/networks. I pointed this out to my boyfriend so I could be sure of what I was seeing and he too stated he noticed that.

Some stations litterally change their broadcast to B&W when showing old shows, so, thats probably the reason

I've noticed this as well...when I see it on TV Land, the picture appears to have a somewhat reddish tint to it. Mikado's theory seems to make sense though...

So you see it too Bill. That is interesting. I am kinda glad it isn't just me. Yes, I do think Mikado's theory is in fact true. He is a genius I tell ya.
