Forgive me if this has already been asked and answered, but was the first season, broadcast in B&W, actually filmed in color? I seem to remember having seen an episode from 1964 online in color. Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure the first two seasons were film in B&W. Columbia Pictures Television (CPT Holdings) colorized the first two seasons in 1995 for syndication (as well as the first season of I Dream Of Jeannie). I've only ever saw the first two seasons broadcast in color.

Season 1 & 2 were shot in black and white. The series went to color on the third season.

Welcome to the boards!

The first two seasons were originally shot in B&W, then colorized years later.
