I'd love to see this.

It's the only Burns and Allen in color.

It was shot and shown in color on CBS on experimental all-color night on October 4, 1954.

CBS showed a color clip on 75th anniversary in 2002.

S1E6 of Hazel November 2, 1961.
They show one episode in color as a tease.
But Burns and Allen were 7 years before!
