Your Favorite 60s Sitcom That Was Both in B&W and Color - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Which is your favorite sixties sitcom that started off in black and white and then mid-run switched to color?

(I’m not counting Get Smart or Hogan’s Heroes which both featured their debut episode in black and white and the rest of their series in color)

The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet (13 Seasons in B&W, 1 Season in Color)*
The Andy Griffith Show (5 Seasons in B&W, 3 Seasons in color)
The Beverly Hillbillies (3 Seasons in B&W, 6 Seasons in color)
Bewitched (2 Seasons in B&W, 6 Seasons in color)
F Troop (1 Season in B&W, 1 Season in color)
Gilligan’s Island (1 Season in B&W, 2 Seasons in color)
Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. (1 Season in B&W, 4 Seasons in color)
Hazel (1 Season in B&W, 4 Seasons in color)
I Dream of Jeannie (1 Season in B&W, 4 Seasons in color)
The Joey Bishop Show (2 Seasons in B&W, 2 Seasons in color)**
The Lucy Show (1 Season in B&W, 5 Seasons in color)
My Favorite Martian (2 Seasons in B&W, 1 Season in color)
My Three Sons (5 Seasons in B&W, 7 Seasons in color)
Petticoat Junction (2 Seasons in B&W, 5 Seasons in color)

*Even though The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet is technically a '50s show, I count it because the change to color occurred in the '60s.

**“The Joey Bishop Show” had a different story. It started off in black and white, switched to color for its second season. Stayed in color for its third season and went back to black and white for its fourth season.

Every one of them, the black and white episodes are far superior.

THE LUCY SHOW was filmed in color from the start, but was shown in black-and-white for the first season because most of the CBS affiliates weren't able to broadcast color shows.

I thought the first three seasons were broadcast in black and white but seasons two and three were really shot in color. The DVDs have the first season in black and white and the rest in color.

The thread does say sitcoms. "Superman" and "Perry Mason" are both dramas, and in the 1960s.

pkripper001 · 05-26-2016, 10:57 AM

I agree that ''Perry Mason'' was a drama,
except the 1 time time the lady said,I don't know,I don't know.That was funny.

I am to blame too about ''Superman''.
I included it because it was based on a comic book and by the second-season,
most of the villains became comic bunglers and it also had humorous stories
