Ah man!!

I would love the entire run of the show available in color because I think the ones that are already colorized looked great and it would also be more accessible for Gen X and Z to enjoy!

stevea · 04-01-2026, 09:26 PM

Anything I've seen on Youtube is an improvement over black and white. Even the amateur jobs.

opus · 04-01-2026, 10:00 PM

I was undecided, but Dude convinced me. Color them.

Dude111 · 04-02-2026, 02:10 AM

They look better as they were naturally...

Hazel Anyday · 04-02-2026, 07:55 PM

Let me settle this question once and for all. And as I speak for everyone, the answer is a most resounding YES YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES.

No need to thank me, I have spoken. Now let the colorizing begin, and while you're at it colorize the Honeymooners Classic 39 while you're at it.

opus · 04-02-2026, 08:13 PM

It’s kind of a dumb question though. It’s not like if someone decided to spend the money to do it the original versions would vanish and never be seen again. It’s just another option as a way to watch. Like it, watch it. Don’t like it, don’t watch it.

And if you own the DVDs in B&W it’s not like someone’s gonna rush to your place with a box of Crayolas.

Couldn’t agree more. When an episode gets colorized, it’s like watching a new episode. One episode of Lucy I want to see colorized is the episode Redecorating…just to see how bad that wallpaper looked. Hahahaha!

Nobody's telling you that you have to watch it in color.

opus · 04-02-2026, 09:46 PM

Besides, it was done years ago and the world keeps turning. Somehow I think it would survive a complete series colorization.
