What happened to the colorized episodes of Gilligan's Island? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I remember years ago on TBS they had the ENTIRE FIRST SEASON in color because they had colorized the episodes!!!

It was great to see and where can we see them now?

THEY MUST RELEASE THE COLORIZED EPISODES ON DVD!!

I know TBS has the rights but they obviously can give permission or sell the rights of whatever.

How do you guys think we can see those first season colorized episodes again?

Thanks

well, personally...i don't care for the colorized versions. the color wasn't really the greatest, and i just have some thing about keeping everything original. i don't mind watching in black and white. according to what i've read, the dvd will have the original black and white episodes and not colorized versions.

I THINK THE B+W WHITE EPS LOOK SCARY IN COLOR.

I agree with the previous two posters. I'm very glad the DVDs will be in original black and white.

Colorization is never a good thing. Would it have been nice if Season One had been filmed in color? Sure, but it wasn't. The B&W presentation was good enough for the first 30 or so years that it was syndicated, so why change it now?
