If you can remember watching a black and white television

[the other mike]

Then you're getting old like me.
Did you ever wonder why nobody ever said "white and black" ?
Feel free to share any favorite white and black shows, films, commercials or images from the pre-color days.

It was not until the mid-1960s that color sets started selling in large numbers, due in part to the color transition of 1965 in which it was announced that over half of all network prime-time programming would be broadcast in color that autumn. The first all-color prime-time season came just one year later.

(The first color sets were expensive so most people still had black and white ones into the 70's.)
