I was wondering that too. Plus the Barker version premiered in color as The New Price is Right in 1972. It's 2 different shows. Did the older version convert to color before it went off the air?

Nope. The original Price Is Right had two timeslots, one in the daytime, and one in prime time. Daytime was B&W and started in 1956. It started airing additional episodes in prime time in 1957.

Challenge: This question asked people to name a TV show that went from black and white to color, not a delightfully funny Steve Carell movie.

Jboone: Please Don't Eat the Daisies (pilot ep B/W, rest color)
Hogan's Heroes is the same thing. I wasn't sure if the pilot episode aired or not, but according to TVRage it aired as the first episode, Sept 17, 1965. I was concerned because not only is it the only B&W episode, but they made significant changes from the pilot to the regular series.

So when did it switch to color?

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep: Round 3!

It would make sense that a mid-60s prime time show would be in color.

Hmm the primetime one wasn't in black and white before it was in color though.

I'm going to the gym now. If I make a comment in this thread in the next 45 minutes, it means I'm at the computer at the gym. Dock me 100 points if that happens.

Looks like grundlepedia confirms color airings on the NBC version.

It looks like the primetime one started in color, then went to black and white after it moved to ABC. It went the opposite way as was asked in the question.

Not sure. The prime time version ran until 1963 or 1965. It switched to color at some point during that run.

I could only think of 4 answers for this one unless we are counting Love Connection.

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep: Round 3!

I guess it boils down to this:

If the daytime and primetime are counted as one series, it is correct. If they are separate series, then it is incorrect.

No, because it was the same show in two different slots, and didn't begin airing in the prime time slot until a year after it started.

That could be true, I'm not sure. However:

Daytime slot: 1956
Prime time slot: 1957
