My parents didn't get a color TV until after I'd gone away to college. I grew up on B&W.

I didn't know that Oz was in color until I went to college. Didn't I feel like a dork when I was oohing and aahing over the pretty colors, while everyone else thought I was a bumpkin.

Yeah, the first time I saw Oz in color when when I was already grown up. And that's when I FINALLY "got" it when they said "Now that's a horse of a different color!"

hee hee hee. We watched it on tv every year. We got a color tv (and a record player! ) around 1975 I think. I was 5 or 6 then and asked my Mom if she could make it look the right way again. It's still one of my favorite movies of all time. With or without color. I was also the kid who, at 4 1/2, took a screwdriver to the back of the tv and removed the hard cardboard with the tiny breather holes in it so I could see the little people inside. I was caught while putting the last few screws back in. Fortunately, that bit of technology was eventually explained when I watched the Willy Wonka movie.

Oh too funny, the exact same thing happened to me, but in high school.

It wasn't until color TV that I understood the joke about the "horse of a different color."

That´s funny. I didn´t realise that Bagpuss (British childrens´ TV character) was pink until I got to Uni. Do you have Bagpuss in the US?

I did a ski course on the weekend. Our coach said on Saturday "so tonight when you go home and watch the biathlon on TV......" at which point four of us put our hands up to say that we didn´t have television. This was out of a group of seven skiers, so DH and I aren´t the only strange ones.

Haha. When I was a kid I thought the olden days happened in black & white.
