Dec. 30, 1953: The First Compatible Color TV Sets Go on Sale for $1,000 (Around $9,500 Today)

quote [ On June 25, 1951, CBS broadcast the very first commercial color TV program. Unfortunately, nearly no one could watch it since most people had only black-and-white televisions. ]

We gotta move these color TV's

We got our first colour t.v. around 72.
A friend of ours (who was pretty much well off) gave about 10 of them to people for Christmas (including us) that year. )
I remember him actually saying he got them when they "fell off the back of the truck" a reference I was too young to get at the time.
I suspect (since he was the owner of a plastic factory) that this was not actually the case but now I'll never know.
