Things I love: Batman, Superman, AEW, old films, Lovecraft
Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”
Had no idea there are color episodes of Wagon Train. That said the color Laramie's are a no for me. As an aside there's a thread over at the CBCS forums and someone posted a high grade copy of Rawhide last year. Up until that time I had never seen Rowdy and Gil in color before.
No mention of the Beverly Hillbillies? That was the first show that put any look at opulence on TV and when it went to color it added a layer of both where they came from and the furnishings in the mansion.
Beefing up the old home security, huh?You bet yer ass.
Though I hesitate to use the term "best show", Lost in Space improved with color.
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
I'm ashamed that I never watched one episode of Lost In Space yet. Gotta check to see if it is on any streaming services.
I know the 'Danger Will Robinson!' catchphrase though.
^^^^
The Netflix revival of Lost in Space is really good. I know you mean the OG, just saying, check out the revival show if you have interest in the Robinsons.
On topic I agree with Bewitched and I Dream of Jeanie.
Inverse on Munsters as well.

Agreed although season 7 mostly still has a mostly "earthy" kind of color pallette as they were probably still getting used to it, and the stories in general had a much darker tone than the later third Doctor era.
But the rest of Pertwee's stuff is very colorful. "Carnival of Monsters" from season 10 is probably the most colorful WHO story until Colin Baker's era.
and of course the psychedelic stuff of Claws of Axos (Although still images don't do the trippy visuals justice)

There was a late 80s color remake/reboot (Supposed to be the same family but they were in "coffins" for a decade or so and woke up in the 80s) but I'm not sure if that was well-received.
