About color TV:
In 1965 CBS had "Lassie" in color, and ABC had "The Flintstones" and "The Jetsons". NBC was ahead in prime-time color programing but not alone.
CBS was an important innovator in color TV since the 'forties.
First commercial color TV broadcast in the USA: June 25, 1951 on CBS.
Re: GEMSMFAN's comment.
A similar thing happened in the UK in 1950s/1960s, not many music TV appearances have survived in their original form. One of the problems in the UK was to do with unions 'protecting the musicians interests', so regardless of whether the artists disagreed with the arrangement the unions had with the TV companies, the band's performances often got wiped after broadcast.

Originally broacasted over the U.S. NBC-TV network nationwide.
NBC was the innovator on the latest technology, so in 1965, while the other 2 major networks were still broadcasting in black & white, they had color and this show was in color. Unfortunately, NBC whenever destroyed most of the original color tapes. What these DVD's and VHS tapes contain are black & white kinescopes. At the time, many programs were "live" or taped and shown once and unless there was some intent of repeating them, they were destroyed.
Music programs especially, since they weren't considered important and worth archiving.
