So I guess, yeah, since I'm only a year older than you, I was watching The Wonderful World of Disney because this show had some title changes.
But the reason we're talking about this at all, it's because of the advent of color television, which Walt Disney himself really got behind and was like, hey, I want to be the dude that kind of brings this to the masses.
Because just like how you could have TVs but nothing to broadcast, you could have color TVs.
And if you weren't broadcasting in color, what's the point?
And again, this was an issue for RCA.
And by then, of course, they had NBC and NBC was rolling pretty well.
But Walt Disney's anthology series had started years before and it was on ABC.
ABC wasn't broadcasting in color.
So Walt Disney personally held a meeting with NBC and said, we want to do this.
He said that, he said, fellas, I want this deal.
If necessary, I'll stand on my head in Macy's window.
And all the executives said, you don't have to do that.
It's a pretty good idea.
So why are you being weird?
But he was just that enthusiastic about the whole thing.
