And the first one was an adventure in color.

And it really was a bit of an adventure.

Like, it was a bunch of little segments that really kind of showed off what you can do with color TV and just must have knocked the socks off, knocked the coonskin caps off of all the little kids sitting at home.

That's right.

Uh, and it also featured something called the spectrum song, which kind of explained what was going on.

Cause I guess they felt the need to explain color to people who had gone around their entire lives, seeing real life in color.

Uh, but I guess, like you said, it was a pretty whiz bang thing to see the thing to see it on your TV for the first time.

So they went to great lengths to probably over explain that.

Uh, and this is also when we got the debut of, uh,

Professor Ludwig von Drake from the Disney duck world.

Yeah, he was an eccentric inventor.

His self-written bio was, he's an eminent psychologist, renowned color expert, etymologist, the most sought after lecturer in the world.

He is undoubtedly the outstanding genius of the century.

So he was fairly egotistical, but he was also funny.

And he became beloved.

And this is where he came from, that first adventure in color half.

And then the second half was a theatrical release featuring Donald Duck.

Because all of these Disney cartoons that we just take for granted today, you used to have to go to the theater to see them.

But when you went to the theater to see them, they were in color.

You saw them on TV, they were in black and white.
