	There's no way Howdy Doody should be on this list. I'm a child of the 50s and that show was canceled in 1960 before I became aware of TV. I think it was brought back about a decade later or two later, but not with Clarabelle.

	Adventures of Superman and Daniel Boon really shouldn't be on here either. Even though they both began airing when TV was only in b&w, the producers had the foresight to know that someday TV would broadcast in color, and therefore filmed the series in color. They didn't make the transition from B&W to color. TV did.

	@rockgolf - Sorry, but seasons one and two were shot in b&w. Seasons three - six were shot in colour and telecast monochromatically. I was pretty sure that it began being filmed in b&w because I remember a scene in Hollywoodland showing Ben Affleck as George Reeves in a grey Superman costume.

	Enjoyed the quiz, but my score was probably hampered by how late my parents got a colour TV. For my childhood, everything was in b&w.

	There were no episodes of the Flintstones in b&w. They did appear in a couple of b&w commercials for Winston cigarettes though

	rockgolf is right about Howdy Doody. The original show was shot entirely in black and white. The New Howdy Doody show, which was broadcast in 1976, was in color.

	there should be an asterisk for shows like Hogans Heroes, where the PILOT was in b&w, but the SERIES was in color....

	Chocolatl:	May 21st, 2010 at 23:11 GMT	1 point
	Interestingly enough, the pilot of the Munsters was in color, but the series was in black and white.

	The last episode of Howdy Doody in 1960 was in color with Clarabell. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p68gWKNers or just go to YouTube and search for Howdy Doody last episode. Great memories. Clarabell talks!

	Ernie was not in the black and white My Three Sons. After the last b&w season, the oldest son (Mike) got married and left the show. The start of the next year had them adopting Ernie.

	googlebird:	May 22nd, 2010 at 14:19 GMT	1 point
	@cocky - According to IMDB and other sites, Ernie joined the cast in 1963 and the show aired in color starting in 1965. @rockgolf and @gandalf - IMBD says the first 2 seasons of The Flintstones originally aired in black and white, although it was produced in color. The same for Superman and Daniel Boone. I tried to avoid the confusion by putting "TV shows that originally aired in Black and White" in the notes. Thanks for all of the comments.

	Chocolatl:	May 23rd, 2010 at 15:13 GMT	2 points
	I stand corrected on Howdy Doody. Imdb has it wrong, then.

	Similar note for @exapno comment, Get Smart's pilot was B&W but the whole series was in color.

	googlebird:	May 27th, 2010 at 01:36 GMT	1 point
	I've included a note for the black and white pilot episodes. Thanks.

	No Doctor Who ? (of course, finding characters would be hard for that one...Daleks, Cybermen?)
