(The 1960's) The Arrival of Color TV

The Johnson living room was buzzing with excitement. Young Tommy was practically bouncing on the couch, while his older sister, Lucy, clapped her hands in glee. Their mother, Mrs. Johnson, had a radiant smile that reached her eyes, reflecting the joy she felt at her family's happiness.

For today was the day: the Johnsons were transitioning from their old black and white set to a brand-new color television.

"Remember when we used to imagine what color Gilligan's shirt was on 'Gilligan's Island'?" Lucy reminisced, nudging Tommy.

He grinned, "Or how we used to guess the color of the sky in 'The Flintstones'!"

Mrs. Johnson chuckled, "And your father and I trying to figure out the exact shade of blue in Perry Mason's eyes."

Janet sat on her old floral couch, a cup of tea in hand, the room illuminated only by the soft glow of the television screen. Every afternoon, she made it a point to watch "The Oprah Winfrey Show." It was her small slice of solace in a world that often felt overwhelming.
