For many of us Boomers this was the first time we viewed color TV. It was most likely in Meier & Franks windows on Morrison because most homes had black & white sets. The first time I saw the color peacock in our home was in the early sixties. We played with the TV ears to get good reception because this was the first time NBC would broadcast Bonanza in living color!!! It was very exciting.
Comcast was going to dump the NBC peacock logo until News anchor Brian Williams had a fit over it. It stays.
To think we did all that with little or no government regulation.

Evidently when I first learned to talk I felt the need to comment on everything (things seem not to have changed)and each and every time they showed the peacock I would point and yell "NBC Peacock!" Probably why my parents switched over to CBS the rest of their lives.
