When I posted this, the thought occurred to me that some people might not know who Elvira was too.

TV in the 70s was in color.

Horrible, unforgivable color.

The world was black and white until the 30s. Color was a still lil grainy in places in the 70s.

I will say, the colors chosen for the set do make it look a bit like a colorised photo now. Though it's hard to say how much of that is the original color on set and how much was lost to the camera back then. It was tough to light/balance stuff well back then. Especially if they changed cameras, or if the set was made with a different camera in mind either way.

Behind the scenes footage always looks different back then from what aired. Not just from lack a of post-processing, like it would now, but also a lack of "pre-processing", lol.

I mean, I know what you're talking about but I feel like you assume everybody has the same tastes and preferences as you, which is absolutely not the case. Some of us like short, stocky dudes with incredible facial hair and sexy accents.
