Talk:Sam and Friends

early black and white
It is said here that the earliest episodes were broadcast in black and white, and it later went to color. Do we have a source for this? I've seen an interview with Jim Henson, which can be found at Muppet Central, where Jim Henson said that the show was in color from the beginning. While most episodes that still exist are in black and white, it's possible that black and white film was used to record them (only a few shows were actually recorded, and most of them could have been recorded by placing film in front of a black and white TV, or with black and white film). I would think that if a show from the 1950s was originally in color that somebody invovled with the show would remember, especially if most other shows at the time were in black and white. Then again, Jim Henson could have been mistaking; after all, in the same interview, he says that Kermit first became a frog and had his collar and flippers in The Frog Prince, which we know actually happened earlier. --Minor muppetz 19:35, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
