Next to 1981’s “Going to the Movies”, this is my favorite S & E special! They really trashed Ted Turner and all the other people involved in colorization with a lot of passion. I agree with every word they said, especially when they called it “vandalism”! Thank goodness it proved to be hugely unpopular, and I think S & E should be partly credited for that!
Shortly after this broadcast, people suddenly lost interest in colorization and now Ted Turner has founded Turner Classic Movies, which preserves movies the way they’re intended to be seen.
