Digital networks airing colorized shows

I'm curious how the B&W Bewitched and I Dream of Jeanie look colorized. I'll probably make the effort to check it out. Now one thing I don't want anyone to colorize is the Twilight Zone. That would be an act of war.
The "Bewitched" colorizations are not good, they looked like I'd jacked up the color settings on my TV to 100. Its most obvious in facial closeups, where the skin tones are too peachy or even shades of orange. Plus Darren's hair is this weird gray/black shade. Crazy thing is YouTube has plenty of much better colorization, wonder where Antenna TV got its prints.
 
Found an even worse colorization than "Bewitched"--the "Gilligans Island" ones shown on Catchy. Apparently this process can't show a dark color, only pastels. The water in the lagoon shows up gray!
 
FYI: Just because it's in black & white, doesn't necessarily mean it's faithful to the original show. AI "enhancement" has ruined "I Love Lucy":
