If memory serves, Days Of Our Lives on NBC was
in color from day one in 1965, although it's not
shown here. I also believe CBS's Wild Wild West,
Hogan's Heroes, and Gomer Pyle were in color.

The Smothers Brothers Show is the sitcom where
Tommy played an angel. A few years ago I saw that
show again on Nick at Nite. While the brothers'
bickering is about as funny as usual, the rest of
the show is not that great. Obviously, they were
showcased to better advantage on their classic
Sunday-night show (1967-69).

I've heard rumors that Honey West might be turned
into a movie. Anyone know anything about this?
 
Color TV: June 1966 (Was: Re: Retro: Atlanta Friday, July 1, 1966)

I believe that the only daytime program on NBC still in black-and-white in June of 1966 was "Concentration", which would switch to color that Fall.

Most (if not all) of the first season of "Wild, Wild West" was in black-and-white.

The only episode of "Hogan's Heroes" in black-and-white was the pilot. Maybe the pilot was being rerun on the evening of June 21st, 1966.

"Gomer Pyle" went to color in the Fall of 1965.

I don't think any ABC daytime shows were in color until late 1966, but I believe there were two CBS daytime shows in color by June of 1966: "Art Linkletter's House Party" (which went color in the Fall of 1965) and "As The World Turns" (which I believe had just gone color). I'm pretty sure "Password" and "To Tell The Truth" went color sometime during the Summer of 1966 (wasn't the primetime "Truth" in color during the 1965/66 season???). By the end of the year (or maybe very early 1967 at the latest), the rest of CBS' first-run daytime schedule had been converted to color.

No idea. I think Ch. 5 had the Stooges but I don't know who
had the Rascals before Ch. 17 came on the air (again, I'm
inclined to say it was 5). Could be cartoons, could be an old
movie serial or newsreel.

That would be CBS.

That one is true. Reese Witherspoon was supposed to star and produce the big screen version of the "Burke's Law" spinoff series about the female detective with the ocelot[another word for tiger] for a pet, but there has been no word on whether this one will go forward.

Ocelots are much smaller than tigers, and are found in South America. It's closer to a bobcat

Not to ocelots.

They are sensitive about their heritage :).
