Let’s play “Grumpy Old Codgers”! 
The colored sheet was just a bit before my time but my former brother in law recalled his dad bringing one home in the early-to-mid 60s. It didn’t work very well!
My parents held out until 1979 before they finally got an RCA console style color TV. I think it had a whopping 15 inch screen and I want to say it cost around $500! That would be a bit over $1900 USD in 2021. They didn’t spring for cable TV until 1992, by which point I had moved away.
That RCA was pretty much dead when they moved away in 1998, so we had it hauled off. Years later, I noticed the identical model in Patchy The Pirate’s living room in the Spongebob “Lost Episode”.
