I grew up watching black-and-white TV, and even when we got our first color set in 1969, it went into mom and dad's room. I still had to use the B&W in the living room. I'm pretty sure the first color TV I had total use of I bought myself when I got my first job as a junior in high school in 1973.
When I started collecting movies in 1980, probably 98 percent of what I taped was black-and-white stuff from before 1960. I still prefer the B&W episodes of "The Avengers" and "Science Fiction Theatre" over the color ones, just because they give me a better sense of the time period I originally watched them in.
Of course, I do collect and watch tons of color stuff. I'm not a lunatic about it like one friend of mine who spends almost all of his entertainment time listening to old radio shows from the 1940s and hates all new technology (most of all cable and satellite television) from 1960-on. He claims never to have owned a color tv until about 10 years ago when he got married for the first time (at age 47), and his wife made him buy one. Even now, he says that whenever he watches TV he turns off the color.
He's really a pretty nice and well-adjusted guy otherwise, but he's weird about technology...
