A working replica of Rosie the Robot from THE JETSONS now exists, thanks to a former Navy Engineer.

And she has the voice of Jean Vander Pyl (using audio from the cartoon).

Color TV debuted 72 years ago today — June 25, 1951.

#EdSullivan hosted PREMIERE, the first commercially sponsored color show (on 5 CBS affiliates).

Few saw it, because color sets weren’t on sale yet! And CBS’s color broadcasts were incompatible w/ B&W TVs.
