I Love Lucy "The Christmas Episode" Is Back

On December 20th, CBS will re-air "The Christmas Episode" of the old program "I Love Lucy." Airing the Christmas Episode is a big deal, since the star Lucille Ball had mixed feelings about it and eventually the episode was taken out of syndication. Now it is back! However, not only is it back, but it is back and this time it's in color! The episode has been colorized and will be broadcast never before seen, in full color. Since last class we talked about color correction I thought this would be an appropriate post. There is some debate about whether or not this is a good idea, some people think it is a good idea for the episode to be colorized, and some say different: they would rather the show to be forever in black & white. I might have to check out the full episode on the 20th to see how it turns out. You can decide for yourself with the preview link below:
