My son is sitting her watching Tron. He looks at the guide and says, " This is from 1982?" I respond, "Yeah, it isn't that old" His response, "But it is COLOR" LOL When does he think color TV & movies were invented... The things kids say

What I find really bad is kids who refuse to watch anything that's black and white. And sometimes these "kids" are in their 20s or something now, this phenomenon of "I won't watch black and white" has been around for quite awhile now. Basically things starting switching to color in the 1960s, though of course color existed long before that (Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz - 1939.) By the end of the 60s though pretty much everything, movies and TV, was in color, except for occasional things filmed in black and white to imitate the look of older movies.

Really? It is a cult classic! I was born in 1978 and have seen the movies a thousand times over.
