when did televisions become common in homes
When did color tv's become common in the average household? The KGB Agent answer: While the first color television was introduced in the US in 1953, it wasn't until the late 1960s and early '70s that color televisions became commonplace. Color sets did not outsell black-and-white sets until 1972. A German patent dating to 1904 contained the first proposal for a color television system, however, it failed, along with a second attempt in 1925.
