Saturday Morning November 1964

Saturday Morning November 1964 My twin and I have a TV Guide in front of us We are thrilled because we got a colored TV set yesterday. In the TV Guide there is a peacock by the shows that are in color. This will be the first time we have ever seen Under Dog in color! We watch the clock. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Under Dog music starts. A flying underdog flashes across the sky. He is wearing mostly red; his cape is blue. My twin and I stare at each other. “I thought his outfit was blue!” we both say. We have only seen him in grayscale up until now. Polly Purebred was a complete surprise too. I had pictured her in green, and my sister thought she would be in pink. She was dressed in blue. We ate our soggy cornflakes in silence. I felt betrayed. I am not sure how my sister felt. It is like seeing a movie after you have read the book and have pictured the characters completely different.
