The WORST Broadcast in NBC HISTORY | Patriots @ Dolphins (1968)

Imagine a broadcast where NBC lies to the public about the quality of the broadcast itself. That's exactly what happened in 1968 with a game between the Boston Patriots and the Miami Dolphins, where NBC promised a color telecast, and what we got was... something entirely different

"The following NBC Sports program is brought to you in living black and white on NBC".

[@Musicradio77Network]

Or lively black & white.

[@big8dog887]

That end zone where the punt was blocked sure didn't look 10 yards deep.

[@Musicradio77Network]

The following NBC Sports program is brought to you in living color… …It just starts in black & white.

[@MegaBluebone]

Strange that the only color that showed thru was yellow

[@lesliebell4189]

7:15 Which is worse than if you did nothing but spike the ball into the ground on every single play.

[@danmount9462]

It looked like an old newspaper.

[@marcus813]

If it wasn't one thing in 1968 for NBC, it was another. Even with the Boston/Miami game lacking playoff implications, NBC still needed to give it and its viewers the proper respect.

[@stfi7566]

A brilliant NBC non-football decision made in 1968 was moving the original Star Trek to Fridays at 10PM for its third and final season.

[@georgeblangfordjr.1771]

On September 12,1959 NBC aired the debut cowboy tv show Bonanza in color

[@vincematuszek4023]

The coverage looks like they tried to broadcast in color, but were missing blues , there seems to be some reds and yellows on the tape.

[@JayTemple]

Sounds like you visit profootball-reference as often as I visit baseball-reference.

[@LegendaryDorkKnight]

The Boston Graytriots vs the Miami Dullphins

[@emeraldaly7646]

Not that I disagree about colour TV being far more watchable, but isn't it clear even in B&W which team is which? One side wear white, and the other a solid colour. Should be pretty simple to tell them apart.

[@ElFuego35]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hofXgJaJqJyBd8U Instead of their usual opening, NBC should've played that opening. (For Reference, that's from a 1967 Presentation of the Beatles' A Hard Day’s Night)

[@Musicradio77Network]

But it went like this saying “It just starts in black & white”. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rn6XnISHp9-Da6csi=0Xcz6QXsvs0nuw85
