Film prints fade over the years especially when not stored correctly.
That is why the colour on old films varies from mediocre to non-existent.
Also I believe the colour balance used to be adjusted for the significantly
blue light of carbon-arc projection lamps.

I assume you really mean "pure TV" *filmed* shows.  Videotapes are quite
different and can vary just as much though in different ways.
