Well, you can always turn off the color on your TV set, or you could watch
it on a black & white set to begin with. Or you could decide to give it a
chance--who knows, you might even like it better than what you remember.
After all, if you grew up when TV was primarily black & white, and you'd
gotten used to seeing, say, Gone_With_the_Wind that way, would you have
been upset the first time you saw it in color?
