I can buy the "...in living color on NBC..." as subtle humor, but
why is the fact that it was a black & white TV amazingly ironic?  
Maybe the hospital hadn't forked over the money for a color TV?  
And what about all the poor souls watching the 50th Anniversary
special on their outdated black & white sets?  Does that make the
situation doubly ironic? :^)  B&W did not die with the introduction 
of color: we still have 3 sets lying around our house...somewhere......
