There were 158 episodes.
So we decided to leave it in black and white.

So how do you think they episodes look colorized?Theyre wonderful.
Its nice to see Mary Tyler Moores flashing black eyes and her hair.
And Dick Van Dyke is the most talented human being ever.

How close were they to the real colors?A lot of it was close.
Its very satisfying to the eye.
Do you remember writing these episodes?
Youd better have that fixed or youll deplete the whole water supply of New York.
So that was sort of based on something that actually did happen.
There was a drip that she played with and used her toe, but it didnt get it stuck.
That was one of the first shows we ever did.
It was a very good show because its a question kids ask their parents all the time.
Where did I come from?
And my answer was, You come from mama.
People said I couldnt say that, and I asked why.
A lot of people tell their children they come from a cabbage patch, or the stork brought them.
Kids only have to know what they ask.
They dont want to know anymore than what you ask, so dont give them any more information.
That was another thing I couldnt beat.
I used to say it was so silly.
I was angry about that forever.
ET, both on CBS.
