Title: Film or possibly TV show: black and white with remote to make things color? Post by: Jim H on November 01, 2010, 03:31:53 AM So, there was this thing. I'm not sure if it was just a pilot for a failed TV show, a VERY short lived TV show, or a made-for-TV movie.. But the jist was there was a 50s Leave it to Beaver style family (the mother's look reminded me of Lucy), and they had a remote control that could either turn things color or black-and-white (all of reality around them, that is). I can't remember which color was the "default", though.. I remember sometimes there mood would cause the color setting to change too, I think.
This ring a bell for anyone? I probably saw it in the early 90s. Title: Re: Film or possibly TV show: black and white with remote to make things color? Post by: Couchtr26 on November 01, 2010, 04:17:50 AM It reminds me of Pleasantville. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120789/ I don't remember the remote much though. It has been along time since I saw Pleasantville.

Title: Re: Film or possibly TV show: black and white with remote to make things color? Post by: Jim H on November 02, 2010, 11:16:37 AM It is not Pleasantville. Special effects were way crappier and this wasyears before it. I am also quite sure about the remote thing causing the change.

I don't THINK so, but after reading about that one, I'm going to track down a copy! Karma for that. Title: Re: Film or possibly TV show: black and white with remote to make things color?

Karma for that. I only know about it because I own it. Odd movie. Title: Re: Film or possibly TV show: black and white with remote to make things color? Post by: sideorderofninjas on November 02, 2010, 10:55:19 PM It does sound like Hi, Honey I'm Home. A 1950s sitcom family gets relocated to the the early 1990s and hilarity ensues.
