It seems that, prior to the Jetsons Color broadcast
in the 1960s, the ABC Network feed was 30.00fps B&W.

Prior to the Jetsons, it must have been a challenge
for affiliates of ABC that had local Color ability
(or were affiliated with NBC or CBS also) to have
to change between 30.00 and 29.97.

With the technology available then, it wasn't possible
for a local affiliate to convert 30.00 to 29.97.

I don't recall reading anything about this type of
problem during the transition to Color though.
