Black and white television were broadcast in this manner due to that fact that television sets could not display color versions. By the mid 1970s most television sets were color models and therefore black and white shows were discontinued.

What is the color of the Twilight Zone?
Television shows were cheaper to produce in Black & White. Show producers did not really think into the future about there still being a market for a year decades later. Most network shows were being made in color by 1965 but Twilight Zone ended production in 1964. Another consideration was the availability of color televisions. When The Twilight Zone went on the air in 1959, most if not all televisions were Black & White, so it wouldn't have helped to make it in color.

In what year did the color television come out?
Color television was the aim of all inventors and developers from the time that black and white was first introduced. It is hard to come up with a single year that color television was introduced. CBS began public broadcasts of color television in 1951 but the service was discontinued after only a few months. It was an inferior resolution to the existing black and white service and the two were incompatible NBC made its first color broadcast in 1953 although rather oddly, it could only be seen in color at their own headquarters. 1954 saw the first color broadcast across the US. This time, the color system was compatible with the existing black and white standard and allowed a progression from black and white to color. In Europe, the British took rather longer to define a color system and delayed the introduction of color broadcasts until 1967. The color encoding system in Britain was more stable than the American system but with more than ten years to examine the US methods, that should be little surprise. Both the American NTSC and the British PAL color encoding systems have remained in use to this day with all standard definition broadcasts. It is only the advent of HD that will eventually force the demise of both systems.
