October 27, 1954 –
“… It was all started by a mouse.”

Walt Disney’s first TV show, Disneyland, premiered on ABC-TV on this date.
All of the ABC episodes were filmed in color, even though they aired in black and white. In general, ABC did not broadcast in color until the mid 1960s. During the years on ABC, the show went by the title of Disneyland, with one of four weekly sub titles, either Fantasyland, Frontierland, Adventureland or Tomorrowland, depending on the category of that week’s show.
