The King Family Show (1965)
You probably remember a later version of the show...
The King Family had several incarnations up through the early 70's. The show was renewed for the 1966-67 season, and made a brief comeback as a regular series in the Spring of 1969. They also did several guest appearances on Ed Sullivan and Hollywood Palace. In 1967, they began producing a series of holiday specials, beginning with Thanksgiving and Christmas. By 1971, they ended up with a special for every month of the year (there was a joke about "Groundhog Day with the King Family"), many of which were repeatedly aired in syndication for years after. The last special was a new Christmas show in 1974. The "pastel colors" you remember were not from the first two seasons - they were black & white. How do I know all this? I was one of the kids in the show.
