I love how 60-year-old TV episodes can still pull in a lot of viewers — and the annual "I Love Lucy Christmas Special" (7 p.m., CBS/Ch. 2) does very well in the ratings every year.

It's a pair of colorized episodes, one that's become a tradition and one that we'll be seeing in color for the first time.

First up is the 1956 holiday episode. That's followed by the newly colorized 1952 installment "Lucy Does a TV Commercial" — the hilarious Vitameatavegamin episode.
