Keep in mind that the final output display was in mind when someone created a TV show. We wouldn't want to watch Austin Powers or the Dukes of Hazzard on a b&w TV, and some of the old B&W classic stuff never translated well to a color interpretation/remake/reincarnation. People started making things that worked well in color but would not work well in B&W; just using their recording medium.
It's similar to the switch to high def for sports. 1080 res seems like it's made for better showing the basketball player's tattoo, the otherwise invisble hockey puck practically teleporting about above the ice, or the baseball line drive that didn't show well on the old analog NTSC system. You wouldn't go back because things are recorded to be viewed in a certain way.
