Canon powershot A85 camera, only seeing black and white on TV

I have a Canon Powershot A85 camera. When I connect it to our TV, the pictures only show black and white, but on three other TV's I tried with the same camera cable, the pictures display in color. I think our TV has two or three holes for the video cable, while the other TV's only had one, and my cable only has one video plug. Is there another cable I need?

Unable to download pictures

In the short term you can take the memory card out and use a card reader - at least that will let you see the pictures.
