Review of Turn-on

Turn-on (1969– )
I saw it all... for what it's worth...
8 May 2005
The ABC affiliate in my city aired the show in its entirety, so it was not canceled in mid-show. It was fast and unfunny. Part of the gimmick was that the show was put together by a computer, which leads to one guy saying "it's the first time I've ever programmed a program". Don't bust a gut laughing, folks. One thing that got it canned was showing the word "sex" for several minutes while the cast made lame jokes. Despite it being in the Sixties, a lot of folks objected to that three-letter word. ABC replaced it with "The King Family", a group of Lawrence Welk wannabes who exuded the kind of bland wholesomeness that made people hungry for Laugh-In.
