Trivia:
"Turn-On" (1969) producer George Schlatter had hoped to capitalize on the success of his "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In" (1967), but the format of joke-after-joke, delivered at breakneck speed, simply never got off the ground. more

Different, creative...and annoying, 18 February 2006
Author: thenullcorporation from United States

I was a teenager in the Los Angeles area when it aired in its entirety.

It was heavily promoted (hyped) and being rebellious I had to watch. My parents were not upset but more stunned. As in, "What the...." A blend of topical humor of Laugh-In infused with the DNA of Ernie Kovacs led to a bad reaction -- the grafting did not take and resulted in chaos and convulsions. And not convulsions of laughter. It was not offensive, just alien. I was irritated by the continuous drumming or scatting or some annoying audio underlay that was more annoying that a continuous laugh track.

Creative is was. Entertaining it was not...unless you find train wrecks entertaining. Glad it was archived. Oddly, one of the few details I recall was that Sebastian Cabot was going to be the guest host the next week. I pondered if he knew what he was getting himself into.
