    I can see why "Turn-On" turned off many viewers when this aired when it did!

    Both the first and second eps of this notorious show have recently been uploaded on YouTube. For how long, I don't know. Created by "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In" producer and developer George Schlatter, this may have been both like and unlike that show in which there are plenty of scattershot jokes and skits but also an unusual way to present them. For instance, instead of regular hosts to present the material, we get a couple of people operating a computer console flicking switches to certain subjects on screen. Then there are many brief sketches lasting a few seconds entirely scored by a Moog synthesizer. Occasionally, some commercials interrupted though it took a while before I realized they weren't part of the program. The guest star was Tim Conway. Regulars include Chuck McCann-a Laurel & Hardy impressionist who did his Stan Laurel voice near the end when mentioning one of the sponsors, Mel Stewart before temporarily joining the cast of the very popular "All in the Family", and Teresa Graves, yes, the same one who'd eventually join "Laugh-In" the following season. I was amused by some of the material but I can see why many stations cancelled mid-broadcast watching this now and what I saw wasn't very funny . There's at least one more complete ep that didn't air that's also on YouTube I may review soon...

      One of the sequences that did not make it to air apparently showed an anthropomorphic Star of David telling an animated Christian monk that "We'll forgive you for Auschwitz if you reduce the charges to manslaughter!"
