 | jimbo, I actually watched that premiere/swan song episode when it was broadcast!! Watched it on the family 23" Admiral B&W TV set (we didn't get a color TV set until 1971). I was 12 years old and didn't get many of the jokes. Then, I remember we used 2 get a weekly TV... |

 | I found a number of episodes from seasons 1-3 online (as mp4 files) ... rather mild humor from the few I've watched (my digital TV tuner accepts USB drive input). I may yet burn to DVD. |
| As of this date, 2 completed episodes (with Tim Conway and Robert Culp, respectively) of "Turn On" can be downloaded from here (with original commercials). There's an unaired third episode with guest star Sebastian Cabot here.
