edlongus SUBS 28th Oct 2024		TV Turn-On (1969)	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 magazine in the Sunday Washington Post newspaper, and it listed the 2nd episode of "Turn-On", but when we tuned in, it wasn't there.
edlongus SUBS 21st Oct 2024		TV Turn-On (1969)	jimbo, this program was a highly anticipated, notorious flop when it premiered. There was nothing else on the air like it when it was released, and the show had replaced the cancelled prime-time soap "Peyton Place" (which made some people unhappy).

edlongus SUBS 16th Oct 2024		TV Turn-On (1969)	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. I've heard there was another episode under production with special guest The Monkees, and some footage had been recorded, but of course I can't confirm that. Can anyone confirm?!?
edlongus SUBS 8th Dec 2017		TV Becker (1998 - 2004)	One of the best comedies in the 21st Century. Much more deserving than the recognition it got. Actually very well scripted comedy, not like the flood of 'therapy sessions' thrown on TV, disguised as comedy writing ("Modern Family", "Life In Pieces", that kinda sickening garbage...)
