Talk:Turn-On (First and Second Episodes; Late 1960s)/@comment-33232785-20171002060802

I watched the first episode today at the Paley Center. It's a lot worse than I thought it would be. Each skit is only about 10 seconds long. They're not funny and when they do make a joke it goes by so fast you hardly notice. There's this irritating high pitched moog synthesizer noise that underscores the entire show. Most of the "jokes" are really bad double entendres and outdated political references that aren't even that funny if you know the context. Also, for some reason, the credits to the show are displayed during the show inbetween skits instead of at the end. Stylistically it was pretty cool but for the most part it was just boring.

One thing that made me laugh though: the show was sponsered by Bufferin asprin. It's like they knew this show was headache-inducing.

It would be nice if it showed up online because it's an interesting part of television history but it really is garbage and if you haven't seen it you're not missing much.
