1)  This topic should move to net.tv.
2)  I'm posting here anyway.

   Yes, I remember "Turn On".  It aired one Tuesday in February
of 1971(?) at 7:00.  ABC, I believe.  The only thing I remember
about it was a skit with Tim Conway which went:

Woman:  Do you love me?
Tim:    Love you? How can I love you? I don't even know you.
        For all I know, you're a pot-smoking [12 other scummy
        things]
Woman:  I am a pot-smoking [12 other scummy things]
Tim:    I love you.

   This was done in four squares, like the frames of a cartoon.
The whole show was like "Laugh-In" to an exponent of four --
very quick skits and lots of fast camera work.  Definite drug
and sex overtones, which probably caused the outrage that
brought cancellation within days.  Like "Green Acres", it
was a show years ahead of its time.
