The show in question was 'Turn-On'.  It DID have a large percentage
of the Laugh-In cast, and was produced by the same person as Laugh-In.
(George Schlatter (sp?)).  I recall it being a collection of 'blackout'-
type fillers like Laugh-In used.

I don't know if it was the only show to get bagged after one episode;
the lifetimes of many of the recent new shows strikes me as very
short.
