    I've actually seen the two episodes of Turn-on that were produced. It WAS ahead of its time. Audiences of today would have no problem with the show. But 1969 is a whole other ballgame. The jokes flew at you from every direction. Instead of an audience or canned laughter, they used a Moog Synthesizer instead of an audience. The show didn't have an opening credits sequence. Instead, the credits were run after commercial breaks. Finally, the show didn't have an actual set. It was filmed in a big, white room and was designed to make viewers somewhat uncomfortable.
    The premise of the show was that it was all created by a computer. The second episode would've featured the first motion captured CGI. Do a UA-cam search for Turn-on Dancer, and it should come up. It would've totally freaked out a 1969 audience.

    I've heard the legend of "Turn On" for years and it's intriguing to finally see some clips from it. There was a show on Comedy Central in the early/mid 90's that look very similar to the clips shown, a bunch of random short sketches against a white background. The only sketch I remember is a group of guys dressed up as a rock band yelling "are you ready to rock" with a response from the audience of "no, give us 5 more minutes." I only watch parts of maybe a couple episodes and think it lasted maybe 6-8.

    Public Morals did get multiple episodes aired outside the US, like down here in New Zealand. I don't remember much about the show now, but did see some of the eps. It was kind of a spin-off of NYPD Blue, with Bill Brochtrup reprising his role as John Irvin. A sitcom spin-off of NYPD Blue is a bonkers concept in itself. The show quickly died and Brochtrup just went back to NYPD Blue. One of the other stars, Peter Gerety, moved over to Homicide: Life On The Street...maybe my favorite drama series ever.

My Dad Says, The Crazy Ones, jody loves chachi, my mother the car, Gloria, Mockingbird Lane , all of the heroes spinoffs, The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr., eerie indiana , Galahad nd Pushing daisies I know got a few episodes as did Police academy the series and space balls.

Malcolm and Eddie, do over, The Return of Sherlock Holmes, Time After Time, Aquaman, M.A.N.T.I.S., Alf's hit talk show, The Alan Brady show, Phyllis, angelica's school daze, Soul Man but over all you got the big failed ones I would have listed.
