2/ Wildly experimental and showcasing some cutting edge technology, its use of very fast editing and synthesizer music must have made it seem positively otherworldly to all the squares and, most likely, a large chunk of the cool kids too.
It frequently feels more like Avant Garde sci-fi than TV comedy. The empty white studio set and in-show computer console have an unnerving THX 1138 quality to them.
The second episode is here.

1/ Back in 1969 the producers of the hugely popular Laugh In tried to get a more daring and much odder skit-show on the air. The end result, Turn On, has the unusual distinction of effectively being cancelled midway through its inaugural episode, with multiple affiliates refusing to return to the show after the first ad-break.
Now, some kind soul has uploaded it to Youtube and it is quite something.

After watching the two surviving episodes, I can see why the show was canceled after ONE episode... https://youtu.be/-lI3PR4yLZI / https://youtu.be/GjE6mxY_02Q #TurnOn

I expect it will be nothing but dated and horrible and stupid...but I must watch. This was apparently uploaded two weeks ago? The show's Wikipedia page also has it embedded so hopefully it'll stick around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxs5ki5e8nE
