The second, and final, ep of "Turn-On" was a little better but not by much!
20 August 2023
Okay, having just seen the first ep of "Turn-On" and finding it mostly underwhelming, I've now viewed the second ep and it's only a little better by comparison. Since the previous one had many ABC affiliates blocking the show after several of the beginning minutes, this one never aired and in fact, the entire series was effectively cancelled a few days after the first one. Like I implied, there was somewhat better material presented but it's in the same scattershot way with the same beats as scored by the Moog synthesizer with mostly the same monotonous result. Guest stars this time were Robert Culp and his then-wife France Nuyen. Oh, let me also mention that like the previous ep, the skits were filmed in front of a white background with no audience participation so no laughter of any kind. Good move since I can't imagine anyone really thinking any of this was hilarious...P. S. At least one of the commercials presented during the show starred Madeline Kahn before her movie stardom.
