On February 5th, 1969, American TV network ABC premiered the experimental sketch comedy series Turn-On, the first and only American TV series ever to be cancelled not just after but during its first episode. By the time it reached the Central time zone, it was already being yanked off the air by outraged affiliate stations and was shortly after buried without a trace by the network. The completed second episode along with any others in production were likewise never aired, and remain largely lost to this day.
