SidneyIsTheKiller posted:Today's SNL still hasn't aired here, so someone else will have to tell me if it's better or worse than "Turn On" a show that was cancelled during its first commercial break on its first episode in 1969: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d5/Turn-On_Episode_1.webm Apparently networks were flooded with calls from church lady types who were incredibly offended by the show, and some network executive in Cleveland found it so unpalatable that he immediately pulled the show and went to the test pattern during the first commercial break. He then proceeded to call networks in timezones further west and persuaded them not to air it either. Even today the show is… interesting in an avant-garde way, but I can't see people back then, or even now, sitting down to watch this every week. You needed some very thin skin to find this offensive though.
