Great job, Fred. As a matter of interest _Turn-On_ from 5 Feb 1969 is not only on the list of shows cancelled after one episode but was actually cancelled before the episode ended. Station WEWS-TV out of Cleveland, Ohio didn't return to the show after the first commercial break. Western affiliates monitoring the East Coast feed chose not to air it.
I had forgotten about the Listerine package....My grandpa owned a restaurant and he always smelled like Listerine, old spice, and french fries! I'd give anything to smell that again! LoL! Thank you Fred....you manage to bring forth the best buried memories! If you did a video on doll commercials from 69 to 80 my whole childhood would come popping out! LoL!❤
You Sir, have done the impossible & found the rarest clip in TV history: an actual promo for the shortest-lived TV show in history, Turn-On. We appreciate your efforts, FredFlix! 👏
12:25. In first run syndication Magilla ( voice of Alan Melvin) would have said something along the lines of " The Magilla Gorilla Show has been presented by Ideal Toys they're wonderful toys... they're IDEAL..get it". This was from the ABC network run of the series which began in January of 1967. Which still used Ideal Toys as a sponsor but added co-sponsors such as Nabisco and Del- Monte.
@@TheProjectionistsVault, I think the worst movie for Eastman color was a Fred McMurray western called Quantez. Every print I ever came across was pretty much unwatchable because it was so red.
Thanks Fred! I decided to leave my comments for part A and B for this video. Is there a part C? Anyway, it's up to your usual standards. That Wednesday night ABC promo was voiced by the ubiquitous Dick Tufeld.
ya did it again fred! this is my favorite clip... see if you can tell me what it's from. "Hey groovy guys! Got a big date tonight but got a zit in the middle of your forehead? I mean those big juicy kind that looks like a third eye! Well if they've been calling YOU cyclops, don't get uptight, becaause we got Hickey Off Pimple Pads! Hey man, medicated hickey-off don't just go to work on the surface, but it goes down deep and rips 'em out by the roots! Yeah, and for that moon size crater, we got some plastic filler! Hey! Comes complete with pimple pads, sandpaper, and flesh tone paint for the rough spots! So get it together with Hickey Off Pimple Pads and Plastic Filler. By Bondo. (a "family" company."
I remember the Carol Burnett Show from when I was growing up in the 80's. They used to show the repeats on syndication in my local independent tv station. I always found it extremely boring and would change the channel as soon as I heard the opening notes of the Carol Burnett theme.
Turn On, ABCs answer to Laugh in, was a turn off in comedy, despite a bunch of talented comic actors, including Chuck McCann, the great Laurel and Hardy impressionist. The humor was forced and there was no chemistry with the cast. Master ventriloquist Paul Winchell was the most famous of the Banana Split voices ( think Tigger, Knucklehead, Scrubbing Bubbles…same voice…)and good old Allan Melvin ( Brady Bunch, Archie Bunker’s Place, Bilko, ) was the voice of Magilla Gorilla ( I remember it in prime time) . Fred-tasting video!

Must have been a real winner. Like the Tarkus avatar.
I have seen the first, and also last ever, several minutes of that show on YT, and I have to tell you, it was bad.
It was ABC's attempt to copy LAUGH-IN . Epic failure.
Turn On was way ahead of its time. It was Laugh In meets the Twilight Zone. Once the episode went off, it was turned off. And hasn't seen since.
@@gsnfan Actually it's seen by anyone looking it up on Wikipedia.

Good thing I'm not into dolls, Chantelle -- I don't want to make you pop out; you might get hurt!
@@FredFlix just saw this! LoL! Too funny Fred! Great catch as well! You are the king! LoL!🤣🥰

Yep, it lasted one episode, Luis.
It was online for a while bro
I recognize Teresa Graves from the Bristol-Myers partially sponsored "Turn-On" show, who would later appear primarily in the 3rd season of "Laugh-In".
When The Waltons popped up, i knew that P&G was going to sponsor the first/second half of it. P&G did a lot of that and i loved it!
❤❤❤❤ this totally awesome Fred thank you so much
You're welcome again, my friend.
I could use some of those Nabisco cookies right about now. Thanks for another great set!
8:14 Syndicated print of what was known as THE BANANA SPLITS ADVENTURE HOUR. Which was sponsored in its NBC network airing by Kellogg's.
I do believe THIS particular video has just become my new favorite due to all the great Twilight Zone clips - Excellent stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it, Nunetc.
I love those illustrations of New York City from Naked City, I wonder who did them?
You caught me off guard! Now I'm getting my 🍿. Lol

1966.
Even in syndication long after Ideal toys went out of business the theme song boasted that Magilla Gorilla was really Ideal.
Raise your hand if you were a member of the Banana Splits club lol. 🖐😁
Thanks for the memories Fred. 👍👍👍
You're welcome, Robert. (I didn't raise my hand.)
the Star Trek one is so bizzare, I guess they meant Spock doesnt show emotions?
huh, didn't expect to see some of my prints here. neat.
Great stuff!
Thanks!
Jeez Fred, was the Banana Splits in Eastman Color? Another great one Fred. 👍
Thanks, Gregg. I've never had any answers for the Banana Splits!
it is indeed early eastman. i also have a 16mm copy with secret squirrel from that syndie package.

eastman isn't half bad when fresh, it just doesn't hold up. besides, thanks to modern convenience, it isn't a death sentence for film.
I would need the Delorean to go back in time.
I think that might be the longest clip of Turn On on RUclips
Ooh Bobby Sherman! Be still my teenage heart! ❤️
Another great clip. Good work as always!
Thanks, coolaunt.
My favorite cartoons Fred.....Mom is 96 we are going to watch Precious Pup now. Hope I can find.
You are lucky to have her for so long, Traveler.

Fred -
Awesome. Thanks for zipping me back to 10 year old me!!!
Happy to remind you, Jeff.

No Part C, Ernest, but other volumes coming.
