Tim Conway has stated that "Turn-On" was canceled midway through its only episode, so that the party that the cast and crew held for its premiere as the show aired across the United States also marked its cancellation. Cleveland, Ohio's WEWS-TV did not return to the show after the first commercial break (after "15 minutes", according to Conway). The rest of the time slot was the emergency procedure, a black screen with live organ music that had not been used in over 20 years. WEWS sent ABC network management an angry telegram: "If your naughty little boys have to write dirty words on the walls, please don't use our walls. "Turn-On" is turned off, as far as WEWS is concerned."
