Another TV show that lasted only one week was the infamous ABC show Turn-On. It was supposed to be their answer to Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In. It was so bad that many affiliates refused to air it! And one cancelled it in the middle of the show!

Could not find the episode, but here is a cut from the 2nd show that never aired.

Turn-On! (1969) - YouTube

It didn't even last the whole show! Like you put. That stuff is infamous. Quickest cancellation ever. :D

My dad likes most of the old Westerns. I don't remember a lot of them. One of his favorites is reruns of "The High Chaparral". It came on in 1967 when I was 3.

For all who love the old shows, check and see if you can receive the MeTv (Memorable Entertainment Television). They have many of the old shows. To see what they do have, go here:

Me-TV Network | Programs on Me-TV

If you cable or satellite provider does not offer it, it may be available over the air. The channel, to my knowledge, is not available directly from a satellite, but is carried by local stations on one of there side digital channel.

In Oklahoma City, MeTV is on cable channel 222. About the only show they have that I would NOT recommend here is Night Gallery.

Personally, I like the early night gallerys, as they are very similar to the Twiilight Zone, but then they went to the stupid psyic guy, and was very boring.
