***This is the worst fall for new TV shows in the decade***
I remember another real bad fall schedule back in 1968. It was so bad LAUGH IN did a joke about looking at the future of America and foresaw....”President of the USA, Goldie Hawn asked NBC to STOP THE BOMBING!” (huge amount of hysterical laughter followed.)
The joke was the Dem party at that time wanted Lyndon Johnson to STOP THE BOMBING of North Vietnam to help them win the 1968 election.
There was a knock off of Laugh In in 1969 called Turn On. It was so bad that it is reputed to have been cancelled while the first and only episode was still on the air.
