For "Turn-On" I think you mean the series finale. ABC
canceled it on Feb. 7 after numerous complaints, especially
from affiliates, about the content.

Evidently (that it was indeed the premiere and series finale all at once). But then, that's what one gets when one submits things like this while "half past dead" (per a Band song - if you noticed the error about who starred in Moby Dick which WOR-TV aired on this day, and the subsequent correction).
