''Turn-On'''s premise was that it was "the first computerized TV show", according to its opening sequence; the show had no sets except for a clinical white backdrop, where sketches generated by an artificially intelligent computer would be acted out. Unlike the generally appealing humor of ''Laugh-In'', ''Turn-On'' was oriented around [[off-color humor]] and "focused almost exclusively on sex as a comedic subject",<ref name="levine2007">{{cite book | title=Wallowing in Sex: The New Sexual Culture of 1970s American Television | publisher=Duke University Press | author=Levine, Elana | year=2007 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0B1y4YV5ji8C&q=turn-on+abc+19691&pg=PA173 | pages=173 | isbn=978-0-8223-3919-9}}</ref> using various rapid-fire jokes and risqué [[skits]]. Co-creator and production executive Digby Wolfe described it as a "visual, comedic, sensory assault involving [[animation]], [[videotape]], [[stop-action]] film, electronic distortion, [[computer graphics]]—even people."<ref name="Bob">{{Cite news|last=MacKenzie|first=Bob|date=February 11, 1969|title=On Television...

The program was also filmed instead of presented live or on videotape; in a style of presentation that was novel for the time, several sketches and jokes were presented with the screen divided into four squares resembling [[Comic strip|comic strip panels]]. The production credits of the episode were inserted at random intervals after the first commercial break, instead of conventionally at the beginning or end.
