Turkey Television is a sketch comedy series originally aired on Nickelodeon from 1985 to 1986 and re-run until 1988. The show was created by Roger Price and Geraldine Laybourne at the request of Nickelodeon in response to the popularity of You Can't Do That on Television, another Canadian children's sketch comedy that aired on the network.
The conceit of the series, described in the theme song, was that a turkey named Thurman T. Turkey (voiced by Jim Thurman) had created television ("take one look and you'll know"), and traveled around the world filming television shows from other countries, then "bringin' it home to Hollywood and puttin' it on the air".
