  • Creator Backlash: Geraldine Laybourne does not look back on this show fondly. Being her only creator credit on a show during her tenure as Nickelodeon's president, her son allegedly hated the final product so much that he told her "she'd never work in the business again".
    Laybourne: Who remembers Turkey TV? No one, except me; and, um, not fondly.
  • One-Book Author: This was the first and last show that Geraldine Laybourne had any direct creative involvement with.
  • What Could Have Been: Early promotions and interviews for Turkey Television made mention of a "video DJ" that would host the show and make commentary on the footage shown, not that similar to what MTV was doing at the time. For reasons that have yet to be explained, the "video DJ" aspect was cut from the final version.
