@ibstubro,
after checking wiki, i probably saw at least one episode, but this caught my eye
The Duck Factory lasted thirteen episodes; it premiered April 12, 1984. The show initially aired at 9:30 on Thursday nights, directly after Cheers, and replaced
Buffalo Bill on NBC's schedule. Jay Tarses, an actor on The Duck Factory, had been the co-creator and executive producer of Buffalo Bill, which had its final network telecast on Thursday, April 5, 1984.
i loved Buffalo Bill
from wiki
Buffalo Bill is an American television situation comedy that featured the misadventures of an egotistical talk show host and his staff at a small TV station in Buffalo, New York. It premiered May 31, 1983 on NBC and ran for only part of two seasons (1983-84).
The series featured Dabney Coleman ("Buffalo" Bill Bittinger), Joanna Cassidy, John Fiedler, Max Wright, Geena Davis, Charles Robinson, Meshach Taylor, Claude Earl Jones and Pippa Pearthree. Most of the humor came from Bill's completely unredeemable qualities and from the staff's frustration at dealing with him.
The series received 11 Emmy Award nominations (including two for Outstanding Comedy Series). Joanna Cassidy also won a Golden Globe Award in 1984.
Buffalo Bill has developed a cult following ever since its original network run, even though it was re-aired just once on A&E. Former NBC President Brandon Tartikoff wrote in his memoirs that his biggest professional regret was canceling the show.
