@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.

@djjd62,
Yes. I remember this one too. Funny show. Dabney Coleman was a hoot!! First time seeing Geena Davis, too. She was stunningly beautiful.

We've nearly completely avoided the Soaps and the Game Shows.

The Doctor's was on between Days of Our Lives and Another World, and probably the best of the three, but first canceled. Of course, up until The Doctor's cancellation, all were 1/2 hour.

@ibstubro,
don't watch any domestic soaps, watch and have watched some foreign ones, Coronation Street and Take The High Road from the UK, Richmond Hill and Neighbours from Australia (watched A Country Practice from Australia too, but not sure if it qualifies as a soap)

@djjd62,
My mom watched Days of Our Lives, The Doctor's and Another World faithfully when they were 1/2 hour each. Sometimes in the summer my sister and I would watch One Life to Live because it preceded the others by 1/2 hour and we were really, REALLY bored! lol

@ibstubro,
I watched Another World for years and years and then switched to Guiding Light for several years with the fine, fine Vince Williams (RIP) as Hampton Speakes. Oh my goodness was he fine!

@eoe,
As good a reason as any (and better than most) to watch a soap opera!

I don't believe anybody has mentioned In Living Color, which starred the Wayans family, and among others Jim Carrey. Funny show. Kelly Coffield was one of my favorites.

I don't watch soaps. But I do and did watch quiz shows. The first that popped to my mind was You Bet Your Life with Groucho Marx.

Say the secret woid and the duck'll fly down and give ya a hundred dollars.

@ibstubro,
Out of the night
When the full moon is bright
Comes a horseman
Known as Zorro
He's bold
And he's brave
Carves a Z
With his blade
A Z that stands for Zorro.

@Roberta,

Zorro Theme Lyrics


Out of the night,
When the full moon is bright,
Comes the horseman known as Zorro.
This bold renegade
Carves a "Z" with his blade,
A "Z" that stands for Zorro.

Zorro, Zorro, the fox so cunning and free,
Zorro, Zorro, who makes the sign of the Z.

He is polite,
But the wicked take flight
When they catch the sight of Zorro.
He’s friend of the weak,
And the poor and the meek,
This very unique senor Zorro.

Zorro, Zorro, the fox so cunning and free,
Zorro, Zorro, who makes the sign of the Z.

Zorro, Zorro, Zorro, Zorro, Zorro.
