Buffalo Bill is an American television sitcom that featured the misadventures of an egotistical talk show host, played by Dabney Coleman and his staff (including Geena Davis and Joanna Cassidy) at WBFL-TV, a small TV station in Buffalo, New York. It premiered June 1, 1983 on NBC and ran for two seasons (1983–84). It was also shown on the then-new UK fourth TV channel Channel 4.
Most of the humor came from Bill's completely unredeemable qualities and from the staff's frustration at dealing with him.
In 2005, Lionsgate released the entire series on Region 1 DVD.
Kurt stands up to Bill as the studio does a tribute to Jerry Lewis.
The series received 11 Emmy Award nominations (including two for Outstanding Comedy Series). Joanna Cassidy also won a Golden Globe Award in 1984. In 1999, TV Guide ranked Bill Bittinger number 42 on its 50 Greatest TV Characters of All Time list. Former NBC President Brandon Tartikoff wrote in his memoirs that his biggest professional regret was canceling the show.
