Synopsis
The series features Dabney Coleman ("Buffalo" Bill Bittinger), Joanna Cassidy (as his no-nonsense producer, Jo-Jo White), John Fiedler, Max Wright, Geena Davis as production assistant, Wendy Kilian, Charles Robinson (as Newdell), 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.
Former NBC President Brandon Tartikoff wrote in his memoirs that his biggest professional regret was canceling the show.
