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.

Synopsis
Most of the humor came from Bill's completely unredeemable qualities and from the staff's frustration at dealing with him.
