NBC Network - The Duck Factory - "Goodbye Buddy, Hello Skip" (Complete Broadcast, 4/12/1984) 📺 🦆

Описание: Here's a complete broadcast of the premiere episode ("Goodbye Buddy, Hello Skip," S01E01) of a short-lived sitcom set in a struggling animation studio, The Duck Factory, as aired on the NBC Network over WMAQ Channel 5.

The main star was a young Jim Carrey, years before he became a breakout star on the sketch comedy series In Living Color (and all that followed from there), in the role of budding animator Skip Tarkenton. The series also featured the likes of legendary Hanna-Barbera voice artist Don Messick, plus Julie Payne, Nancy Lane, Jay Tarses (former co-writer for The Bob Newhart Show), Clarence Gilyard Jr. (pre-Matlock), Teresa Ganzel (before she became the last Matinee Lady to Johnny Carson's Art Fern on The Tonight Show), and veteran comic actor Jack Gilford. In this series premiere, Skip arrives to the studio in time for the funeral of the man who offered him his job.
