About Billy

Billy ended on April 28, 1979, after its single season on CBS. The show aired its final episode on that date, concluding the story of a young man's vivid fantasy world.

Billy was a comedy series that premiered on February 26, 1979. It centered on Billy Fisher, played by Steve Guttenberg, who inhabited a wildly incredible fantasy universe where anything could happen. The series was based on Tom Courteney's British play "Billy Liar" and explored Billy's imaginative escapades, from dreaming of dating Suzanne Somers to imagining himself as a sports hero or a network boss. The show aimed to depict how everyone fantasizes to some degree, especially when faced with life's challenges.

The cast included Steve Guttenberg as Billy Fisher, James Gallery as George Fisher, Peggy Pope as Alice Fisher, Paula Trueman as Gran, Michael Alaimo as Norval Shadrack, and Bruce Talkington as Arthur Milliken.
