On 16 July
1985, Doris Day's Best Friends premiered on the
American cable channel the
Christian Broadcast Network (CBN).
This series of
30 minute shows was to be Doris's last regular
return to the small screen. The main focus of these
shows was to
promote awareness on various animal welfare issues
that Doris felt impassioned about as well as chat and reminisce about
the good old days with some of her dearest showbiz
friends. Doris
recorded with her son Terry Melcher a handful of
songs especially for the show including the main theme
[these remain unreleased].
