- TriviaRock Hudson, Doris Day's frequent costar from a string of 1960s romantic comedies, was the guest star on the first episode of this show. However, what was meant to be a heartwarming, nostalgic reunion was marred by the fact that Hudson, who had been diagnosed with HIV / AIDS the year before, was visibly ill and seriously struggling. It was one of his last public appearances before his death in October 1985.

Featured review
The biggest her four legged friend
Doris Day came out of retirement and started the "Best Friends" show. The main focus was her love for animal welfare. Her first friend on the show was Rock Hudson. She also had visits from Kaye Ballard, Denver Pyle, Robbie Benson, Howard Keel and many others. Although the show was shot on a low budget, the heart of it was in the right place. It was also exciting to hear Doris sing again. She recorded a handful of songs especially for the show, including the theme. The most touching moment is how she shared her love for her favorite friend "Biggest". He was a dog who was also featured in an episode of the Doris Day show. She had attempted to put him in a loving home but he always ended back in her arms. He had a wonderful long life living with a wonderful lovely lady.
