Carlton Your Doorman is a 1980 American television pilot for an animated spin-off of the live-action sitcom Rhoda (1974–1978) that was never picked up as a series. It originally aired as a "CBS Special Presentation" on May 21, 1980, and has never been rebroadcast.

Production

The episode relates the adventures of Carlton, the Doorman (voiced by Lorenzo Music), the previously off-screen character from Rhoda who was heard via the intercom but almost never seen (except only his arm would occasionally appear from doors and he was once shown dancing while wearing a gorilla mask).

It is also one of the last animated programs to use a laugh track, which was a common practice in the 1960s and 1970s.
