Wow! I saw this when it aired back in 1979 or 1980!! I NEVER forgot it and I'm so glad to see it again. The tv show was called DOROTHY and it aired only four episodes as a summer replacement. My grandmother had taken me to see Annie when I was ten and I fell in love with Dorothy (a theater queen at 10!) so this was a pretty big deal. Thanks SO much for uploading this.
Nothing against Dorothy Loudon, but look at Irene Tedrow, who I remember as a terrific character actress. I don't know that I ever saw her sing and dance before seeing this clip.
Even the set looks the Facts of Life. It was just too much like the Facts of Life. Perhaps if it been set in a different setting or profession. You can’t deny Dorothy had talent. The premise was just way weak.
Dorothy Loudon's career was always in the shadow of Carol Burnett. Carol does a better job of Hard Hearted Hannah, bur Dorothy was better as Miss Hannigan.
She was absolutely wonderful 🎉

I remember this from way back in the day and loved it. I had no idea who Dorothy Loudon was until this show aired. Became a fan.
This woman is wonderful!!! I wept with laughter, both my wife and I
loving this performance, so full-blooded and free!! WOW!!!
A great comedic performance from Dorothy Loudon! Sitcoms these days need to emulate this formula.
This show only lasted 4 weeks.
Absolutely love this scene!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
Linda Manz is so cute.
Dottie could belt they say.

What show was this? Dorothy was out of control. Fantastic.
So sad this never became a hit.

Who is 'Jack"? He looks so familiar ...
Does anyone know what TV show this was from?

Looks like webster.
So many attempts at "The Facts of Life."

People said Dorothy didn't like working with kids (though these actresses were young adults) and was not a friendly person to work with.
