One pilot I can remember quite vividly appeared on NBC on New Year's Eve, 1973. It was called "DADDY'S GIRL", and it starred Eddie Albert (from Green Acres) as a divorced or widowed man (I forget which) with an (approximately) 10 year-old daughter. Della Reese also starred as his live-in housekeeper (who is called "Momsie" by the daughter). I remember the tone of this particular comedy was quite racy for its time: in the opening scene, the daughter is sitting at the breakfast table asking why she isn't old enough to wear a bra, and they also have guests or neighbors who are practicing nudists. Apparently a brochure for a nudist colony is left behind, causing Daddy's parenting skills to be called into question, as well as Momsie's role as a guardian.

Anyone else out there remember this one? I've done all sorts of internet searches for information on this pilot (including GOOGLE) and have come up empty!

Believe it or not, after all this time I actually FOUND information on IMDB regarding this pilot... I knew I wasn't losing my mind!

I believe the daughter on that show was Dawn Lynn, who played Dodie on My Three Sons.

...that pilot was created, produced and co-written by Jay Sommers, who was previously behind Eddie's "GREEN ACRES" series [Jay had previously tried, towards the end of "GREEN ACRES", to "pitch" two separate ideas- "CAROL" and "PAM"- that appeared as pilots doubling as episodes {"The Ex-Secretary" and "Hawaiian Honeymoon"} at the end of the 1970-'71 season, with similar results]. He was never able to sell another series to anyone...
