Carlton Your Doorman was an Emmy-award winning animated television special starring the (previously) unseen doorman Carlton from the sitcom Rhoda. As on Rhoda, Carlton's voice was provided by Lorenzo Music.

It was actually a pilot for a weekly series which never materialized. The show aired on CBS May 21, 1980 (right after the Chuck Jones special Bugs Bunny's Bustin' Out All Over).

It was revealed in this animated special that Carlton was a relatively young man, with shoulder-length blonde hair & mustache.

I've heard that, but I never saw it.

Of course, Lorenzo Music DID go on to achieve cartoon voiceover immortality later on in the decade:

Yeah, he was also the voice of Bill Murray's character in the Ghostbusters cartoon.

You're right, I'd forgotten that!! How ironic that Bill Murray would voice Garfield in those (UNECESSARY) CGI flicks after Lorenzo Music passed on?

Nope, it looks like it had a very short run - like the Garbage Pail Kids cartoon.
