Carlton Your Doorman is a 1980 animated pilot episode for a spin-off of the live-action sitcom Rhoda (1974–78) produced by MTM Enterprises and starring the previously off-screen character Carlton, the doorman (voiced by Lorenzo Music). This was the only animated production from MTM Enterprises (although The Duck Factory – a sitcom set in an animation production company – included cartoon segments, and the closing credits of many MTM series included animated clothing and accessories superimposed on Mimsie the Cat).

Synopsis
The adventures of Carlton, a New York City doorman and a misfit who seeks to better himself and his position in society. In the pilot episode, which presents viewers with a first look at Carlton (who was only heard but never seen on Rhoda), Carlton seeks a replacement for his boss's wife's dog, Punkin, who died while in his care.
It was revealed in this episode that Carlton was a relatively young man, with shoulder-length blond hair and mustache. It is also one of the last animated pilots to use a laugh track, which was a common practice in the 1960s and 1970s.
