Although ABC didn't pick up "The Karen Valentine Show" it did eventually air the pilot episode. On Monday, May 21st, 1973 the network aired a two-hour block of unsold pilots as part of The ABC Monday Night Movie under the title "Comedy Trio." The pilots were "The Barbara Eden Show," with Barbara Eden and Joe Flynn; "Catch 22" with Richard Dreyfuss; and "The Karen Valentine Show."
This unsold sitcom pilot was the first of three attempts by ABC and 20th Century-Fox to get a sitcom starring Karen Valentine on the air. Intended for the 1973-1974 season, the pilot was aired in May 1973.
Valentine would later explain what went wrong with "The Karen Valentine Show," saying simply "they rushed it." With her pilot unsold, Valentine remained with Room 222 through the 1973-1974 season, which would be its last.
This was a pilot for a TV series that went nowhere.
