More on Hot l Baltimore
Description from Wikipedia:
Hot l Baltimore is a 1975 television situation comedy adapted from the Lanford Wilson play of a similar title. The show takes place in the Hotel Baltimore and draws its title from the cheap hotel's neon marquis with a burned-out letter "e" that was never replaced. The short-lived half-hour series premiered January 24, 1975 and was produced by Norman Lear for ABC. The cast included Conchata Ferrell, James Cromwell, Richard Masur, Al Freeman, Jr., Gloria LeRoy, Jeannie Linero, and Charlotte Rae. The series had several controversial elements, including two primary characters who were prostitutes (one of whom was an illegal immigrant) and one of the first gay couples to be depicted on an American television series. The network supported the show and gave it a full publicity campaign, but it failed to win an audience and was canceled after thirteen episodes; its last telecast was June 6, 1975.
This series is notable as the first failure for producer Norman Lear after a very successful streak of mega-hit TV series beginning with All in the Family (1971) and continuing with Sanford and Son, Maude, Good Times and The Jeffersons, among others.
