Thought this disappeared off the face of the earth!

After years of searching I can't believe I finally found something online regarding this show! If I remember correctly it aired on NBC one time only (New Years Eve, 1973/74) as part of an evening featuring various pilot episodes. Eddie Albert plays a widowed father of an 8 year old girl (Dawn Lyn, better known as Dodie from MY THREE SONS). He has help from his sister and also a housekeeper (called "Momsy" by the daughter). I was only nine years old when it aired, but I distinctly remember this was pretty risqué for 1973, with scenes including the daughter at the breakfast table asking "why can't I wear a bra?", and I also recall some neighbors or acquaintances who cause problems for the father when they leave a brochure for a nudist colony behind. Wouldn't mind seeing this one again!
