Karen was a short-lived ABC situation comedy starring Karen Valentine. A mid-season replacement, Karen lasted only five months (January to May 1975) before being canceled for low ratings.

Plot

Karen Angelo is an ambitious, enthusiastic worker for Open America, a citizen’s lobby in Washington, D.C.. Karen is assisted in finding (and uncovering) corrupt politicians by Dale Busch, the cantankerous founder of Open America (played by Denver Pyle in the pilot episode, Charles Lane would later play the role).
