The Dotty Mack Show was an early American television program originally broadcast on the now defunct DuMont Television Network. The series ran from 1953 to 1956. The program, produced and distributed from Cincinnati, aired Monday at 10:45 PM on most DuMont affiliates until July of 1953, when it moved to Tuesdays at 9:30.

Originally called Girl Alone, the program featured performer Dotty Mack lip synching and dancing to popular 1950s songs. The name of the program was changed to The Dotty Mack Show in the summer of 1953 when she was joined by male performers. The last DuMont show was on 25 August 1953. The series then moved to ABC, where it remained until being cancelled in September 1956.[1]
