No! No! No! The woman is 103 years old. Maybe if they had done a sitcom with her in the 1980s, it would have been good. But I predict another Life With Lucy in the works.

A sitcom is a horrible idea nowadays. The only one to come out since the early 2000's and do well is Netflix's reboot of One Day At A Time, and that's only because they milked the social justice thing to draw in the blue haired crowd.
Sitcoms are a thing of the past.

I define a sitcom as one with a multi-camera show with a laugh track. That rules out shows like The Office and its rip-offs, The Good Place, Grace and Frankie, etc etc.
When I think sitcoms I think Will & Grace, Golden Girls, The Nanny, Friends, etc etc. No show like that has come out since the early 2000's and done well. They especially won't do well now, in a post-Game Of Thrones world. Audiences don't want sitcoms, they want dramas full of violence and sex. There's no room for sitcoms anymore.

At age 74 I'm not really sure if it's a good idea for Dolly to commit to the weekly grind of a TV series. She's at that stage where she can just sit back and enjoy life rather than take on an additional workload.

r16 Multi camera are called multi cams.
Sit coms are single camera.
It used to be sit coms were the multi camera variety but when more single cam comedies started being produced they received the sit com moniker.

Love Dolly, but a sitcom would the last thing I'd want from her. There were clips of a sitcom she was working on in the early (or thereabouts) 90s floating around YouTube and they were so bad it was awkward to watch. A sit-com devoid of humor, irony, raunch that once again exploited her tired self-deprication & over used boob jokes would just make the world feel sorry for her--and that's all I can see her turning out. Sure, she's brilliant when she's a participant in someone else's project, like 9 To 5, Steel Magnolias, maybe even Straight Talk. But left to her own devices her acting rivals Madonna's for most laughable track record, and I don't mean laughing with her. Every episode of Heartstrings was as awful as the worst children's programing on TBN. She has a string of made-for-television movies that feature her doing nothing more than sauntering around in tight jeans & camel toe...playing country singers. Wind Texas Wind had her playing an abused woman (...who happened to be a country singer) and the make-up applied to simulate a badly abused face was worse than Dollar Tree Halloween make-up applied with a single cotton ball. Like I said, love Dolly, but her quest to dominate the family friendly entertainment field shows how deep she's willing to dive into heartless, sterile bad taste to do it. She's never willing to break her real life character to fully commit to an acting performance with convincing depth or emotional authenticity. Her commitment is to selling "Dolly", not to individual pieces that stand separately on their own, away from that cultivated image.

I feel like it’s impossible to create a truly funny sitcom anymore. Everything has to be woke and a big “lesson” to teach us. Ugh, I’ll keep watching the good old stuff when a joke didn’t have to be vetted by a panel of trannies.

Having been the network exec for the 90s Dolly sitcom mentioned upthread, I'm happy to report that its three count 'em three pilots and then six episodes thereafter produced (never ever aired, nor even came close) are available for free screening in my garage at home, where they've sat for 25 years. Prolly the *only* place they've sat for 25 years, too.

R46...There were a few very brief clips that have appeared on YouTube. In one she's at a relative's house & the relative (sister perhaps?) is wondering whether or not Dolly should leave before she has a negative influence on the young daughter. Just as Dolly says "So you think I should go?" The young daughter comes down a flight of stairs wearing a teased wig, heels & full make-up...So predictable & so not funny.

I would not say I worship Dolly, R49, but I do consider her the Queen of the South. She is a very talented, kind, and giving woman. Just the amount of books her organization has given to little kids is worthy of respect. I think the more relevant question is where is Judy.

R49, aside from her great catalog of songs, her kindness, her sassy sense of humor about her own image, her unwavering support of the gay community, and the millions of dollars she gives to charity, I'd say the fact that she's done more to combat childhood illiteracy in the US than any other individual I'm aware of is a good reason to worship her. Other stars lend their names to various causes they like; Dolly set up an organization that has improved the lives and minds of millions of underprivileged children.
