[LeoArctica]

[sixscreens]

He appeared for the first time April 1, 1966.

[collgoff]

@sixscreens On April fools day?

[keca1430]

It was a night-time prime time show, but maybe some affiliates tape delayed it and played it later, possibly in the daytime. Or maybe you're thinking of the TV show he did for CBS around 1957-'59 that on on in the mornings/daytime. This Jimmy Dean Show was Thursday nights 9-10 pm in '63, then Thursday nights 10-11 pm in '64, and the last year in '65, it aired Friday nights 9-10 pm

[keca1430]

Rowlf was on Jimmy's ABC show from September 1963 to April 1966, then Jim Henson and Rowlf appeared with Jimmy in his live shows in Las Vegas for a time in '66, and they last worked together one final time on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1967.

[jmen4ever]

@keca1430  Thought that was the time area. IF I recal right,it was a noon show, that we would catch . Back then, kids went home for lunch.Loved these bits and the show. RIP Mr. Dean

May jim and jimmy r.i.p. Rowlf was the first reconizable muppet wich makes him specail kermit didnt have a name orginly and was more of lizzard kermit was 2nd muppet and people now aren't suppose to use them as respect to jim no more kermy or rowlfy. I knew of muppet show but i fraggle rock and muppet babies gal

[Tulkastaldo]

I love how Rowlf casually dropped that he likes to "have a couple of beers" after work in the Muppet Movie. That really made him seem like a real person...dog, whatever.

[shuboy05]

@Tulkastaldo

My favorite line from that movie comes right after that one when Rowlf mentions "taking myself out for a walk."

[Pooleman96]

"My belly-button blew up!" EPIC ROFL!!!!!!!!

[caitlinjane92]

It's hilarious how Rowlf keeps making Jimmy Dean laugh almost uncontrollably.

Rowlf- Hey Doctor, there's a hole in your headlights.

Jimmy- Naw, get outta here-

LOL!

[TheThomaslover1990]

That bit with Lassie was hilarious.

[fromthesidelines]

Rowlf was on "THE JIMMY DEAN SHOW" for the entire run of the series (1963-'66).

[FLPman]

Thank god for youtube

never thought i'd be so obsessive.. but my dream is to have a copy of every piece of jim henson footage..

who would've those of us on 40 would've gotten the chance to see his black and white commercials.

[FLPman]

Please post this whole doc.. please!

[Akira625]

I love it! Jim Henson just kept throwing Jimmy Dean off balance with Rowlf's antics! XD

[svpotts]

I really appreciate your posting this. I've wanted that documentary (and can't find it) for some time now. I taped it once from public television, but of course VHS is now obsolete...

[Rumpio]

You can still buy video recorders and tapes. It will be obsolete one day but not yet.

[FLPman]

Thank god Frank is still with us. He's behind some of the greatest films ever.

[mommabear3502]

Rowlf was also in Muppets Take Manhattan bc someone makes the comment, Something Smells! And everyone looks at Rowlf who asks why everyone always blames the dog. Or something along those lines.

[FLPman]

well yeah... he also has an entire scene where he works at the Kennel

[mommabear3502]

It's just that is the scene that always sticks out in my mind bc that made me giggle.

[Musiclover19]

I love Rowlf, he's one of my favorite Muppets. I wouldn't say he's a lost character though he sang on the Red and Green Christmas album and made small cameos on other muppet projects after the death of Jim.

[ljks1]

when was this?

[gorakismungo]

not sure exactly when rowlf started appearing on the jimmy dean show, but I can tell you that it was around 1964, 5 years before sesame street started.

[DreamDancer82]

Jimmy's having a hard time keeping a straight face! Jim Henson was a genius.

[otter61987]

I think I just split my lickety. XD

[dirtyfighter34]

hilarious

[satchmo7772000]

Pass the butter!

[disneynut06]

That was funny when Frank Oz said that. His voice sounded like a mixture of Animal, Sam the Eagle and Cookie Monster there. LOL. :D

[GregoriousGregori9]

Rowlf RULES!!!

[DreamDancer82]

Thank you! ROTFLMBO!
