Rowlf on The Jimmy Dean Show

[MollyKoenigStarGleek]

I will hold her hand. . . and I'll whisper sweet nothings. . . and then I'll bite her.

[zackman86]

Jimmy: Rowlf you didn't break the board

Rowlf: So what how often do you fight a piece of wood?

[atthewburns1229m]

This video is a favorite on Argentina

[Peaox]

Rowlf = my life

[JGCooney]

Too bad they advertised cigarettes on the show, now it can't go on broadcast television.

[balleand]

Welcome to republican land. Where cigarets are sponsors, men are handsome and Muppet are having girl troubles. What i wouldn't give bring it here,,,,

[pastorgeorgem]

Camel Ciggarettes was the sponsor lol watch out censors might have a fit

[Pikminlinkfan23]

"Watch-out folks jimmy has a new hit record."

Ha! That was funny,

[majormana1]

i love rowlf but there are somethings about him i will never understand. he is so serious and halirous at same time

[lotten16]

'i will hold her hand, and i will ??????(tell me what he says there), and then i'll bite her!!*grrrrrrrrrrrr*'

[CaptMARNEY]

@lotten16 "And I will whisper sweet nothings..."

[Tareltonlives]

"That's not flab. I've got a tiger in my tank!"

[gioshmedina]

I wanna know what happened to Rowlf and Barbara!!!

[twometertwo]

does anyone else think that Macho Man Randy Savage copied Rowlf?

[Tareltonlives]

@twometertwo So that's why I keep expecting for Rowlf to tell someone to slap into a slim jim

[A2345Will]

I'd walk a mile for a Camel.

[gaarasuri]

lol rowlf would totally be elvis's dog. :) that would be a match made in heaven!!

[eeocsfdo370]

Jim and Jimmy: two of the greats. RIP, gentlemen.

[ZNKChannel]

Dean may be gone, but here's a good way to but it: He's up in heaven with Henson & they can reminesce their favorite moments when Rowlf was on the show.

[zackman86]

Jimmy: Rowlf you didn't break the board

Rowlf: So what, how often do you find a piece of wood?

[TheIndianaMom]

@zackman86 I think Rowlf said, "So what. How often do you FIGHT a piece of wood?"

[Jeanniebelle420]

Woot!!!

[frankftw]

Wow, Jimmy was just a young man of 36 here...  RIP

[AlmightyToonGod]

R.I.P. Jimmy Dean

[trinconi]

RIP JIMMY =(

[N4EMP]

That was weird to watch in a good way. It felt modern somehow.

[nakamichiguy]

RIP Jimmy Dean. 

[SweetSue4]

Rest In Peace Jimmy.

[12Zwolf]

; Rest In Peace, Jimmy Dean, thank you for the entertainment.

Cheers!

[awkwarddude]

Indeed, Rest in Peace, Jimmy. The passing of an era. Memories of simpler times.

[XOkie]

RIP Jimmy Dean

[keca1430]

Loved watching this with my dad every week when I was a little kid, between 8 and 11 years old.

[BANJ0KAZ0OIE]

I have a Rowlf puppet at home. I use it to tell jokes, and I never fail. Rowlf is the best Muppet in history, case closed.

[collgoff]

Was the show on Before or after Mr. King Jr said his I have a dream speatch?

[chowpappy]

Yikes! I remember this show! I was young enough that I watched it for Rowlf, but still.....I'm feeling old now.

[MrColuber]

Let's smoke Camel!

[EchoBoomer1987]

Lets shave our ladies!

[SuperDude2569]

Kermit is nothing compared to Rowlf. Who do you think Jim Henson liked so much he had to get the licensing to when he was older for his muppets!! Rowlf rules!!

[TheThomaslover1990]

Well, Rowlf hasn't talked much since Henson died. Besides, Kermit was on TV years before Rowlf was.

[caitlinjane92]

Oh, I was hoping I'd find this on here! Thanks so much for posting it!

[miro108]

I'm a bit confused. Is that Jim Henson's Rowlf? But 1963-66 the Muppets hadn't been invented yet and even Sesame Street hadn't started, or had it?

[WiGgYof09]

The muppets had been invented and Sesame Street was not the first muppet production. It started with Sam and Friends, a small time show in washington.

[dtemplar21977]

The Muppets was introduced in 1955 with a show called "Sam & Friends". Kermit was the breakout star of the show.

[TheThomaslover1990]

However, this purple skull called Yorick was more popular.

[TheThomaslover1990]

It is, and the Muppets actually started in the late 50's with Sam and Friends. Look up, Muppets Celebration of 30 years and you'll see what I mean.

[commentreviewer]

What did Rowlf say at 7:45?

[fromthesidelines]

"THE JIMMY DEAN SHOW", for clarification's sake, was on ABC's prime-time schedule from 1963 through '66, 'tokyo'.

[tokyofreaky]

This is good!! How long was this show on the air?

[JPLOWMAN2]

speaking as a martial artist, there is some truth in that 'karate grunt' line. Supposedly, you can put some extra power into your attacks by exhaling as you strike. Similar principle in tennis.

[DragonAquarius]

Jimmy Dean once had Fred Flintstone on the show. The cartoon, not the guy who does the voice. Does anyone remember that?

[muskrat616]

Does anyone remember the segment where Jimmy sings to Rowlf "Big Bad Dog"?

It would be great if someone could post it.

[NickInfante92]

boots randolph before benny hills

[ToruKun1]

Rowlf is the best muppet ever. Everything with him is Serious Business. =w=

[fromthesidelines]

At the end, an ABC announcer reminds us that "THE LES CRANE SHOW" (he recently passed away) is on "later tonight" [at 11:15pm(et)]. Donald O'Connor then informs us he'll be the guest host on "this Saturday's" edition of "THE HOLLYWOOD PALACE" [December 19th].

[fromthesidelines]

Jimmy Dean had a somewhat successful variety show {guided by the same producer who brought you "THE GARRY MOORE SHOW" and the early "CAROL BURNETT SHOW"}, but every season he was on, he was scheduled on different days and/or times. After three seasons, ABC finally cancelled him. This excerpt is from a December 17, 1964 telecast, when the show was on Thursdays at 10pm(et), opposite NBC's "KRAFT SUSPENSE THEATER" and CBS' "THE DEFENDERS"...

[RingtailStudios]

Rowlf at his finest! I wish there were more segments with Rowlf and Jimmy Dean on YouTube.

[caitlinjane92]

@RingtailStudios So do I! I'd love to see them all.

[alwayssme]

omg, i can barely remember jimmy deans show, and rowlf, maybe repeats but remember, rowlf, thanx for the post and the memories

[imperialpod]

Great upload, thanx!

[opcomment]

charming video :)

[drxblog]

I went to a taping of the Jimmy Dean show when I was a child. It was sometime in the mid-sixties. Otis Redding appeared.

[Annefry]

Oh my goodness! My Mother told me today that when I was three years old back in 1957, Jimmy Dean came out of a restaurant in the town where I live. My parents and I were in the car. My Father asked Jimmy Dean to please talk to me and he did! Jimmy was just getting started on his career and was in his 20's. He was also with his band. I wish I could talk to him again now that I'm grown.

[irish89055]

i was two then and some of my earliest tv memories are his show(not when 2 but maybe 5 years old 1960-61).. him singing "on top of old smokey" i believe..Jim Henson lol.. Jimmy lives not far from me, near Richmond, Va.

[Annefry]

You wouldn't know how to get in touch with him would you? I live in Leesburg Va. It's about a 2 1/2 hour drive to Richmond for me.

My Mother said I called him "Jiggy Dean" and he and his band laughed. Wonder if he remembers? My sister thinks he would because the band probably didn't let him forget that some little kid called him "Jiggy."

[beelertank]

He Lives on The James River .I have seen him in the yard a few times.Go to his web site.He is a Big time Republican . I love him for that .

[jackhicko]

Who Framed Roger Rabbit? was nothing new... I remember Fred Flintstone as a guest on The Jimmy Dean Show.

[tiffanydione]

I love my Jimmy Dean!!! He's awesome and soooo sweet!!!!

[wfd57fatman]

Camel Time and a dog puppet... come along kiddies!!!

[sundowna]

the best were the commerciasls henson did then..to a 9 year old seeing early muppets blowing up..and eating another monster..i loved those commercials more than the show!

[Batchylnuevos]

Lordy my, could that man make some sausage? Yes'm!

[DreamDancer82]

Does anybody have the clip where Rowlf says "My belly button blew out." I saw a clip of that on some special or another, but I don't remember which one.

[gorakismungo]

yeh it was on a doco called "the world of Jim Henson." along with the clips with Rowlf mocking Lassie. I got it on tape somewhere but I haven't figured out the best way to put in on comp yet.

[manny5442]

@gorakismungo ...I remember Rowlf and Lassie but it seems I remember Lassie was his LOVE...then when Lassie was on the show...he was speechless...kinda like a little school boy meeting his "secret crush"...lol

[malsterling]

This is fantastic. There are a few clips on the "The World of Jim Hensen" videos that showcases how funny the Rowlf character was. Please, whoever has the rights to these episodes, realease them to the public. This stuff is priceless.

[CaptainRetro]

Great clip! Pat yourself on the back, dude!

[sophiegromit]

POST MORE JIMMY!!!!

[edlongus]

This brings back memories!! Those of us old enough to remember "The Jimmy Dean Show" can appreciate Jimmy playing straight-man to Rowlf each week!! Loads of fun, thanx for posting!! I sure hope you have access to more Rowlf/Jimmy Dean episodes??!!

[sicilianotoronto]

Rowlf is great, but Jimmy sucks. lol

[TsWade2]

Rowlf is so cute and cuddly.

[SpelCastrMax]

THAT WAS SO FREAKING AWESOME!!!!

[VaughnMichael]

i love this! and have always wanted to see it thanks for posting this please post more if u have them!

Man this should come out on dvd "the best of Rolwf the dog on Jimmy Dean!"

[amazingdavidman]

The best tobacco makes the best smoke, eh?  Makes sense.

Must... buy... camel cigarettes...

[50GallonDrum]

Apparently Rowlf was getting more fan mail than Jimmy Dean during this show.

[Sulz]

It's Camel Time!!. hahahaha
