Varity show starring Jack Burns, Avery Schreiber, Rowlf the dog, and the Doodletown Pipers with special guest Dick Shawn. Broadcast on CBS on July 23, 1967.
Wow, I haven't seen this series since its original airing, but down through the years I vaguely remembered the theme song, the Pipers, and of course Rowlf. Thanks for posting.
This is why I adore YouTube. I was a kid when this show aired, but I have no memory of it at all, though I remember the comedy of Bns and Schreiber pretty well. Thanks for sharing it.
Some people are describing the musical number as "clean", but it probably just seems that way because everything nowadays is so, well, "dirty"! I miss these kinds of shows, myself.....
jack burns is soooooooo annoying and bad. God, his huh huh huh bit is laaaaaaammmmme. No wonder he become a dummy on the crash commercials. That was truly his calling.

Rare find. I remember Avery in all the doritos commercials. Never saw him in a comedy act like this.

I remember this including the DPs singing the theme song and Rowlf. I loved the Smothers Brothers and naturally watched this in the summer.
