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.
Jim Henson's "Rowlf" first gained a national audience on ABC's "JIMMY DEAN SHOW" (1963-'66), and appeared regularly on "OUR PLACE" during the summer of '67. Even though he was a regular "cast member" of "THE MUPPET SHOW" in the '70s, his popularity was eventually eclisped by "Kermit" & company...
Rowlf! In black and white, wow!

He was the first one I ever saw too.
I'm really glad to see Burns and Schreiber here. I have their albums, and a lot of "Wait Til Your Father Gets Home," but not the live action stuff.
