What I find the most interesting is that when Jimmy hits Rawlf with the tongue depressor, Jim was quick to respond as Rawlf by grabbing his eye. Puppets were so second nature to him even so early on in his career.

After Rowlf’s line about the hole in Jimmy’s headlight......the way Jimmy was leaning over the fence and breaking himself laughing, I could only imagine him and Jim Henson exchanging looks and Jim H. giving Jimmy that “Yeah I got ya good that time!” type of look!! 😁👍

I recently heard Jim Henson would ad libbed specifically trying to make him break.

I feel like Jim H. gave him a look that said “you’ve met your match dean”😂

Jim Henson's first big break. Dean was always sincere and talked to Rowlf like he believed he was real - that's why it worked so well. Henson gratefully offered Jimmy Dean 1/2 share in the Muppets (worth 100s of millions later) but Jimmy turned it down thinking he didn't deserve it - and to his death swore he never regretted it.

And now, the origins of the continuing stooooooooooooooory of a quack who's gone to the dogs.

"Hey, what happened to the popsicle?" LOL!

jimmy had the best laugh when rowlf got him cracking up..omg this was such a good show!!

Thank you Defunctland for showing me the way to this.

Jimmy's laugh at 4:12 - he clearly wasn't expecting that comeback from Rowlf.

Dean set the standard for interacting with Muppets, as far as I'm concerned. When I was a kid watching these wonderful live shows, I loved when Rowlf (Henson) broke Dean up completely. My parents tried to tell me it was all scripted, but I knew better!

_"Hey, what happened to the popcicle?"_ is still a favourite of mine whenever I have a trip to the doctors 😊

Part of this was on The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years.

That show was so good in so many ways. Our whole family sat around the TV and enjoyed that show. It had entertainment that pleased everyone. Dad and I rolled with laughter at every Rowlf session. Just took good! Too bad no one can make a show this good anymore.

Rowlf is so cute and cuddly.

This sketch is now 55 years old!

Thank you,i loved it a lot. It made me happy! I was a little girl back then in Manhattan.❤😊

When I grow up, I want to be a country musician’s silly dog sidekick

Was just randomly watching this on June 13th after rewatching the Defunctland special. Didn't realize today marks the 12th year anniversary of Jimmy's passing. Didn't know much about him but going off this alone, he must've been a real class act.

He always had fun with Rowlf!!

Jimmy was a lovely human!

That's pretty awesome that he legit made jimmy laugh lol wish a show like this could still exist but peeps just couldn't handle it. Not "stimulating: enough I guess

Hey doc there’s a hole in your headlight 😂

Gah! I've been longing to see this one! :)

HeySplurge Me too! I absolutely love the Muppets (especially their early history) 😊

I never thought I'd see this in its entirety, I've seen at least 3 different sections over the past 25 or more years

The audience really loved this one.

This came out 30 Years before I was born *(to the Day)* No wonder it's one of my favorites *:)*

I never knew a show like this existed! Hilarious🤣

I remember this as a child, Rowlf and Jimmy, not this episode. Loved Rowlf.

4:34 LOL

Thanx, a bagel, so so much for sharing this treasure! Haven't seen it in its entirety since first-run way back when. Rowlf forever!

"Maybe I got the virus". Oh dear.

MY BELLY BUTTON BLEW UP!

Thank you so much for posting this. My does it make me really happy!!.💕

Clips from this skit were used in "The World of Jim Henson."

Rowlf Is By Far The Second Oldest Muppet, The Oldest Is Kermit.

Rowlf: "MD=Miserable Doctor" LOL

Love that dog

This is so cute you can see the guy working with Ralph it’s just going along with it and laughing lol

To clear the confusion, Kermit was the first Muppet to become a star on local television, while Rowlf was the first to become a hit with a national audience.

Jimmy Dean was an honest man, as well as talented - people like him are happy with what they got. He'd be the type to say, " you caint take it with you!"

Heard of Jimmy Dean, muppets brought me here. Didn’t realize Jimmy was a pretty boy.

Poor Rowlf I feel bad for him even though he's a muppet dog. How can he get over this flu?
