as for Rowlf he first apppered on the Jimmy Dean Show, and was very funny on there. The first time we see Crazy Donald is on Sex and Violence, and then on The valentine show. he then was changed to Harry.

You're wrong on both counts, Dwayne.

Rowlf's first appearance was for the Purina Dog Chow commercials made between 1962 and 1963.

Crazy Harry (under the name Crazy Donald) first appeared in The Muppets Valentine Show (tx: 01/30/74). The name changed to Crazy Harry for Sex and Violence.

Yea the I was wrong i thought that Sex and violence was first, and I did forget about the dog food comercals. I don't know why because they are on one of the season sets on the Muppet Show. Sorry about that.
