Rowlf Fan here. How many others out there?

[CharlesK6]

Hi, I am new here and am a Rowlf fan. Was wondering how many others there are here. I recently found my old Rowlf hand puppet.:cool: Charly

[frogboy4]

I miss the old brown dog too! I hope they bring him back (via Bill Barretta) in the future. It's not riight having the Muppets without the likes of Rowlf and Scooter!

Rowlf is my favorite muppet character. I miss him very much.

[Pschtyckque]

Rowlf was always one of my favorites as well. I was just listening to my Ol' Brown Ears is Back album the other day. Gawd, I miss Henson.

[Fozzie Bear]

HIYA!!

Hey, I miss good ol' Brown Ears. At the LIVE Muppet Show, Bill performed Rowlf and it was PERFECT! I think, anyhow! I was SO glad to see and hear Rowlf, I think I cried. I cried at the end of that show.

Wait, forget about that. Don't tell anybody I cried okay. Maybe nobody will notice.

Later,
FOZ :)

I really love Rowlf too. If I hadn't been known as Dr. Teeth over at the old board, I'd take a Rowlf Avatar...

One of my bigger ambitions in life is to be a piano player like Rowlf...

[Fozzie Bear]

Dr. Teeth is a rockin' piano player also; Rowlf is more classical of a pianist. Either one is groovy. Hmm. Maybe you could be kind of like both Dr. Teeth and Rowlf...but, then, would that make you Dr. Bob?? Geez, hope you don't gross out at the sight of blood, doc.

Tune in next time when Dr. Bob tickles the ivory and cures an elephant.

Hiya! Woof woof! yeah! Bark bark! Here's another Rowlf the Dog fan! How could ya not love that loveable dog! My favorite part about Rowlf his is floppy ear's especialy when he's playing the piano!

I have created a rowlf hat and some day hope to market it:D


Zack)Rowlf the, Ya can't live with e'm, ya can't live without e'm, Dog.

[Fozzie Bear]

Go to the hobby store and buy you some of that foam sheet stuff that's really thin that you can use to make some of those hats. I'll buy one from ya!

FOZ

[CharlesK6]

I see I am not alone. Lots of Rowlf fans here! Lets hope the powers that be are listening and they bring ol' Rowlf back to tickle the ivorys once again.
Zack, I would buy a hat from you also.
:D Charly

I didn't notice and I was sitting right next to you! :p

Seriously though, Rowlf is my 2nd favorite character. He's so cool, calm and collective. Taking the quiet and philosophical approach (or non-approach) on issues from time to time; or being loud and outspoken at others.

Two of my favorite Rowlf Moments: "English Country Garden" with Fozzie at the piano in the Jaye P. Morgan episode of The Muppet Show (I've only ever seen the portion in The World of Jim Henson documentary); and Rowlf's two introduction scenes in Muppet Family Christmas with the "exhausted" joke, slipping on the icy patch, the "out-of-tune piano" and chatting with Sprocket.

Were I given the command of a starship, he'd be my top choice as First Officer. He can be my Number One any day.

Hi,

I like Rolwf and think it's a shame he died with Jim. But then so did Dr Teeth. I like him too. I also like Janice and Sweetums but they have both sliped to just being part of the background in the films. Sad:(

Bye,
Bovegard

[Drtooth]

OOOOH YEAH!!! ROWLF WAS THE MAN!!!! okay, now that that's out of the way, I'd like to say, I miss Rolwf. It's kinda discouraging, though. You see, he's one of the characters they don't use cause they can't find a suitable replacement for a passed Muppeteer. He is amoung the group as Scooter, Dr.Teeth, Forgetful Jones (on Sesame), Link Hogthrob, and many many others to name. It's just too bad. I got an old Rowlf figure from the 70's Muppet set, but the paint on his nose scratched off. I love that little dog and hope that he comes back.

Check out some earlier posts in the thread. Rowlf has indeed found a replacement.... or, a "continuer", if you will. Bill Barretta displayed a fine performance of Ol' Brown Ears just this past December in Muppet Show Live!. None of us could believe our little inferior human ears: it was Rowlf, in the fur! Bill was really dead-on for Jim's voice, although I did sense a hint of Bobo in there; but just a tad.

According to Bill himself (as he has posted here at MC in the past), he also donned the canine for Muppet Treasure Island and Muppets From Space.

Hopefully, we'll begin to start seeing some more of Rowlf in future projects. I know I'll be looking for him in this year's It's A Wonderful Muppet Christmas Movie.

[Raech]

Oh I would love to see Rowlf in the New Fox Muppets, also in the Halloween Special on NBC.

... "a skunk was badgered the results were strong... I hope that something better comes along..."

[Drtooth]

This one is for scarecroe. I have seen the light. Indeed, someone is now performing Rowlf. The sad thing is, he isn't there that much. He does have cameos, of course. The newest Muppet Movies did feature him (mostly nonspeaking) and on Muppets tonight (too bad it was only for a second and all he said was "Yeah") and in the Muppet Racemania game. And I like that word, "continuers" much better than replacements. Someone who does not replace Jim (or Richard, for that matter) but continues the role for them. Thanks again, man!

[scarecroe]

Hey no problem, bud. Yeah I was just as excited as everyone else when Rowlf strolled onto that stage with such a big part. He actually had a full sketch with Kermit, stage right at Kermit's desk. Fantastic stuff. Keep your fingers crossed for more of him in this year's Xmas movie. There were also rumors floating around of a classic character or two showing up in Kermit's Swamp Years and Rowlf was one of those probosculated upon; although I think someone may have confirmed having seen younger versions of Statler and Waldorf puppets lying around, but I could be wrong.

Anyway, here's to the continuance of Rowlf!

[Drtooth]

Too bad that I didn't have any money, so I could have gone to Muppetfest. I REALLY wanted to go. But anyway, I want to get Rowlf's new figure or (if I had PS1 or2) Muppet Racemania. I hope I can find my old Baby Rolwf Doll. Im just can't seem to remember what box it was in!

Done, but now I think they're stuck.

Rowlf was a great character; his duet with Kermit was one of the best parts of the Muppet Movie.

Sometimes, I have a duet with myself. They're giving me medication for it now, though.

[JaniceFerSure]

Rowlf rules.I loved him on the Jimmy Dean show,the sketch with him and the puppy singing What a Wonderful World(TMS) & the duet on the piano with Fozzie(of course in TMM singing with Kermit I hope that something better comes along. :)

Rowlf:Not often you see a guy that green, to have the blues that bad.-TMM

Rowlf:Can you play 'hatless'?
Fozzie: I don't know,who wrote it?-TMS

:smirk:

[Klonoa]

My dad's favorite Muppet is Rowlf. Says he liked to see Rowlf on the Jimmy Dean show.

[McFraggle]

Rowlf is one of my favorites too.

[Whatever]

I like Rowlf too. I don't tend to pick favorites. :sympathy:

[Aaron]

rowlf is my favorite

[rexcrk]

I love Rowlf! He's such an awesome character. One of the greatest "jokes" with Rowlf that I like is when he speaks dog, when all he is doing is saying things like "Bark bark! Yeah woof woof!"

[Baby Rowlf]

I love Rowlf too!:)

Of course, the Baby version has his charm, but they never did the adult version justice when they turned him into a MUppet Baby. :sympathy:

[floydnjanicefan]

Rowlf is great! He is one of my four favorite Muppets (Rowlf, Kermit, Gonzo, and Janice). I also would love for him to make a comeback with the Muppets, and I honestly think that he will soon (along with Scooter and the Electric Mayhem). In the Very Merry Christmas movie, Rowlf was in the background in so many scenes - a big improvement over his roles in Christmas Carol, Treasure Island, and Muppets from Space. I think that they are just working him back in gradually and sometime soon, he will regain his prominance in the Muppet universe. At least, that is what I am hoping... Rowlf rocks! :sympathy:

[Muppetsdownunder]

I love rowlf, I like him probably even more than kermit, definately one of my favourites. I love the old 70s fisher price hand puppet which I found in a junk shop last year in near mint condition for under 25 cents too! Its probably my favourite muppet item.
