The Jimmy Dean Show: Episode 310

Taped at ABC Studios in Miami Beach, Florida, the usual set is replaced by a fancy hotel lobby. For the opening theme Rowlf the Dog is briefly seen downing a double-straw drink at the bar.
During his usual spot, Rowlf recites a poem he wrote about the Thanksgiving dinner he had yesterday: "... And then I ate a little more, I guess I was a glutton/Because when I got up to leave, I've popped my belly button!" Rowlf explains to Jimmy Dean that he spent the holiday at Jackie Gleason's house, where he was appalled at the other guests' table manners (revealing he had confused the finger bowl for a beverage). Despite the "No Dogs Allowed" sign posted outside, Rowlf found a way to sneak in: "I put on ballet slippers and pink tights and I sneaked in as a June Taylor dancer!" Jimmy tells Rowlf that he couldn't make it to Gleason's house since he was preparing for the show, and had dinner alone in his hotel room - grits and buttermilk. (Rowlf: "What are you, some kind of a health nut?") Rowlf feels like a skunk leaving Jimmy alone, but makes up for it by bringing out his "people bag" of leftovers. Jimmy is touched and the two vow to be together, leading to a duet of "We Always Will Be Together."
