RFD's on-demand service.
RFD-TV is a television and radio network from Omaha, Nebraska. Launched in 2000, their programming specializes in serving the "needs and interests of rural America".[1]
In 2017, RFD acquired the broadcast rights to The Jimmy Dean Show, airing episodes from the series in high definition for the first time. Beginning with the episode originally aired on September 26, 1963 as the second in the series, RFD has broadcast a majority of the original 86-episode run, 85 of which feature Jim Henson as Rowlf the Dog in the Muppets' first rise to national fame.
The network aired episodes out of chronological sequence, and assigned a season and episode number based on their own schedule. The following table correlates the guide from RFD's "Country Club" subscription service with the authentic episode numbers associated with the original 1963 to 1966 broadcast order. The online listing does not account for several episodes: 101, 107, 205, 207, 220, 224, 314, 326 (110 and 215 were broadcast by RFD, but do not appear on the streaming site). RFD's re-numbered "S-3, E-24" and "S-3, E-26" were scheduled to air in 2019; the remaining 8 episodes are not licensed for broadcast by RFD.[2]
