The issues Captain Kangaroo had with CBS between 1980-1984 was CBS started to have their own morning news show and had to move Captain Kangaroo out of its time slot. Because CBS wanted to be competitive with NBC's "Today" and ABC's "Good Morning America". So, Captain Kangaroo got moved to earlier time during the week that didn't work out, then was moved to Weekends only for the last several years of its run.
Had the opportunity to him when he came to our local TV station where I worked as a cameraman in 1994. I was born in 1955 and loved that show. He was a guest on our morning show and everybody in the station, including reporters, producers,salespeople, engineers, people that worked the night shift came to meet him. A really nice man. I'm tearing up just remembering it.
endured and endured and endured ? the 1st time it occurred it should've been addressed. was enduring reason regarding need for fame ? Dire need of the money ? 🤔
This sounds completely FAKE. From what little I know. Bob was the same person in real life as on screen. But if any of it is true DO NOT tell me; I don't wish to know.
Do your own research. Everything is out there, including the court documents about him being accused and found guilty of child molestation. I loved this show as a child, but when so many children come forward and accuse one person of molestation, you kinda have to listen, regardless what good memories the person gave you. Keep in mind all of the priests and pervert uncles and grand-dads from that time that no one knew were pedos and all of the parents that helped to cover those secrets up. As for keeping his legacy for the children of that era, we have all grown up and are capable of getting passed it. He was found guilty and sentenced to more than 60 years in prison back in 1998. Lucky for him he was already old and would soon die in 2004.
I think part of the reason the show couldn't last as long as others is the Brady kids were already pretty far along when the series launched, especially the oldest ones, already in their teens. And, All In The Family and Sanford & Son were sitcom game-changers when they arrived on the scene. I'm sure ABC and Paramount were aware of those two facts, and realized the series couldn't be sustained, so they wrapped it up after the 5th season. And of course Reed was ready to move on.
They broke up for many reasons. Sleeping around wasn't it. They were poor businesspeople. When they split, years later they were going to be sued unless they made another record to fulfill their contract. Its a bad record, but interesting how disconnected they were.
If he had done that to me. I would have whipped mine out and shown him what I had. That might have shocked him into never showing me his business again. 😆 LOL
