Heheh, I remember my dad hollering when it was time for supper, and I'd be a couple blocks away, playing with the other kids. We never seemed to get into danger outside. Some years later, I learned that some kids didn't want to go home for reasons more troubling than mine (I was having too much fun). Although none of us 'blue collar' kids had wealthy parents, we were better for shows like Captain Kangaroo. I never got to see Mr. Rogers until cable was on the scene (in my late teens), I know he was a good influence too.

He was amazing just like Mr. Rogers, Captain Noah those were the kind of people you wanted doing children’s programming because there were no hidden messages or ulterior meanings or it wasn’t some pedophile up there trying to do a kid show so he could meet kids or whatever everything was so pure and simple back then and these people truly gave a damn about the children who watched their programs and their main and basically only goal was to teach children and have fun doing it and at the same time the child has no idea that they’re being educated because it is made so much fun that they don’t realize they’ve been learning all that time. Now fast forward and we have Barney and we have Teletubbies etc. and look at what went on with them oh this Teletubbies gay in that Teletubbies gay and this one carries a person so he’s gay and Barney Barney is purple he’s gay and he talks with an effeminate voice so he’s gay like back in captain Noah’s day parents didn’t go looking for things that weren’t there they didn’t try to stir up controversy because they understood that this was educating your children and they loved it. Cowgirl Sally Starr hosted a cartoon show after school every day called “Popeye Theatre“ and it was all Popeye and related cartoons and we couldn’t wait to get home from school to watch and then there was another show that followed that and mom would make you your snack and put it on the TV tray and so you could eat your afterschool snack while you watch the program those were the days for sure we need to bring that back because today in general we are raising a whole generation of pansies, or as the younger generation calls them, snowflakes. Almost the whole generation of kids with the entitlement attitude lazy no work ethic not all kids mind you but there’s a large enough portion of them that I would say it’s crisis mode it’s crunch time. We took away God and made it unconstitutional to invoke his name in our schools then you took away educational programming on the scale of shows like Captain kangaroo Mr. Rogers neighborhood and then we told our children look out for yourself don’t care about anybody else as opposed to in captain kangaroo’s day, They taught children empathy and taught them to do the right thing

They have to be taught the real horrors of the world earlier than we probably ever knew of.

I had to reprogram myself to find love and happiness.Quick back story. Tortured with a knife in the bathroom of a home in Etna Ind by a young woman who threatened me with amputation of a certain part because I wet the bed. It was a big issue in the 50’s and 60’s. The next day the young woman locked me and my older sister Vandena, in back to back closets for a couple hours each day. Sorry to say it only made me stronger as I got older. I turned all that around. 3 yrs Army Germany.45 yr Electrical Engineering. Semi -pro Tournament Bass fisherman. Fossil collectors ( in the field). I am blessed with strong self will.More than normal people.I now worry for all children of all nations who are being mistreated.We are not and will not overcome this thorn in the fabric of society. No civilization can survive without protecting the children. So yes, sad to say, we are doomed.A flower cannot grow in poisonous ground,and all that other stuff. It’s a sad story, truthfully told.I’m majorly happy to have survived it all.

I asked him if he ever saw me waving into my TV. He said he saw me too! We laughed. I asked him some questions and we shook hands. The year was around 2000 or so. There will never be another like him!! I do remember when CBS was going to start him up again, I think it was CBS, I could be wrong.. Anyway, at the last minute (I will call it CBS) went with another guy, the guy with the beard near the end of your video. Must have been like a knife through Mr. Keeshan's heart.

This brought tears of loving nostalgia to my eyes. Thank you! I was one of those who grew up with the Captain. I'm 68 now, and still vividly remember several scenes with Dancing Bear, Mr. Moose, Grandfather Clock, Bunny Rabbit, and of course Mr. Green Jeans. My very first 'music video' memory was the Captain sharing beautiful movies of Swans swimming, set of course to The Swan by Saint-Saens. Quite possibly this encouraged me to later in life make my living in music. As much as the new guys who tried their best to fill those shoes, it was Bob Keeshan who taught me much while waiting to go to school. Thank you, Captain Kangaroo, Bob Keeshan, and thank DoYouRemember? for this loving tribute.

I watched the captain and friends in the early sixties whenever I could, he seemed to be such a nice man. Fast forward to 1987, I was a newspaper photographer and one assignment was to get a picture of Bob Keeshan while he was speaking at a local library. It was in a small auditorium at the library and I waited at the bottom of a stairwell off to one side looking out at the crowd of kids. My plan was as he came out to speak, I'd quietly move down front to get my picture and leave. Just before the event started, I heard footsteps coming down the stairs behind me. Glancing back toward the stairs, it was Keeshan all by himself. He sidled up next to me to see how big the crowd of kids were there. My mouth dropped and it was like a “ Do you know who you are?” moment. Not knowing what to say, I just blurted out how as a kid I was huge fan and started naming all the characters on the show. I did get stuck on the cartoon kid who drew on the magic drawing board. I tried to remember, but Bob says, “Come on now, you know, Tom Terrific.” He was a genuinely nice man and we chatted a bit until he had to do his speech. My only regret is I didn’t get a picture of us together.

Growing up in Northeastern PA, I watched the Captain on WDAU - TV 22 from Scranton. My Dad briefly worked there in the mid 50's and I later in the early 80's, just before they changed call letters to WYOU. As a kid, my Uncle Steve (he & my dad were professional photographers) took me to the studios and I got to not only meet the Captain but also Mr. Green Jeans (Hugh Brannum) who lived in East Stroudsburg, PA. Hugh even stopped by to see my dad & uncle to ask about a camera he had purchased. By the time he left most of the kids from the neighborhood were waiting to see him outside of the studio/house! Great memories of growing up in the 60's & early 70's!

His face seemed vaguely familiar, but when I heard his voice...it was Bob Keeshan. Now here I was a 32-year-old Priest, and I was like a 5-year-old again, having just met one of the most influential TV personalities of my youth. (The other, "Officer" Joe Bolton, of WPIX, had introduced the 3 Stooges to NY television.) Mr. Keeshan was so gracious, and he was very moved as I shared my memories of him.

I did not always have the easiest childhood. But this show, head and shoulders out of everything else on TV, made it more bearable. To this day I marvel at the kind, gentle and humorous world that Keeshan presented to hurting kids like me. He was the dad I never had and I will be eternally grateful for those early morning hours, especially in the summer, where I could join another, more kindler world with the Captain and all his friends. You might remember in the 70s that Friday was always the day the ensemble cast would do a show-long sketch. So Fridays were always special. But the most special of all, at least for me, was the last weekday before Christmas - there was always a special Christmas show on that day and I will cherish those memories forever.

The speech Rogers gave congress (which can be found on YT), single handedly saved PBS and is one of the most elegant speeches, you will ever hear, in under 7 minutes. And the speaker was like "Well, I think what you are doing is fantastic and I'd really like to see your programming. And you just earned yourself 10 million dollars, to keep programming like this on the air". So yes, both he and the Captain did wonderful things for children's television and education.
