@bierce716 3 года назад

@@DianeJennings I remember that too. On the day he died, I was home from school for lunch- back then we lived close enough to school to walk home for lunch. When the radio said he was shot, I didn't get it right- the emotion of the announcer affected his pronunciation, and I thought he had said "shocked"... so I imagined that he had tried to get toast out of the toaster with a knife, which our mom said would result in our dying from being shocked. It wasn't until I went back to school after lunch and the crying teacher talked to us that I understood it correctly.

I grew up with Captain Kangaroo (early 1960's). I was too old for Mister Rogers though I think I would have enjoyed that show more. My favorite part was when Mr Green Jeans brought an animal on set (like a goat), and it just stood there eating while the captain visited with Mr. Green Jeans. I just liked seeing animals. The falling ping pong balls was a reoccurring bit. I remember the moose puppet and the rabbit puppet being a big part of the show (If I remember correctly). My memory is that the show would be interspersed with cartoons.

During most of its run, the show featured live actors and puppets, for example his neighbor Mr. Greenjeans (Live) Mr. Moose and Bunny Rabbit (Puppets). Bunny Rabbit was a constant source of havoc as his part of the show. Bob Keeshan did, in fact, love children but thought little of the programming offered to them and, hence, created Captain Kangaroo to be a better alternative. What's little known is that during WWII, Sgt. Bob Keeshan was a serious badass, loved by his men and feared by the enemy and known, or at least reputed to be, personally fearless. I used to really enjoy watching his show when I was little.

The Captain Kangaroo show was broken up with cartoons. The ping pong balls were a part of every episode.

@bobchisholm7487 3 года назад

Bob Keeshan made this show as a reaction against kids' shows that were basically just commercials for toy lines.

The PBS version of the show was more educational. The original CBS show did have the Captain doing commercials for Kellogg cereals and other sponsors, IIRC.

Thank you for my first look at Captain Kangaroo in decades. He was part of my childhood, back in the early 1960s. I actually hated when Mr. Moose would surprise him with a ping-pong ball dump. It reminded me too much of mean kids at school, who laughed at me, while I cried. That cost me 30 years' clinical depression, and any chance at a family of my own. But mostly Captain Kangaroo was good memories. And my life is much better, now. Stay safe.

My years of "capn' roo" as we called him was late 60's into the 70's. I was 4-7. My sister was 2 years older and watched it every morning before school. Before i started attending school i would watch captain kangaroo, sesame street, mr rogers neighborhood, and the electric company that had morgan freeman as a character. Saturday morning was cartoons. I was up at 6 watching them all. Usually by myself, followed by a baseball game in the afternoon.

I was way into this as a kid in the 70's. Later I realized that he seemed a bit drunk sometimes - almost like a children's Benny Hill. :) Thanks for the video, Diane (& Chewy)!

I was three years old when the Captain Kangaroo show came on the air in 1955. I watched it every day as a child and learned a lot from the show. The regular cast members that I remember are Mr. Green Jeans, Grandfather Clock, Dancing Bear, Mr. Moose, Bunny Rabbit and the Banana Man. The daily cartoon show that was shown during the time that I watch Captain Kangaroo was Tom Terrific. I am now 68 years old but still remember watching Captain Kangaroo every day like it was yesterday. When I was watching Captain Kangaroo it was on in the morning every day during the week.

@robertpearson8798 3 года назад

As a child in Canada in the 60’s I also grew up watching the Captain, but we had our own beloved children’s shows as well. One was Mr. Dressup with Ernie Coombs. Ernie started as an assistant puppeteer with Fred Rogers and came to Toronto with him in 1963 to do a show at the CBC. When Rogers went back three years later, Coombs stayed here with his own show and never left. The other was probably the most beloved Canadian children’s show in history, The Friendly Giant. It actually began in the U.S. but went to the CBC. The Giant lived in a castle and was always visited by Jerome the Giraffe and Rusty the Rooster. It ran from 1958 to 1985 with over 3,000 episodes.

I'm from Alabama. I often get told that I don't sound like I'm from here (I do. I sound like I'm from Birmingham) because I'm well spoken and have a good vocabulary. I also have countless public speaking, writing and acting awards. I attribute all of this to my parents plopping me down in front of Sesame Street, The Electric Company, Mr. Rodgers and Captain Kangaroo. Those shows taught me to speak, to reason, to empathize and helped place me in an accelerated elementary school program. I later got into a special high school for advanced arts learning. I totally think it was being addicted to these programs. They even taught me to read early. God bless PBS.

Yes, dropping the ping pong balls on the Captain was a running gag with Mister Moose. 😄 I loved the show and even had a Captain Kangaroo plastic bathroom cup for when I brushed my teeth.
