http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=494&ncid=762&e=1&u=/ap/20040123/ap_en_tv/obit_keeshan I always enjoyed Capt. Kangaroo as a kid. Title: Re: RIP Captain Kangaroo Post by: Velvet Brotha on January 23, 2004, 04:40:17 PM Awwwwww... me too... that's very unfortunate. God bless his soul. : (
Title: Re: RIP Captain Kangaroo Post by: ulthar on January 23, 2004, 06:22:27 PM God Bless .. you'll be missed.
Hope his shows are well preserved... Title: Re: RIP Captain Kangaroo Post by: Scott on January 23, 2004, 07:03:33 PM Watched him many a Saturday morning just after the early morning Western.
Title: Re: RIP Captain Kangaroo Post by: Ellie on January 23, 2004, 09:55:16 PM I remember sitting at my little table with the ABC's printed on it ..eating cinnamon toast watching Captain Kangaroo. I was four years old. That is one of the earliest memories that I have.
Title: Re: RIP Captain Kangaroo Post by: Brother Ragnarok on January 24, 2004, 03:21:01 AM I'll bet he's being chased around Heaven by an unruly seal right now.
Brother R Title: Re: RIP Captain Kangaroo Post by: Grumpy Guy on January 24, 2004, 03:24:56 AM May God rest his soul. I don't think anyone had ever done as much for children through television as he did. He will be missed.
Title: Re: RIP Captain Kangaroo Post by: onionhead on January 24, 2004, 05:45:55 AM Ah, Keeshan and Fred Rogers are playing a hand of pinochle with Shari Lewis right about now, with Lambchops roasting on the spit. Wait, I sense another thread coming on . . . . . .
Title: Re: RIP Captain Kangaroo Post by: Deej on January 24, 2004, 01:03:49 PM Former Marine Bob Keeshan...God's Speed and Semper Fidelis.
Title: Re: RIP Captain Kangaroo Post by: trekgeezer on January 24, 2004, 06:15:01 PM He's probably getting ping-pong balls dumped on his head right now because of Mr. Moose. Ahhh......Bunny Rabbit, Mr. Greenjeans, and Grandfather Clock. Many a childhood memory in that show. I was too young for his other gig, which was Clarabell the Clown on the Howdy-Dowdy show. So Bob Keeshon entertained about four generations of children (he never let anyone use the word kid on his show).
Title: Re: RIP Captain Kangaroo Post by: Scott on January 24, 2004, 08:34:15 PM I clearly remember the ping pong contest with the clear glass bows. The kids would have to bounce them into the bowls with the music of trumpet player Herb Alpert in the background.
Title: Re: RIP Captain Kangaroo Post by: Eirik on January 24, 2004, 09:21:21 PM First Jim Henson, then Fred Rogers, now the Cap'n...
Sad day. Title: Re: RIP Captain Kangaroo Post by: Savannah on January 25, 2004, 12:54:52 AM Not to mention Charles Shultz... I'm wondering where the good ones are for today's children? ///// well.... still wondering. Mr. Rogers and the Captain... kind hearted men
Title: Re: RIP Captain Kangaroo Post by: The Burgomaster on January 25, 2004, 09:00:47 AM They should make a movie about him rising from the dead. They could call it THE RETURN OF ROO or something
Title: Re: RIP Captain Kangaroo Post by: Flangepart on January 26, 2004, 12:58:08 PM Semper Fi, Capt.
Mr. Greenjeans was a Marine ,too. btw. Title: Re: RIP Captain Kangaroo Post by: raj on January 26, 2004, 02:18:42 PM Hmmm, since they're gone now, maybe Andrew could have a second career. How about a zombie as a sidekick?
