I always enjoyed Capt. Kangaroo as a kid.

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.

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.

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 . . . . . .

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).

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.

They should make a movie about him rising from the dead.  They could call it THE RETURN OF ROO or something

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
