Sorry to ask the obvious question, but who is Captain Kangaroo?

a children tv show from the 50ies.

Actually, it's primary run lasted up into the 80s. I used to watch it occasionally when I was very young.

That's a bummer.

First Mister Rogers and now this. Damn.

I thought that he died a while back...but still, a bad loss. I remember watching him when I was a kid.

I'm with Nathan....I coulda sworn he died a while back! Maybe I was confusing him with Mr. Green Jeans.

Anyways, bummer.

I don't know who he is ether but today in a class somebody mentioned it and the teacher said they had thought he had died years ago...

Me too. I was thinking recently about how he'd do in Janeway's place, and was saddened about him being dead. Now I find out he was actually alive until recently. That's a shock.

Semper Fi, Captain Kangaroo.















Long ago, before Hoodie Doodie, he was a Marine.

So did I. I don't remember ever watching the show though, I was Sesame Street and Mr Rogers kind of kid.
