Always woke myself up to go downstairs and watch Captain Kangaroo. Everyone else would still be sleeping. What a wonderful show. Dancing Bear, Mr. Greenjeans, Bunny Rabbit, Grandfather Clock, and never forget the stick figure cartoons of Tom Terrific. Wonderfully paced, Keeshan would just talk to the kids as if he were there in the room with you. I'm 70 years old yet I remember the show like it was yesterday. And oh, loved how the show's theme song would stop the moment Captain hung up his keys.

This version of the Treasure House set was my favorite, during the '60s. By 1970 or 71, they moved into the cheapified set. I was horrified, and things were never the same again. I didn't expect to see another episode from this time frame, since very few exist. I hope that more can be unearthed and shown again, especially where they show The Missing Paint Mystery specials.

Looking back at the date of its airing, I can remember three major life events of the time: 1) it was two months before my 6th birthday; 2) it was 2 1/2 months before, “…one giant leap for mankind.”; and 3) it was 3 months before we moved from Detroit, Michigan to Tombstone, Arizona. Despite my young life going through major stressers of the time, I still remember one daily calming influence for me: Captain Kangaroo.

One day, back when I was in grammar school, I was getting ready for school and Captain Kangaroo was on the TV. I heard a nice song on it that caught my attention (It's at the 24:15 time mark). I kept that song in mind from that day and never forgot it. Many years later, I tracked down the song on KZitem. It was about a puppet maker who wanted to see and hear his puppets to sing and play. The song was sung by Franky Avalon. I was glad to hear it again but wanted to see the show that I saw it on. I looked at a lot of Captain Kangaroo episodes but didn't find it. A few weeks ago I came across this video and went through it and, low and behold there it was at the very end of the show. Others have posted about the song on KZitem and also mentioned that they saw it played out on a KC episode a long time ago. Thanks JeffSabu for this and KZitem for a lot of other finds from the past.

Reminds me of the scene from Scrooged - Bill Murray takes the part of a Dog just to get into an act he hates just to get with a particular producer - and other scripts too that depicts the actors who are puppeteers are really quite the opposite of the characters they play. The Mary Tyler Moore Show had an episode like this too about a clown character who was quite nasty in real life. GOOD lesson to learn about how easily Hollywood hypnotizes audiences into believing actors ARE the characters they play.

i loved capt. kangaroo. when i was 4 i really thought what i saw on tv was all real and i thought all of the characters including the puppets were real. the show was like 'comfort food' or 'comford tv' for me long before the phrase had been coined and long before i knew i needed to seek out anything for comfort. . may 5th of 69 i would have just turned 7 a couple of months prior and first grade was winding down. i probably missed the ep. back then due to school unless it was rebraodcast during the summer months. oddly even though the show ran for decades much of it is lost forever. very few whole episodes remain intact. in the early or mid-70's cbs suffered a major fire. the sets of barnaby jones, the waltons and capt. kangaroo were greatly damaged. the tone and the look changed drastically. perhaps the shift in tone transpired before that. i always liked the show, but the 60's sets and tone are the ones i truly love since i witnessed them first hand as a child.

Let's not forget Hugh Brannum who played Mister Green Jeans among others. And Cosmo Allegretti who created and played Dancing Bear, Bunny Rabbit, Mister Moose, Grandfather Clock and many others. 😊

It was my parent's anniversary the day this aired and they were having me at the time. I was born a few months later.

My parents' red Persian cat was on the show. Mom told me how Mr. GreenJeans had orange face makeup and whispered "Catnip!" behind the camera to get our cat to meow. I have no idea how to find this episode!

They used to play Captain Kangaroo on the TV in the day room a lot. But, I never really watched it as I was trying play a game of Solitaire with a deck of 51 cards. Frustrating times indeed!

I was 8 and it's funny, I'd forgotten that tick tock kinda music, him and Mr Rogers definitely influenced me in a positive kind, empathetic way, my parents obviously taught me but these two guys I enjoyed very much.

When I was home down with the measles it was the Capitan that nursed me through it.
