Re: Captain Kangaroo dies
I would think that most of us watched him at one time or another. His show was run for 30 years!
Bob Keeshan, who as the gentle Captain Kangaroo introduced the baby boom generation to television, died yesterday in Windsor, Vt., after a long illness. He was 76. Keeshan, with his Dutch-boy haircut, bottle-brush mustache and uniform coat with pouch pockets, was a non-threatening, grandfatherly presence on morning network television from 1955 to 1985, then for six more years on public television. Along with his gardening pal Mr. Green Jeans, the carrot-munching Bunny Rabbit and knock-knock joke fanatic Mr. Moose, Captain Kangaroo never patronized his young audience. In a statement, CBS Chief Executive Leslie Moonves called Keeshan "a true pioneer in children's television whose legacy goes unmatched." Although his family did not give a cause of death in the statement announcing his death, Keeshan had had a heart attack and triple bypass in 1981. More than 5,000 children sent him get-well cards and letters. From here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...l?nav=hptop_tb

Re: Captain Kangaroo dies
Another from the "kinder, gentler" time. I think if you're over 25 you'll remember him. Sad.
