I'm lucky. I was too young for Howdy Doody and too old for Sesame Street. The Captain was my man!

[@TyroneEpps]

So.was mr. Green jeans

[@johnpivetta9120]

I was 6 year old when this aired I love capt. Kangaroo one of my favorites growing up in the 1960s

[@marthahubbard9463]

Takes me back to my childhood. I was born in 1956 and grew up watching the captain ❤ Thank you for bringing back happy memories 😊

[@paul9156c]

Me too, the theme music always put me in a good mood. Sometimes I feel I learned as much, or more from the Captain, as I did my teacher.

[@richshealer3755]

Would have been 5 years old when this aired. I've looked for images of the Treasure House and the front yard, especially the wood chest over the years. It's great to see them compared to my memory. The thing that surprised me is that desk and the wood chest seem so much smaller than I remembered. Mr Moose and Bunny Rabbit would use the wood chest when outside.

I was 6 yrs old then from Boston and captain I watched and Mr Rogers, they taught kindness and empathy, great influences, both of them.

[@Mary0614]

[@peterlund985]

[@burldawson]

How I enjoyed watching Captain Kangaroo when I was a kid.

6:19 -- The song featured in the Grange Explorers Club scenes is "Go-Go-Po-Go" by Percy Faith & His Orchestra. It is the B-side of his #1 hit "The Theme From 'A Summer Place'"

[@francescaknapp-benson8242]

We love him he has an absolutely supercalifragilistic show... Especially today!!

[@Inamorata.367]

Thanks for these,stores up wonderful memories of my youth.Sad that today's youth will newer experience such wonder.

[@johnwriterpoet1783]

I was born in 1953. I forgot a lot but the song brought back good memories!

[@kimholcomb6943]

I was three in 67' I loved this TV show.

[@Themaddprof]

So was I. Saw it at my grandmother's house.

THANK YOU for sharing this incredibly rare episode of Captain Kangaroo, from the era in which most people remember fondly. Be aware that the Saturday episodes weren't aired in color until later in 1967. This is wonderful. 2:33 the Captain's billboard has been cut and at 22:15, the commercial has been cut, for Armed Forces rebroadcast. The Tootles the tugboat segment can also be seen during another existing episode.

[@MrJoeybabe25]

I wonder why the Saturday episodes did not change over to color until about a year after the weekday show.

[@thetreasurehouse1742]

@@MrJoeybabe25 I don't know. I have been told, but cannot confirm, that the Saturday episodes were reruns beginning as early as 1965 or so through later in 1967. Again, I cannot confirm that statement.

[@ericgray4476]

WOW! Thank you so much for finding this and putting it on KZbin. I enjoyed it very, very much.

[@paul9156c]

Anyone while liked the Captain, is 👌 in my book.

[@leestoner4337]

I too was 5years old when this aired,if we could turn back time, simple and safe for kids to watch, better than the perverted garbage they have today.👌👍

[@lindaeasley5606]

Wow! I'm sure I watched this episode in 1967 at the age of 6 😊 It was my younger brother and I sitting in front of the tv while our mom went about her morning routine

[@1701echopapa]

In all the years I watched this show, I never noticed - the Captain was a smartass!

[@itiswhatitaintanditaintwha1427]

I was 2 weeks away from being born!

[@rdwwdr3520]

Can you please post more of these? You can't get them anywhere else. And are you editing them down or just removing commercials?

[@thetreasurehouse1742]

No, the edits were done because this is a print which was sent for rebroadcast to the children of the Armed Forces overseas.

[@davewanamaker3690]

Does anyone have the clip of where a sea lion visits the Treasure House and he gets loose. Mr. Green Jeans ends up chasing him with a broom while the Captain sits in a rocker and rolls with laughter? I saw it on a bloopers show in the 80s.

[@marksmith402]

Mr. Greenjeans....Jimmy Page's Dad!! Loved this show!! 😊

[@Believer78a]

Nice

[@paul9156c]

I was 11 in 67.

[@alanhumphrey4198]

Born 1955...I was 12 in December of that year.

[@marthahubbard9463]

Me too!

[@stephenr3910]

I wonder how the Andrews Sisters felt about having the Worm puppets lip syncing their voices.

[@kristinlambert8811]

Was this back when stores had captain kangaroo pull string plush toys

[@FreedomforHaiti]

Anyone know who that singing puppet is in the lower-right corner with the hat and curls? It looks familiar. I wonder if it was around four-to-six years later when I was watching?

[@amylyno]

I do not believe this was from 1967. I’m going to say 1963 or four.

[@PJJ492]

Except that he said Columbus discovered America "475 years ago."

[@johnmacek8347]

You mean 1867,?

[@johnmacek8347]

Corrections. 1957 not 67. Come On man ! 😅
