Good Morning Captain Kangaroo. From 1976

[@iRunCircles]

I stayed over at my sons house last night. He wakes up his daughter's by sing the morning song,I use to sing to him so he would wake up happy. Tne Captain will always a big part of our family.

[@jimbuchelt307]

Captain Kangaroo & Mr. Rogers certainly earned so much more than all of our mutual respect, empathy, compassion, love, etc. They are both truly missed and cherished. They certainly earned their wings in Heaven. 😀

[@LISA61367]

My favorite childhood program. Watched every morning.

[@frankrizzo4460]

Yes same here, I would watch this with my Mom before going to school in the morning.

[@cliffordsangster4109]

Captain Kangaroo Mr Green Jeans Mr moose and bunny rabbit and grandfather clock and all of the raining ping pong balls I'll never forget you being a part of my childhood.

Good Morning Captian Really Love That

[@tranurse]

Don’t forget Dennis

[@calvinjackson8110]

My two favorites: Mary Tyler Moore and the unforgettable Margaret Hamilton!! GREAT to see them!!

[@paulettetull6921]

This version of the Captain Kangaroo theme song came to mind this morning as I was talking to my niece and nephew. Great memories of this show!

[@andymassingham]

Simple pleasure. It was always a thrill to see these cameos when I was young. It made me feel that everyone in the biz really DID know and like each other. A nice way to start the day in pjs with a bowl of cereal.

[@vickiestratton279]

Good morning to you captain miss

[@RayfieldA]

This show along with several classic shows from PBS, gave me such fond memories from my childhood. I don't know if children get the same type of quality entertainment today. I wonder if this type of show is what's needed for today's kids?

[@epicrapfan73]

They should have also had Big Bird, Robin Williams as Mork, Peter Falk as Columbo, Roger Moore as James Bond, Tom Selleck as Magnum P.I., Bob Denver as Gilligan and Robert DeNiro as Taxi Driver!

[@jasonbeard4713]

Bob Denver appeared as himself in 1977.

[@michaelslamon386]

I grew up watching Captain Kangaroo. I'm glad I was fortunate to have it in my life. They should make dvd's of the show. I'm sure they would sell.

[@vinylman6580]

Am I the only one who cry's tears of joy when I hear this song and think of such wonderful memories of the 70s and all of my family that have since passed on.🥲

[@po9318]

Bob Keeshan was a REAL American Hero in every sense of the word.

[@kevins.butler3402]

A wonderful intro to one of kids tv's most beloved educators...from a lot of famous people.

[@davidbreen311]

In the 70's the three main shows that if you were adult celebrity and appeared as a guest or were featured even for a minute you arrived. 1. Captain Kangaroo 2. Sesame Street 3. The Muppet Show

[@daveyhouston]

These are the openings I remember!! That was the Hudson brothers they had their own show for kids

[@albiegraydean3581]

The Hudson Brothers were absolutely hilarious when they did their opening. Of course, the Match Game bunch were at their most hilarious doing their opening. It was so funny to see Frank "Ferret Face" Burns (Larry Linville) do his opening, as smarmy as ever.

[@boristheamerican2938]

That must have been after their summer fill in series they had in prime time. I remember that English guy with the Emu puppet on that.

[@davidcoyle1084]

The Razzle Dazzle Show!

[@Blippity_Bloop64]

Great compilation! I remember watching back in the day and loosing my mind when the folks from Match Game did the intro. I didn't remember that the MASH cast did it as well. Well done!

[@albiegraydean3581]

When the Match Game bunch did it, you just knew they'd be as crazy as ever. That was a real hoot. It was not unusual that the cast of MASH did that, as most casts of shows that were on CBS at that time did it.

[@troypol343]

I used to watch this as a kid. I noticed three good morning clips were from Busch Gardens the Old Country in Williamsburg, VA.

[@andyleclerc3600]

Oh the memories. Always a treat to see who would be in the cold open. Loved it when the MATCH GAME cast appeared. A real treat to see Mr. Rogers and friends in the mix...'scuse me, I'm getting misty here, lol.

[@srb9]

No problem. You are not alone.

[@epicrapfan73]

They should have also had Big Bird, Peter Falk as Columbo and Bob Denver as Gilligan!

[@PlasmaCoolantLeak]

I watched the Captain in the early 60s. It was a hoot to see this with actors I recognized from shows I saw later as a young adult. Good stuff.

An absolute who's who of people with the time honoured "good morning captain", everyone from Radar, Hawkeye, and Ferret Face from MASH, to the always funny Match Game bunch, and Weezy Jefferson, Cher, Mr. Rogers, King Friday and Lady Elaine, the Bob Newhart Show gang, and those nutty Hudson Brothers thrown in for good measure.

[@sbyrstall]

Man, such memories. Saturday morning was the time. I didn't miss an episode. I wish there were shows like this again for today's kids. There isn't anymore.

[@morgan8757]

thank you for putting this up

[@ChrisBakerauthor]

Thanks for all these clips. I love that Fred did so many clipms. I figured it was mostly just CBS shows who did these

[@annmarie7488]

I think I watched Captain Kangaroo until I was 14. I loved Fred on Channel 1.

Fantastic. That was the best!

[@erickellogg8532]

thanks for the memories

[@robertfishman3742]

It’s too bad that this show isn’t available on DVD or live streaming.

[@1John111]

Indeed, I wish Captain Kangaroo was widely available to watch. Tragically, out of the thousands of episodes which were made (literally thousands were filmed) only a handful still exist. The Captain Kangaroo show was not saved and archived, which is a true loss for everyone.

[@srb9]

There have been 2 revivals and the rights are currently tired up.

[@1John111]

That might be part of it, but the shows themselves were not archived, so it is likely that many of the shows do not even exist anymore. Tragic.

[@srb9]

@@1John111 we won't know either way unless the rights issue is settled, *if* that gets settled.

[@kennethdemuchest3985]

I love this show. Good Morning Captain.

[@albertoealabanzajr9294]

Captain Kangaroo was my favorite show when I was a little boy. Good times

[@epicrapfan73]

I just wish I knew who those other people were, like the German guy, the bus driver, the artist, the woman with the baby, the British guard, the fireman, the taxi driver, the knight, the blonde woman with the purple hat and scarf, the kid on the diving board, the zookeeper, the woman watering her flowers, the guy in the red and white Middleton Lions shirt, the kids in the pool, the swimmer, the guy feeding the giraffes, the guy in the car and the two guys walking.

[@johnp4008]

So thankful to have had a complete childhood in a time period when this show was on. Thank you for everything, and Good Night Captain.

[@yared8771]

I'm sorry, and I miss you

[@kathrynmast916]

I grew up with Captain Kangaroo and adore him! Bunny Rabbit was my favorite because he was always up something. Sadly, most the wonderful people in the clip have passed away. One doesn’t really think of the great lose of talented people until one sees an assemblage of a such as this one.

[@BaileySEA]

It's hard to believe that this was some forty five years ago. And a lot of these people are dead or old. The guy in the pool was so young and beautiful, and now he must be in his sixties. Captain Kangaroo was such a big part of all of us. It's sweet innocence, inclusiveness that made us all feel better. And what a wonderful way to start your day it was!

[@tranurse]

I think he was Mark Spitz the swimmer

[@BaileySEA]

@@tranurse No, he was just a very cute young guy. Mark Spitz had a mustache, and was older.

[@epicrapfan73]

1:57 I used to think that was Red Buttons!

This is something that we will never see on a quality educational kids tv show..again..greetings to a beloved children's tv icon from alot of people..famous and the ordinary "Jane and Joe".

0:18 Mary Tyler Moore said, "Good Morning, Captain."

[@jeffwolcott7815]

I love that it has a bit of 'Puffin Billy' in it. Didn't the crew of the Enterprise also do a 'Good Morning Captain' as well?

[@ramonastallworth4332]

So he always walked in dangling his keys and when he hung the keys on a hook the music stopped and then he said " good morning " and the show started. But I am old.

1:04 " ... and to your little dog, too!" Lots of greatness in here, but Margaret Hamilton is my favorite. Given the urban legend about his father, Frank Zappa would have been a great choice to do one of these.

Bob Keeshan, who played Captain Kangaroo, was a marine at the very end of World War II, but he never was in combat and the war ended before he was deloyed overseas. There is a persistent, but totally false, urban legend about him being in combat, but it has no merit.
