I love how they just talk normal, they don't dumb everything down or act all goody goody. Captain gets irritated at Moose for not trusting him with the carrots. :-) I grew up with this and loved it as a kid, am rewatching to see what went into my brain when I was 6--- I was in good hands!

The good Captain would probably want to be sure you understood that you meant to use the two-word "a part", and that the single-word "apart" (plus "of") means virtually the opposite, "separate from". Saying it wrong severely dishonors his memory.

The Captain captivated me so very much when I was young. He still captivates me with some surreal humor and whacked-out displays and demonstrations as an adult!!! He was able to tap into a different kind of collective consciousness. He bridged a gap between being a kid and being an adult who could present something incredibly whacked that would still resonate with any others with an open mind! Bob Keeshan was a genius!

He said it. Be kind to each other. Share what you have to share and do remember your prayers. That's how it was in the 50's and 60s. Good manners and kindness, honoring God and country. This is how he would often end his show. This was taught to us in school and on programs like Captain Kangaroo. We used to show respect to each other and God and country. It was taught and expected, like good manners. Not any more. We are violent brutal and selfish heathens. We honor and respect nothing and no one!

Bob Keeshan and Fred Rogers were the Alpha and Omega Gatekeepers of Childhood. Those two incredible men maintained a world where being a child was honored and never less than upheld. They were never demeaning, they never talked down to and never once displayed requirements for the child to become a miniature adult. They spent their time in UNDERSTANDING the unique gift of a child's Intellect and Sensibility while structuring their programs to specifically address and reflect each. They taught CITIZENSHIP in a child's own language and terms. They valued that much missing today quality known as FUN. Their programs created a safe world where a child was celebrated and affirmed as a unique, cherished, and equally valued human being. Creativity ruled. Imagination was endlessly coaxed and teased out; given full reign. PLAY of all sorts informed every single part. Bless these Men both, for their bravery, steadfastness and qualitatively concerned love.

The thing that strikes me so about this and other children's shows at this period of time was that music...MUSIC of all kinds were present and boldly featured in every aspect of story telling. Even in the cartoons of this time ...shows geared young minds and hearts to music! I'm afraid to say that now all we seem to have is a lot of yelling and booming and little if any melody or harmonics being presented to children anymore.

The ending to the episode was marvelous with a reading by the Captain of Ralph Waldo Emerson's "Father in Heaven We Thank Thee", followed by, I believe Perry Como's Prayer of Thanksgiving song while the Thanksgiving table was being set.

I figured with all the Captain Kangaroo clips out there, that this one would be among them since a number of others have commented to me in public and private how much this Thanksgiving scene meant to them growing up (as it did to me). A number of years ago, there was a yahoo group for Captain Kangaroo fans and I made many contacts with people also looking for this closing scene, but no one ever found it it seems. I read in several places that most episodes of the series were destroyed and/or lost and/or got wrote over. However, I have to believe somebody has this closing scene somewhere, and I will not stop looking for it.

My 4 year old butt was probably planted on the couch watching this while my mom did her morning chores when this aired. I loved the captain.

This was a staple of my childhood throughout the sixties. Granted, by 1968 I was in fifth and sixth grades, starting my first paper route and not watching much Captain Kangaroo, except for fun. I had also found Dark Shadows in the afternoons my then.

I must have been five or six when I saw this. What a different world that was. It is so sad how the world turned out.

Thank you so much for sharing this! The performance by Cosmo Allegretti as "that cool clown, Harley" 49:27 is very similar to one of my all-time favorite Captain Kangaroo memories. Does anyone one else remember this Harley character standing in front of the camera with his arms pointing out and some primitive special effect being used to stretch and compress his body as Bert Kaempfert's "That Happy Feeling" played? I have been trying to find that performance online for many years.

I’m sorry that so little 1960s Captain Kangaroo is ready available. (I seem to have dramatically increased what’s out there by digitizing and sharing two episodes I originally acquired on VHS in the 1980s.) I hope that a lot more survives, either at CBS or in private collections, and will resurface.

watched as a kid on WTEN ch. 10 in Albany, NY. On before the Captain, locally-produced Commander Ralph news show mixed with cartoons and 3 Stooges episodes. Really prepped my brain for school that day. Or not.

How wonderful that they began this show with two instrumental classics, "Puffin" Billy" by Edward White and "Lassus Trombone" by Henry Fillmore, cluing us in to the warm, friendly fun that was in store for us on that great show. Thanks for bringing this great memory back! Rest in peace, Captain and Mr. Green Jeans.

You know we don't even realize how much work went into all of these episodes of Captain kangaroo they were daily and sometimes 6 days a week! And he and it was quality it just wasn't something slapped on the screen. It was really good quality TV it's still good TV for adults

I was 4 or 5 when I was watching the captain, and there's things in this episode I kind of remember. I never realized just how weird this show was back then. And a tom terrific cartoon, dancing bear, town clown, the creepy bunny rabbit and I didn't remember the captain's weird acting, but also that it never spoke or played down to children. Watching it now it's weird, but at the same time for a kid with a short attention span it's easy to watch, not preachy or trying to overstimulate. Watching this I have to wonder if Bob was a big fan of Ernie Kovacks though..

I remember when the show switched to color and with a new open set design. I didn't like it at first but I remember within a year I had totally forgotten the old black and white version.
