Hello Captain Kangaroo.. it was nice seeing you again.. oh, how long ago that was when I sat in front of the tv, watching you.. the years have not been kind.. I'm 53 now.. I'd like to say when I was 5 years old, I was happy.. but I'd be lying.. but sitting in front of the tv, watching you made me smile, if only for a few minutes.. especially when those ping pong balls fell on you.. I would laugh.. probably the only time during the day I would do that.. Thank you for letting me sit a few minutes, and watch you again... may you rest in peace. 💝

[@kevinbirge2130]

I thought I would watch a few minutes out of nostalgia. I watched the whole show. This was a truly great show.

Captain Kangaroo a major part of my early childhood of the 70’s. I miss those days our world has changed so much and I wish we had shows like Captain Kangaroo, Howdy Dowdy, Zoom, Electric Company, & CBS Children’s Theater.

I loved this show. Life was so much simpler and innocent back then..kids actually played outside with each other, getting fresh air and lots of exercise every single day..parents were more interactive with their kids instead of everyone staring at a phone/computer screen much of the day. It was a wonderful era.

What?! doesn't anyone else in this class watch Captain Kangaroo ?? Because the Captain gave us all the answer, barely an hour ago !

As a latch key kid the Captain was like my kindly grandfather who was there just for me. He spoke to me like I was a person just like him. He was my friend and I loved him very much. Watching this gave me such joy even now as a senior.

Loved Captain Kangaroo. Always watched it as a kid. Mr. Moose, Mr. Green Jeans & Dancing Bear were my favs. The best times of my childhood.

I watched this show everyday while the rest of my brothers and sisters went to school! They should make a blu ray or dvd of this show I would buy it and so would alot of other people

I started off in afternoon kindergarten, so I still got to watch the Captain at first. Halfway through the year, we moved. At my new school, I was in morning kindergarten. That first day, my mom got my me ready for school. My little brother sat on Granny's lap watching Captain Kangaroo. I cried like a baby.

[@loriepearman7184]

My little sister stayed home, and I had to go to school. I wanted to stay home, eat Cap’n Crunch, and watch Captain kangaroo

[@pavman1000]

Wow! what good memories. I wish the Captian was still around for today's children. He was so great to the children! Him and Mister Rogers are what is missing from children programing today if it exists.

[@keithacenas205]

One of my favorite morning show growing up? “ I always had that theme in my head! How time goes by

[@BC-kx5zb]

Most Kids now a days kids don't play like this anymore, they sit on their phones taking selfies, or at home on the computer or ps4 playing video games, or either smoking pot. What happened to the good old days when kids actually played outside.

[@riograndelocos9639]

Computer games are probably better than being at the park. Games like Minecraft, lets kids spend their creativity without the hassle of getting tired, wasting construction/crafting materials. The only cost is a good computer. ~$600. Which is great for a thing that can last at most, 10 years. The second thing is Minecraft. A quick search on google leads you to purchasing Minecraft. You can either go to Walmart and buy the gift card, or put your credit card details in. Don't worry, Minecraft is a secure website and won't sell your information. The price of Minecraft is about $25 last time I checked. Minecraft on a good computer is a lifetime of happiness. It's worth the cost. Spending time at the park isn't as fun as building your own communist regime or a house of your dreams. You wouldn't understand though, you're probably long retired and think us gen z are dumb and retarded teenagers who bitch about global warming, look at our Instagram pages cuz we don't want to get jobs and fail all our school grades. It's ok boomer, I don't care what you say, I'll care about my problems, you care baout your own.

[@jediskunk67]

Not true, I have seen lots of children playing outside!

My favorite Captain Kangaroo episode was the one they would show on Thanksgiving morning. They showed the balloons being inflated for the Macy's Day parade. 40 years later when I was living in NYC I went to see the balloon inflation one Thanksgiving eve. Being from the Philadelphia area Capt. Kangaroo was always second fiddle to our own beloved Captain Noah. Capt. Noah was the #1 show for years beating even the Today show at times and of course easily beating Capt. Kangaroo. Thanks for posting.

There is an episode from 1968 where Mr Green Jeans shows the Captain his new watch that can open and close doors - a smart watch. :-) I loved this show!
