... there was Captain Kangaroo.
Its a sad day for those of us who grew up watching Captain Kangaroo. Bob Keeshan passed away today. (Those of you too young to remember the Captain--well, just keep the old jokes to yourself.)
What can I say about Captain Kangaroo? Well, it was a long time ago, but I remember parking my butt firmly on the carpet in front of the TV every morning to watch him. My favorite part of the show was Mr. Green Jeans and his animals.
They don't make children's television like that anymore! I'm sorry but... the Teletubbies? Caillou? What the hell are those?
Rest in peace, Captain! You'll be missed.
