So many memories. I’m 74 and I’d rather go back and watch this than the news.

Back in the days when childhood was precious, protected and enjoyed. Those days are long gone.

I just turned 70, I remember watching Captain Kangaroo every morning. Funny, he looked so old back then, but he's clearly a young man. Miss those days of innocence and simplicity. I feel so sorry for kids today.

I'm 68 now. As a kid I absolutely loved this show. I was mesmerized. What wholesome entertainment for kids. Thanks for showing this.

Captain looks so young. When I was a kid he looked 100.

I grew up watching Captain Kangaroo! I loved this show.. Even the music was pleasant. RIP Captain and Mr. Greenjeans❤️

Simple innocent times, I remember watching Captain Kangaroo in the late 50’s. Great memories.

I was born in 56. I remember watching captain kangaroo all the time when I was alittle older. Awesome days.

I'm 71 now.I grew up with this show in the 1950's - wonderful memories.

I feel so so privileged to have grown up in the 60’s! Such a simple time. Lord bless us and help us get back to the innocence we had back then.

I loved Captain Kangaroo. He was gentle, kind, and unassuming. Yes, these days are gone, but thank God for people who recorded them.

I didn,t come along till 1957 but The Captain was waiting for me. God, I feel like a kid watching this again at 65 yrs. Thank You So Much!!!!!

At the end of each show. Capt Kangaroo always told us. "Remember to say please and thank you."

Many memories. Kids were not forced to grow up as quickly as today.

I grew up in the 50's and watched this every day. Woke up and ran to turn this on while mom made my breakfast. Such wonderful memories.

My brother and I never missed Captain Kangaroo! We ate our breakfast and drank chocolate milk from our Captain Kangaroo cups as we watched. What a special part of our childhood.

I used to watch this every day. I also watched Romper Room, Bozo the Clown and Garfield Goose with Frazier Thomas. My childhood was so different than the kids today have. We learned a lot from these shows. I know they look corny now, but we sure loved them!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

One of my favorite childhood memories is watching Captain Kangaroo in the mornings. Loved watching him and Mr. Green Jeans, Bunny Rabbit, Mr. Moose, Dancing Bear, Grandfather Clock, Tom Terrific (with Mighty Manfred the Wonder Dog), and everything!

What a time to be growing up in. It was a pleasure. Love that culture, love that time, and love that innocence.

Loved Captain Kangaroo!! Those were truly the “good ole days”. Too bad it isn’t like this anymore.

I'm so glad I wasn't exposed to all this violence and obscenity when I was a kid.

We used to watch Captain Kangaroo in the morning before the bus picked us up...those were the golden days...no worries, no stress and the world was right to us kids 😊

What a pity that children today do not have good programs. I loved Captain Kangaroo!

How I loved Captain Kangaroo. I would grab my pillow and head for the TV. Such innocence and goodness.

You got to love people who love kids. Rest in peace Captain and Rogers. You helped.

“The keys to the Treasure House.” They really were, we just didn’t realize what a treasure it was.

I am 73 years old and can still hum that opening theme tune . Wonderful memories of being a Captain Kangaroo kid❤

Was 6 in 1956. Sure wish children today had some of those simple innocent pleasures we enjoyed. Playing outside was order of the day. & Long bicycle rides. It was a great time to grow up in. Thank God for precious childhood memories 😍🥳😽🎶

What a flood of memories I haven't seen the Captain in nearly 60 years ,,this made me smile as it did when I was a child ,,never missed the Captain on TV

I was 4 years old when this aired. I never missed The Captain. I can still hear the theme music in my head. Wonderful memories.😍💝

I remember when he read the book, "Caps for Sale"! It was magical to me. He opened the world of reading books. It has always been one of my favorite books and I have enjoyed reading it to my kindergarten classes over the years. The memory of him reading it has stayed with me and I thought about it everytime.

I grew up watching him. Loved him. When children were handled preciously with what they watched. Miss those days of childhood innocence.

Takes me back to the days of innocence. Pure joy to see my childhood mates again. R.I.P.

Wow; I remembered the jingling of the keys to the hook to start off the show, but haven't seen in over 60 years. Thanks for posting this Treasure.

It would be wonderful if children today could have this sweet, simplistic entertainment. By gone era of untainted innocence.

I loved this show..yes simpler, innocent times when we used our imaginations and had respect. Fear the future of our children…scary times. Thank you for this.

I met Captain Kangaroo! One of the highlights of my life. Such a special man and the TV show was wonderful for kids. Loved Bunny Rabbit. :)

My dad was his camera man and he told us all. That his kids did not know he was captain kangaroo until they were grown up He never told them it was him. Dad's gone now but he work for lots of early broadcaster. Plus cbs

The producers of this show did an AMAZING job of keeping this show interesting for young children. Bob Keeshan was an amazing host. You could see the pleasure he got from doing the show and the enthusiasm he had for it.. He was an absolute jewel. There was something calming and soothing about is voice that made him so likeable. I get nostalgic chills every time I hear the show theme song.

I’m so privileged to have live in this innocent time frame which created the ground work for my character.❤

A big budget is no substitute for talent and imagination. Even though the animation was limited,the artwork was stylish,the music good and they came up with creative solutions to keep the audience engaged. Bob Keeshan would play Captain Kangaroo and be a part of childhoods for nearly 3 decades.

When I was a tiny person and very sick, this program woke me up many mornings. Now I am an old man and very healthy. THANKS CAPT. See ya soon. 😎

I grew up with this show! I loved it!

Loved this show , Captain Kangaroo was priceless !!

I was born in 1955, and seeing this made the flood gates open...WOW! Such wondrous memories. I always felt a sense of security when I watched this show. Even when I was in my 20s, I would occasionally tune in to see how things had changed (or not changed--which was even better).

Man does this bring back memories, i wish i could go back just for a day . I can hear my dad yelling at me to come watch Tommy Terrific and Popeye!

I was born in 58 and watched this man all my life . . I'm 64 now . 🙏👍✌💪💛

AT 77 YEARS OF AGE I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS EPISODE.! THANK YOU FOR SHEARING THIS!❤👍

I watched the Captain in the early-mid 60's. Part of the happiest time of my life.

I wish that children's television could be more like this!!!!

Captain Kangaroo was the #1 kid show. How innocent and precious these shows were and are.

I am 79 years old and I remember watching this. I also thought he was so old. I feel sorry for the children today, they have nothing like this to watch.

Man he would turn over in his grave ,if he could see the madness of today....

Loved this. What a different world.Nevet thought we would be dealing with all that's. going on today LOVED YOU BOB.

I watched the Captain every day growing up. I'm 70 now and still have great memories of this show and the music. Thank You for saving this wonderful piece of TV history.

1950's and 1960's were the absolute best. Thank God I got to experience that magic time.

As a kid I always perked up when I heard the Captain Kangaroo theme song on TV. I knew I was going to have fun.

Even today, the name "Mr Green Jeans" makes my grandchildren laugh. We loved you, Captain Kangaroo!

Grew up watching Cap. Kangaroo, Mr. Rogers, Romper Room, Lidsville, HR Puff n Stuff, Sigmund the Sea Monsters, The Banana Splits, Land of the Lost, Kimba the White Lion, Gumby, Davey and Goliath, Speedracer, Zoom, After School Specials, Lassie, American Bandstand, Midnight Special and Soul Train. The classic cartoons. Bugs, Porky, Marvin the Martian, Flinstones, Sylvester and Tweety, Road Runner and I could go on and on. Who members having to make there bed when they got up! There was no allowance. It was your job. It built character. You were taught Discipline, common courtesy, respect, empathy. Kids now don't know the meanings of those words. I grew up in the 60s and 70s. We had such a great childhood. All the best shows were on TV. They'll never be anything like it again. To go back. All kids should grow up like that. Such a simpler time. When everybody sat down for dinner and Sunday dinners were extra special because family came over. There would be 15 people around the table. Kids playing kick the can, hide and seek and tag. Mom, aunts and grandma cooking. Dad, uncles and grandpa talking shop. Families were so close. Cousins were like brothers and sisters. It took a village and most kids had the best villages ever. Kids were taught respect, manners, to speak when they were spoken to. We did what we were told, when we were told and how we were told and liked it or got our backsides tanned. Parents didn't put up with any bullshit. Such a shame kids arent raised liked that anymore but parents don't act like parents anymore either. It's no wonder the world is the way it is. Its a sad, scary state of affairs we live in. So Sad!

I’m smiling the whole show! What a lovely way we little ones had, to begin the day, when we were young! I’m 73, this week, and remember watching The Captain in the morning, while Mama had her coffee, and straightened up around our house. I had several little stuffed animals and dollies, that watched with me! I loved it then and just loved watching , again. So personal, educational and fun, while always keeping interest. Loved Zippy, too! Thanks so, for sharing! God bless all the others of you , who remember fondly! from TN 🙏🦋🙏🦋🙏

Wow! I was born in 1957 & loved C.K., the clock, mr greenjeans, moose & my favorite bunny rabbit. What a time to grow up.

So many memories came flooding back. This was part of my morning routine along with getting ready for school, and breakfast. Such simpler times it seems from what the kids have to contend with today. Mr.Greenjeans, Grandfather clock, Mr. Moose, Bunny Rabbit. Does anyone remember when Shari and Lambchop were on his show?

I was born in 1961 and watched Captain Kangaroo from either 2 or 3 years age on through elementary school. I'm 63 and remember these shows fondly. Kids today will never know the joy of these types of shows. Sad really.

I loved Captain kangaroo. I watched him when I was 3 years old in 1956, and throughout the rest of his years. I'm now 71 years old and enjoyed it just as much today as I did back then.

Awesome childhood memories watching this masterpiece! My Mom would watch it with us! I was 7 when she passed. Praise Yahweh for the time she spent with us!

This was the year I was born though I was a Captain Kangaroo watcher every morning as a very small child for many years. Yes, he looks young and we watched him age. I remember the raining ping pong balls . Boy have childrens shows changed . We didn’t require much . 😀

I’m 64 years old, and I loved this show!! I totally remember that theme song. It brings back fond memories. Now I just need to see Woody Woodpecker!

I was 6 years old when this aired. I daily watched Captain. Loved bunny and grandfather clock. An innocence of life long gone.

I was just one year old in 1956. But I do remember watching Captain Kangaroo just after breakfast when I was a preschooler. He made every morning sunny and cozy. So watching this brought back some really old but nice memories!

Take me back, please! My sister and me side by side watching these shows. Joyous years.

Loved Captain Kangaroo. Mr Green Jeans my favorite. Always had an animal. We were so innocent and it was a great era. Sad children can’t be children. We were all so blessed.

I was born in 1956, my mom had this on everyday for us kids. I loved ♥ watching.

One of my fondest childhood memories! My mom would watch with me. We loved mischievous Bunny Rabbit..his love of carrots. Mr Moose and Dancing Bear!

I remember these Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Green-jeans episodes. I thought they were so REAL!!! and mesmerizing. I actually remember this episode as my mother told me about knotty pine. We had our basement finished in knotty pine at that time, it smelled sooo good! Oh the memories! I didn’t know I remembered this until I saw it!

I remember having a piece of plastic that stuck to the tv screen for this show and I could draw on it. Like I drew a rope so Tom Terrific could get out of a tree, lol. How did we ever go from these days to where we are today?

Such a simple and yet completely enjoyable entertainment. Pure happiness for children.

I was lucky to see this. I had just lost my 7 year old identical brother. We were inseparable did everything same ideas reactions answers defended looked out for one another. This show was my outlet from now that I know was depression. Thank you Captain.

Thank you for sharing the Captain Kangaroo show with us! These characters are part of my earliest childhood memories. I loved Mr. Green Jeans. 😊

That intro music brings back memories of when we'd hear it on the TV, my siblings and I would hop and dance to our spots right in front of the TV to watch our favorite show! I was born in 1955. So thankful for this wholesome and fun filled show!

Captain kangaroo defined the era of a happy innocent time! I get really sentimental when I watch these old videos of that time 😢! But I can also escape back for a little while, thanks Captain for all the good memories.....❤💯

I wasn't born until 1959, BUT I REMEMBER THIS CLOCK!! I LOVED this clock 🤣!!

I love this show. How simple and uncomplicated it was. I’m 64 and this was one of my favorite shows ❤️ ahhh the good ol’ days……

Bunny Rabbit, Mr. Greenjeans, Mr. Moose and the Cpt for a great way to start the day. The opening music is great too. A classic from 68 years ago. All of a sudden I feel much older but much happier.

I’ll be 70 in a few days. This brings back such a wonderful flood of memories! Those were the days my friends…

I just checked this out and the show ran for 29 years until 1984! I watched it in the early 60's. Loved it 😊

This show is from the year I was born...so I grew up with Captain Kangaroo starting my day. I still remember dozens of songs and stories from over 60 years ago!

Famous German stuffed toy maker Steiff stuffed toy company made hand puppets my sister had the “bunny” I got grey squirrel, my brother a black poodle dog and my younger brother got kitty. I still have mine and my older brothers too. They’re looking really old kind of like me too these days. I LOVED this show too. It was everyday before I went to kindergarten. My mother stayed home with us and didn’t work.

I haven’t seen this in 55 years. I thought the captain was way older . I’m in shock. His hands even look young. I’m freaking out. Lol Such a good show.

Truly my favorite show as a child. I'm sure I watched it every morning. I was born in 1954 so I might have even seen this episode, though I would not remember. God bless Bob Keeshan.

Soon to be 68 and every morning 7 am as a child I watched Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Greenjeans. Innocence of a life of long ago.

I watched Captain Kangaroo every week day morning. I am so glad I was a child back then. Would not trade it for anything

I am so thankful for being born in 1951, to be a part of these wonderful shows ❤😊

I was born in 1950 and 5 years old when this episode aired. What fun to hear Alan Jones singing the "Donkey Serenade" during the puppet sequence! Captain Kangaroo was such a gentle, fun program, and it taught me so much. It was a regular part of my morning until I went to school all day. Even in later years, I liked to sit and watch it with my little sister, if I happened to be home then.

Being born in 1998 I missed out on this amazing show. Thanks to the Statler Brothers and their song Countin Flowers On The Wall for introducing me to this amazing show.

Loved the Captain! Makes me realize I’m more then happy to be 70, old enough to to see todays chaotic realities yet young enough to have a bucket list and play it forward. Being a senior is awesome and underrated. I’ll take it any day over being young today.

Wow, talk about bringing back fond memories. I am 71 now and I used to watch Captain Kangaroo when I was about 5. Grandfather Clock used to scare the hell out of me. I thought the clock face was so scary. My memory might be failing me in my elder years but I can still remember all the cast of this show. Times were good then and America was strong. We were recovering from a war and even though times were tough for a lot of people they bucked it up and went to work. They didn't run crying to the government for a free living.

This episode came out a year before I was born I have was a captain kangaroo kid. It was what my mom had on in the house every morning before we went to school. I grew up in Chicago and the competition was Ray Rayner and his morning cartoons and we desperately wanted to watch them. My mom being wise kept the captain on. I learned about inchworm and played guess who I am and watched all the ping-pong balls for when he would say hotdogs hamburgers spaghetti and meatballs to Mr. Moose. I haven’t seen this in over 55 years what a treat. Thank you for sharing

Born in ‘67. Watched CK from as early as I can remember. Was none too happy when I got old enough to go to school and couldn’t watch the show (no VCRs back then) but was super excited on holidays and whenever I could be “sick” and esp in summer breaks. I don’t remember when I stopped watching it. Greatly impacted my early development. I didn’t really watch Mr. Rogers or Sesame Street much. Nothing compared to CK.

Born in 59. I loved Captain Kangaroo, Casey Jones, Romper room except she never said my name.😅 Thought the milk truck was so neat. Went on The Clancy Show in Blue Birds and he gave me a snow fling.😊 Let kids be little. The sweet precious soul of a child.

Back then things were so enchanting and magical, proud to be one of those that remember Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Green Jeans and all the characters in the Captain's quarters!
