Absolutely I grew up with both as well as the Electric Company and Sesame street its sad you wake up today to literally nothing of quality and value for kids to watch on tv before the 90s and 2000s the world was such a better place especially for kids.
But the world doesn't need another Joanne Rogers, wife of Mr. Rogers. She was one of the most hateful people I've ever known regarding President Trump.
Thank you for posting this rare episode of 'Captain Kangaroo'! By saving the tape all of these years, he unwittingly did us a great favor. Not many episodes are known to survive, but this is wonderful to see. This makes the third episode of which I'm aware to exist from the 1980's.
Captain Kangaroo faced serious competition in our grade school home from my mom wanting to watch "Good Morning America" around the same time. She was glad to get us off to school so she could have the TV all to herself and watch Joan Lunden. I just remember Captain had the most toy commercials outside of Saturday mornings and thought of all the advertising dollars Mister Rogers lost out on by being on PBS
thank you to WHOEVER FOUND THIS! we must find MORE. Very enjoyable but I'd rather see more of the captain than cartoons (I heard that cbs was screwing the show up due to cbs morning news, with the wake up era, then in 1982, they put it back to an hour for weekends only, and after being reduced a again in 1984, Bob Keeshan seemed to have ragequit when the contract expired, but returned for a little while in 1986 on pbs) If I grew up from the 50s or 80s, or if many episodes were released on home media then I would've loved the show, sadly its difficult to watch now
My grandma was in captin kangaroo. She wasn't in a real episode but it was a cereal commercial that involved captin kangaroo. She was maybe around 6-10 when she was in it.
I remember waking up on Saturday mornings in the early 80’s to watch Captain Kangaroo. It was such a good show with some old cartoons like Undercover Elephant and the CB Bears. One skit I remember they did was an Indiana Jones kinda skit was really good. Of course always loved Mr Moose, Bunny Rabbit, Dennis and Mr Green Jeans. Who doesn’t remember the ping pong balls.
Mad, MAD props to Bob Keeshan and the gang for having the energy to put on that kind of show at their ages. I’m only 41 and I’m already tired enough to go spend eternity in Heaven and be with Jesus!
Yes Indeed, Captain Kangaroo Was Good Classic Original Clean Fun Entertainment From Back In The Day & I Remember When It Moved To Saturday Mornings Back In 1982.
You showed up on my newsfeed you were showing the best guy in the world Captain kangaroo I grew up watching him Captain helped me be a good man... subscribed
Thanks for posting this video how great comma by this time i was already a young adult in the captain head run it's course period period period i'm much preferred the sixties and early seventies version still nice to see this great video
Thanks. A good watch, especially the roller skating segment. Watching the commercials, I was surprised to see all the attempts at Annie merchandise. I guess it didn't sell well. I'm not surprised - the whole idea of buying an Annie mansion and dolls just feels odd.
I remember all the controversy over the show being canceled because it was the only children's programing on network television during a weekday. The reason given was that CBS wanted to expand their morning show to compete with the other networks. There weren't as many children at home with their moms anymore like they were in the prior decades. Most were in daycare now because mom had to work to keep up with the inflation of the 70s or because of divorce. Or both. Child of the 70s here.
More than 42 years after CBS did what they did... Captain Kangaroo is still fondly remembered. While CBS is STILL trying to find a successful morning show to replace the Captain without any luck whatsoever to this day
Why am I watching this whole thing....god I wish time travel existed....yo yes you the nerd watching this along with me...get the hell up and invent fricking time travel so I can relive better times. Oh yeah and as a thank you I'll bring u back a winning lottery ticket.
I was a big fan of Captain Kangaroo when I was a kid and my sister was, too (she was born in 1964). I wasn't even 7 years old when this episode aired; I was born on November 14, 1975. It's too bad that the entire series isn't on dvd. I'd love to see my favorite episodes again. I watched it on PBS when I was in jr. high school back in the late 1980s, but had to put up with the "clip shows"! :(
At 14:11 - the animated skit with the man making his bed with a dog on it, was it animated by Bruce Cayard? If I recall, he did many animated segments for "Sesame Street" too. If true, then "Captain Kangaroo" could have two known connections to "Sesame Street" - Cayard, and the then-future voice of Elmo, Kevin Clash).
There can only be ONE Captain Kangaroo, (ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME, JOHN McDONOUGH?!) and Mister Rogers. They were the best of friends and they appeared on each other's shows at different times. Some people, including me, miss them so much. Only Mister Rogers would use TV to get to the world and help them be better people in the future and the one and only Captain Kangaroo (NOT YOU, JOHN!) amused kids quite creatively with his stories and puppets and whatnot. May they both rest in peace.)
Didn't realize they used the "Here comes Captain Kangaroo" theme before the public television reruns. But how come they resumed "Good Morning Captain" towards the end of the CBS run?
That theme was based on a film segment song "The Wonderful World of Machines". They were both written and sung by Lynn Ahrens of Schoolhouse Rock fame.
Smug Captain at 3:00. C. Kangaroo was a mad boss of the Schwinn, Colgate, and Wonder Bread empire with his posse: Mr. Moose, Bunny Rabbit, and Mr. Green Jeans. I wonder if he attended the Board of Directors meetings of these corporations wearing his stylish red jacket?
Is this the show that had the sketch where a girl drops something down a sewer grate, goes to retrieve it, realizes the stairs back up vanished, has to answer three riddles to get back up, then drops something else and leaves it?
1982? 1981 was the year when the started to have 1/2 hour and he was wearing a sweater instead of jacket and no longer at the Captain's place setting for revamped setting. Nice to see this show.
@@tvtimetravel Wikipedia says the Sunday was an optional rerun airing that most stations declined. What I remember about the Saturday shortened program was they started doing Muppets style music video segments with Top 40 songs of the day -- at least that's what I recall. I guess they could have been soundalikes to save on royalties.
Cool too the Max everyone be safe in Christ God Bless yep captain kangaroo and good morning captain is clara Bell the clown on the Howdy's doody show TV show series episodes that David Seth Kotkin Copperfield born again Christian brother in Christ illusionist magician grew up watching TV shows and used some of the ideas From these TV shows and movies and other TV shows and movies and live plays the first half of plays
Grew up with the colorized show, was probly 5 or 6. But I think it was still on air not reruns, to bad nothing can stay, in the oblivious-ness. Of how bad things really are. Can't ever go back. Must had been about 1980. Give or take a year. Considering how they perverted and trashed seseamon st. It's just as well these shows will only live as reruns. Not to bring them back, as some sick twisted parody. Of what was, and never be again.
I wish there was more Captain Kangaroo episodes around to watch
The world today NEEDS a Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Rogers. Really bad.
Amen.
Absolutely I grew up with both as well as the Electric Company and Sesame street its sad you wake up today to literally nothing of quality and value for kids to watch on tv before the 90s and 2000s the world was such a better place especially for kids.
Oh how I miss the 70's. 😇
Yes asap

Have you seen the DollyParton episode
Seeing The CB Bears again take me back to my early childhood!
This really brings back memories of the eighty’s and the good old days.

Wow. Your channel is like a freakin time machine. It brings back so many memories, things buried in my brain that I had totally forgotten about.
My grandma was in captin kangaroo. She wasn't in a real episode but it was a cereal commercial that involved captin kangaroo. She was maybe around 6-10 when she was in it.
I remember watching this episode in 1982! Unfortunate it wasn't like what I saw
in the 70's, but I loved it!
Yeah... I remember watching this episode too...
I too grew up with Captain Kangaroo.
10 out of 10…..simply perfection….
Who ever recorded this THANK YOU THANK YOU What a blast from the past ! This is literally my morning childhood right here!
Bless Dennis Polkow for recording and preserving this. Happy Halloween!
There’s one more Dear Gabby advice I remember with some help from Ralph they showed how too much sugar can give you a tummy ache
Loved that show.great for kids.
My God! The Captain did break down and show a cartoon. Saints be praised! Oh wow! Captain mellowed out with funky music. Be still my beating heart!
If only someone could find a full episode of ROCKETSHIP 7 with Dave Thomas. But I love the captain
Gotta love the Captain!

Captain Kangaroo was on weekday mornings, not Saturdays.
@@der22672 Back in the 80’s it was also on Saturday morning at 7:00 am, that’s when I watched it.
@@joem5643 Yes it did. I use to set my alarm on Saturday mornings so that I could watch it. I never missed it
In 1982/1983 it was on Saturday mornings. I never missed it
Oh man, I was 14yrs in 1982. These shows and commercials really take me back. :)
I was 17 years and it brings many good memories and sad all that left behinds with just memories
Mad, MAD props to Bob Keeshan and the gang for having the energy to put on that kind of show at their ages. I’m only 41 and I’m already tired enough to go spend eternity in Heaven and be with Jesus!
as a kid watched him every morning

It sounded a lot like Johnny Olson as the announcer for Dear Gabby.

We had good show and great economy during the 80's. Just sad us older generation moving on

These kids on the slinky commercial remind of the Full House kids Michelle Nicky And Alex.
talent can be seen even long ago.
Writer Matt Robinson was the same Matt Robinson who was the original Gordon on Sesame Street's first three years.
I was wondering . . .
At 14:11 - the animated skit with the man making his bed with a dog on it, was it animated by Bruce Cayard? If I recall, he did many animated segments for "Sesame Street" too. If true, then "Captain Kangaroo" could have two known connections to "Sesame Street" - Cayard, and the then-future voice of Elmo, Kevin Clash).
Theme song from show:
Puffing Billy
By Edward white
No closed captions,important and needed by some people.
Hey, that animal segment has the Arther theme playing in the background.
The piano music at 16:02 is from "Lover Boy" by Supertramp.
So the intro associated with the PBS reruns debuted while the show was still on CBS then.
I MISS"PUFFING BILLY"

That's a feisty moose.
That's what he was.
I love Mr.Moose!😂
3:00 I love that damn moose lol!
That looks like Paul the girilla on the Electric Company.

It’s the first time I’ve seen an installment to the Captain from a CBS-owned station and WBBM-TV in Chicago,ch 2 is it.
💓💓💓
Is this the show that had the sketch where a girl drops something down a sewer grate, goes to retrieve it, realizes the stairs back up vanished, has to answer three riddles to get back up, then drops something else and leaves it?
3:00
Is this late enough where they werent even doing "Good Morning, Captain" anymore? Neither was as good as Puffin' Billy ..
The captain helped me survive sociopaths for parents
1982? 1981 was the year when the started to have 1/2 hour and he was wearing a sweater instead of jacket and no longer at the Captain's place setting for revamped setting. Nice to see this show.
Starting that year until the 12/8/84 finale, they aired only on Saturdays and Sundays.

@@MR_MRM_ I can remember their Sunday commercial breaks consisted of mostly PSA's from various charitable organizations.
@@tvtimetravel I never watched the Sunday show. Not sure my affiliate showed it.
@@MR_MRM_ Mine did. KCOY from Santa Maria, CA.

The CB Bears' transition sequence, when it was used, bore some similarities to that of Captain Caveman's.
That's because both were Hanna-Barbera properties, which makes their CK appearances more than a little unusual.
