unfortunately my kids never got to expierence the Captain and his show .

thanks for the fun Bob !

Ah yes---the Captain, Mr. Green Jeans, Dancing Bear, the Banana Man and all the rest. Every Saturday morning, it was like a religion at our mouse. Followed by Mighty Mouse...."heeeeereeee I come to save the day....."

Mr. Rogers, The Captain, whoose next?

Don't forget about Major Mudd!!!

Rest in Peace Capt'n

Thanks for the memories Captain K!:btu:

I remember going on a field trip and we were on the major mudd show.

Capt. K. was great, good memories....
Rex Trailer, Mjr. Mudd,

Who remembers the GHOUL ????

Wasn't there one called big brother or brother something???

Yeah, it was certainly sad news - there doesn't seem to be quite as much gentle entertainment for children on TV as there once was.

Does anyone know what Bob Keeshan's first TV job was?

He was the original Clarabell the Clown on the Howdy Doody Show. How's that for a trip in the Wayback Machine -

I remember Clarabell, Howdy, Buffalo Bob Smith ("Say kids, what time is it!?"), Chief Thunderthud, Princess Summerfallwinterspring, Phineas T. Bluster - and the Flub-a-Dub.

I don't know why but for some reason the Flub-a-Dub scared me when I was a kid, I distinctly remember asking my Dad if there was any such animal as a Flub-a-Dub.

I think I was maybe 16 or 17 at the time - :laughs:

boy I must be getting really old cause I remember all of them.the ghoul didnt he wear sun glasses with only one lense--And MJ mudd used to do Saturday show as an explorer on Jungle Adventures with Rosco the monkey from Franklin Park zoo.----Big brother Bob Emery( oh the grass is always greener in the other fellows yard)-- Soupy sales---Captain Bob---Uncle Gus from WMUR tv NH.and oh so many more. Definately will remember for as long as I--------what was this about????

That was always the Big fight in my House. I was a big Major Mudd fan and my sister was a fan of the captain.......Don't forget after school with Willie Whistle

What about Bill Cosby and the picture pages?
What was the name of his marker?
Anyhoo,
Later Bob,
Rick

Mr Greenjeans used to be coming on each day right when we had to be going to school. I loved that show. I bet Captain Kangaroo reruns would still kick ass over some of the stuff they show on PBS now.
Anyone remember Sandy Becker as Norton Nork? There was a creative guy.

I was sad to here af the passing of the Captain. Remembering also Tom Terrific Cartoons, with the badguy Crabby Appleton.
