Boomer TV: 'Captain Kangaroo's' Birthday
Bob Keeshan, who played Captain Kangaroo for 29 years (1955-84), would have been 81 today.
The entertainer, a Long Island resident for most of his life, died on Jan. 23, 2004.
I still have one burning question, which maybe somebody out there can answer: Did Captain Kangaroo have a first name?
Meanwhile, here's the classic opener from the show, a melody that will undoubtedly continue playing in your head all day.

Keeshan's"Captain Kangaroo'wasn't really an entertainer
or an educator..
Inasmuch as he was an educational matrix.
He was able to have educational concepts grow and
develop before the audiences.
Mr.Keeshan did have a repatory company of
actors and singers..who could entertain in a fashion.
That was funny and tuneful and engaging but
never boring,patornizing or provided anything that
was not appropriate for children.
It was a joy to spend a weekday or a weekend
morning with this show and I'm sorry that are no
kids tv shows on the air today..that can present
such a concept for our kids now.
