I remember watching Captain Kangaroo as a child ❤

I grew up in the 1960s watching Captain Kangaroo in black and white. It is so strange to see it in color. I never saw these 1980s episodes; they are considerably different!

I loved Captain Kangaroo! I remember Captain Kangaroo was leaving CBS after almost 30 Years! I was in 8th Grade I went on my First Trip to NYC with mom and dad. On Sunday morning I got up at Around 7AM and asked Mom and Dad very Nicely if I can Watch Captain Kangaroo one last time on Ch.2 in NY, and mom said "All Right, but Don't bring it up in School!" So I got to watch The Captain one last Time! Thank you Mom and Dad!

My sister and I grew up with Captain Kangaroo. When PBS brought him back as clip shows from 1989-1993, I watched them in the morning before going to school. I was in the 8th grade in 1989 and 11th grade in 1993, but I still loved them, and still do today as an adult. I just wish more episodes would be on KZread and dvd companies would release them.

The good Captain gets his jackets from No.6's tailor.

Thanks for the upload! Notice the Captain reading off cue cards most of the time during the diner sketch. Wonder if that was common.

These products are what should be advertised on cartoons on ME TV

These episodes should be on MeTV!

In reply to some of the comments: Yes, the show employed cue cards, but much ad libbing would also go on at times between Keeshan and the other actors, depending on the story. Bob Keeshan never wanted children on the set. His goal was to have the children at home believe that they were the ones with whom he was having a personal visit. Having said that, my brothers and I visited the set many times as young children in the 1960's (but only occasionally during actual tapings, for the above reason,) as our dad was the set decorator for many years, including this episode towards the very end of the run, which was taped at the CBS Broadcast Center on 57th St. in Manhattan in late 1983. The show never migrated to California because all of the talent - actors, producers, directors, and the many skilled television artisans that magically made it all happen - lived here in the New York area.

A pleasure. Thanks for watching!

Another episode from the final years of the Captain's show, where the writing was VERY '80s, unlike what it was in the '50s, '60s and '70s!

I would've made only one change had it gone on for at least a few more seasons (but Keeshan wouldn't have like it), tape it "From Television City in Hollywood" and introduce actual children onto the set.
