Captain Kangaroo

I donno, Sesame Street was okay, but as a little kid, THIS was the show for me. I loved the dropping ping pong balls, Mr Moose, the Tom Terrific toons(remember THEM?), Dancing Bear-they used to do these real pre-MTV pieces with him-flying around to the tune of 'Up Up and Away' or 'Green Green', the show had some unique animation bits and overall a good message too.

Keeshan, Mr Greenjeans and Mr Bainter were the best of course; its a shame that they don't make things like this anymore. Myself I miss it and would want my kids to watch it too. Beats the heck outta Barney any day of the week...
