Another great entertainer has passed on.

So sad. He was such a big part of my childhood.

I just heard the sad news on the radio - my kids and I used to watch his show every morning when they were young - I'll never forget the lessons he taught the kids. What a great show he had!

I remember yelling "Hey Grandfather" to wake up Grandfather clock. I remember Bunny Rabbits constant quest to get more carrots from the Captain. I remember knock knock jokes with Mr Moose. I remember ping pong balls dropping from above. But most of all I remember the Captain, the man of many pockets, as he opened the door of the treasure house and invited me and my sister in to spend another morning with him through the magic of television.

Yes, I remember many mornings spent with the Captain. I wouldn't trade those memories for the world. Goodbye Mr Keeshan. Goodbye and thank you. You made my childhood a little happier all those years ago

This is so sad! It's a shame that Saturday mornings (and children's entertainment in general) strayed so far from everything I remember about Captain Kangaroo. He will be missed!
