Captain Kangaroo with Mr. Moose

[CapesandCloaks]

I feel sorry for young kids now days that there are not shows like this anymore it was hood to be a kid in the 70s and a teen in the 80s those were Good Times unlike now days!

[grandplans]

brings back to many memories. 

[MalwareDubstep]

Wait for the drop @1:12

[TheHenderson31]

when they would replay the episodes i'd watch them and became a beloved fan of the Captain... mr moose and all his friends. When shows were ate the golden age of fame ...

[RandomOurWorldGamer]

I'm 13...my dad made me watch this and great space coaster

[mrlizard888]

Mr. Moose is a jerk...

[Wondermouth1]

I loved Mr. Moose! I sensed he didn't have a lot of friends!....poor guy!

[peaceloveanime286]

My parents just showed me this. I, a 13 year old girl, am now a fan of Captain Kangaroo.

[murdy1975]

wow sad they dont make em like they used to



[2000ADELMO]

inly watching this because of counting flowers on the wall :P

[PoAWBlackMamba]

@2000ADELMO

ditto :D

I love you all xD

[jwallbanger]

I hated this stupid ass show when I was little. I wanted to make him eat those goddamn ping pong balls.

[darthspeaks]

Robert James "Bob" Keeshan, we all miss you.

[GreenGirlisGood]

I watched in the 70s .. I still remember all the characters... I would love to see a DVD release of some eps....

[CoCoBurr]

He does...

I use to watch as a kid. Trying to find DVDs of the show

[arlichar11]

is it just me or does mr moose sound like grover, or a grover wanna be?

[vividwatch47]

This has the opening note from the piano that was heard on most of C.B.S.' daytime shows.

[Akira625]

Pwned by ping pong balls! LOL

[RFKFANTS67]

I watched this as a kid I always liked the clips of other show casts at the start one day they had Captain Kirk and crew say "GOOD MORNING CAPTAIN"

[SufferingFoolsMusic]

Why has this show been thrown down the memory hole ever since it was cancelled? No DVD release?

[harwicke]

The moose sounds like jackie the joke man.

[rrose2009]

hahahaaaaa I love it. I'm grinning ear to ear.

[supashot1990]

that moose scared me O.o cuz i didn't want any ping pong balls to fall on me too D:

[DakariKingMykan]

@supashot1990

Aww come on they're not gonna hurt you

[supashot1990]

@DakariKingMykan D: how do u know?!?! HOW DO YOU KNOW?!?!? xD

[DakariKingMykan]

@supashot1990

*Hands you a paper bag* Now just breathe... relax. And to answer you... they're ping-pong balls, not marbles.

[GanjaKahn42O]

I'm 19 and this scares me

[art2art]

Mr. Moose was such a dick.

[Stoneman87x]

I think Mr. Green Jeans influenced me most. Did the clock have a name? Did it talk? I remember really liking the clock. And Mr. Moose. And Bunny Rabbit.

[1976REDRYDER]

@Stoneman87x it was Grandfather Clock. So awesome this show was. I saw it when it was black and white. Loved those early shows. I think most were all erased

[KenMacMillan]

It's the original Clarabell from Howdy Doody.

[jmj18462]

Thanks so much for posting this video! Brings back such good memories! Just FYI - WBNG is in Binghamton, NY, not Albany.

[opusliveson]

does anyone remember like a 2-hour Captain kangaroo special that was kind of like a mystery? I loved those episodes---it was the coolest story----yet, i draw a blank--someone help me please---thanx

[soulgirl66]

Oh, no! Not the ping-pong balls!! Thanks for posting! Great memories!

[flizbarg]

I'm sorry but, pleasant though this is, it's not the ORIGINAL. That theme music is just all wrong...

[1976REDRYDER]

What was that book he would read about the steam shovel digging the giant hole. I do not recall the plot or the name of it but he would read it a few times over the years. also, in this clip mr moose kind of acts like miss piggy in an odd way of mannerisms and talking. wild stuff. Miss the Captain.

[Stoneman87x]

@1976REDRYDER  Not sure but perhaps it was Mike Mulligan and his Steam Shovel? They could "dig as much in a day as a hundred men could dig in a week."

[1976REDRYDER]

@Stoneman87x That is it!!!! thanks so much. I remember seeing that story over and over at times on the show. Loved it when the great Captain would just read a story to us. Fantastic

[llama40204]

This makes me so happy to see. :)

Do you by chance have the I'm a train clip?

[DeedleDeedleDumplin]

Luv it. Have a very young friend who wants to see what the show was all about. I watched it daily for years and will never be too old for Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Green Jeans.

[JHaines57]

Who's the gal who says "Good Morning Captain" at 0:17? She looks so familiar but I can't place her

[deemilieu]

@JHaines57 yes, it is sandy dennis-

[shelliebellie3672]

what is that poem

[h0b0ch1c]

this is creepy

[KidCiscoswag]

Check this captain kangaroo impersonator

[knight1768]

thankyou so very much 4 this vid,i was 5 years old watching this and laughed so hard about the ping pong balls,i looked so foward to it,thought greenjeans was freaky then,im 50 years old now,i sat eating pancakes at my grandmas watching this,oh those wonderful days,i felt so safe,a hundred year old house,and the years of great cooking in the walls,i long so so bad 4 those days,wishing i was 5 again,and grandmas cooking,nobody could cook like her,2 you grandma and grampa i miss and love u much.

[RFKFANTS67]

Guten morgen herr Hauptmann lol.. I know my German is bad

[CaptMARNEY]

Yknow what that reminded me of, Captain?

NIAGRA FALLS!!

[lifepoint03]

oh captain my captain

[notfragile33]

Hard to believe now that for almost a quarter-of-a-century, CBS thought it was a good idea to begin the day having a KIDS SHOW go up against NBC's Today Show and ABC's Good Morning America!

(but hey, he had some of the best toy commercials money could buy! Even better than Saturday morning cartoons! Every day was the Christmas shopping season when he was on!)

[docterherb88]

LOOK hes covered in balls,, Just like Sharron Stone hahahahahaha

[marx007100]

I have very good memories of the Captain Kangaroo show from the early 60's. That was before the combined networks and their cable offspring sold their bloody souls to the Devil. For what? Money, and that is what today's children are worth. Just money. God help us all.

[robcorral777]

What was the name of the show that had "Henrietta the Hippo and that Owl"?

[AuspiciousCurmudgeon]

@robcorral777 New Zoo Revue

[AuspiciousCurmudgeon]

@robcorral777 New Zoo Revue

[1712Overture]

@robcorral777

Uh, Mr. Rogers had Henrietta Pussycat and X the Owl.

[TheAltair4]

I used to love watching Captain Kangaroo along with Sesame Street, Electric Company, New Zoo Revue, Romper Room, The Bozo Show, Mister Rogers Neighborhood , Mr. Peppermint, Pinwheel, Today's Special and Sharon, Lois and Bram's Elephant Show, among many others when i was a little kid.

[JadeEyedWolf]

Ahh, this brings back great childhood memories! ^_^

[ilovemartinmilner]

The ping pong ball thing never got old. It's still pretty funny. :D

[willy7369]

I remember watching this on channel 11 out of NY, NY. Someone will bring TV back to the good ole days.

[manidig]

Thanks for including the WBNG-TV 12 station ID. And the CBS Network time signal!

[love12508]

I LOVED THIS SHOW WHEN I WAS A KID!!!!! PAPPY LAND WAS MY OTHER FAVORITE ALONG WITH BARNEY ^^

[robcorral777]

That moose is far from jacki martling...... The capt was the best and ol' mr moose was the coolest!

[music4ever550]

my dad was apparently friends w/ cap. kangaroos son as a child

[Smartboy8877]

@music4ever550

I have a cousin who went to school with Captian Kangaroo's son.

[cynthe66]

My husband and I were talking about shows we watched as a child and this one and Mister Rogers came to mind. When those two died a little bit of my childhood went with them. I'm in my mid 40s now and remembering how I looked forward to seeing them on TV.

[JoeyBieg]

omg the moose sounds like Jackie Martling! OOH OOH

[longlivestarscream]

this is my Great Grandpa!!!!!!!

[robcorral777]

Does the poster of this clip have any more Captain Kangaroo? Merry Christmas and may the captain rest in peace!

[capt1570]

LOL ! I Had a green parrot when i was a child and i named him mr greenjeans. I use to love this show wow.

[capie44]

Need a Physician? Why! You have come to the right place! At WBuNG, we strive to hole you up with the full 12 in your channel!

[capie44]

Capt Kangaroo was a WWII marine, but saw no action as the war ended with the atomic bomb to soon for his training to be complete.

[Marekitten59]

This is the first time I have seen this show since its airing in the early airing in the 60's.Thank you for posting,and sharing:)

[fightinside1]

I watched this show when I was little. I miss the old days...

[robcorral777]

Can't get enough of Mr. Moose dropping ping pong balls on the old Captain!

[safenders]

holy crap I used to live in Binghamton the ch that this was recorded from if the person who posted this vid reads this are you from Bing as well?

[stevenscottoddballz]

On the ferris wheel who was that after Mr Moose?

[misfit2466]

PING PONGS! I LOVE IT!

[chrissline77]

Wow I use to watch this show as a little kid. I had completely forgotten about Captain Kangaroo until someone mentioned him yesterday.

[crimsonblade2k]

im only watching this because he was one of the pimps in black dynamite! and didnt kno where he was from lol

[kappaman431]

I'll admit i looked this up because of Family Guy.....because i never heard of this, honestly it being a show FILLED with references to EVERYTHING before i was born, i wouldn't know. 9( I STILL DON'T GET THE PING PONG BALLS THING)

[toddlusk]

You know, it just never gets old watching the Captain get nailed with Ping-Pong balls. I think I just dated myself there.

[DeadInfantBlood]

lol,he's covered in balls.

[nckitkat]

what great memories!!- but, is it just me, or does Mr. Moose kind of remind you of Kermit? the mannerisms? or maybe it was Miss Piggy...

[meterman432110]

wow i miss bob keshson

[Lindawatcher]

Mr. Moose was clearly empowered from the nether-world! The devil was his sole strength of power!!! He basked in the destruction and heartache of others- such as dropping ping-pong balls on them or cutting off their legs with a chainsaw

[robcorral777]

My daughter and I will watch this clip once a week just to laugh..... For those of us who were able to see this show when we were youngsters let's remember just good this show, sesame and the big blue marble as great tv......:-)

[Dashland13]

I am 43 and when I was little, I thought it was so funny when Mr. Mosse drops the ping pong balls on him...I STILL DO!...LOL

[tranurse]

i still love bunny rabbit

[robcorral777]

What a great show.....! My daughter Isabella love's it even today.... It was honest T.V. I am so glad I had the good fortune of watching it back in 73 as a 5 year old.....

[kayper54]

Am I giving my age away when I mention that this must have been a very late version of the original that I remember?

[N7ProtoSpectre]

lol Archer ftw.

[phoenixsonrising]

The old bloke has a creepy hairdoo!

[SOLISDEUS]

How ironic that Bob Keesan would die 20 years later from cancer resulting from over exposure to poly ethylene plastic composites used to make ping pong balls. Oh the irony.

[Klopecs]

Nothing worse than getting pelted with ping pong balls.

[mojofilter02]

Boy, that was an industrial strength blast from the past!

[robcorral777]

@ blueback- please share with us your experience, when and do you have a copy of the show to put on YouTube?

Very interested to hear

[TheBlueblackFairy]

I was on this show one time when I was little with my sisters In the 70's.

[citizenterryk]

personally, i think mr moose should be a regular on howard stern!!...........

[kataisa3]

It's interesting to see the difference between an okay puppeteer (Mr Moose) and brilliant puppeteering (Sesame Street)

[robcorral777]

I loved that Mr. Moose..... In fact, the other day when I got home and the wife and kids were waiting for me I started talking like Mr. Moose (without realizing it)....... Thanks for posting such wonderful memories..... Captain was the coolest..... May God rest his soul.....

[49bobbyk]

I grew up with Captain Kangaroo. He beat those public television shows all to pieces. Sesame Street and the Electric Company were socialist television.

[nealharpole1]

i am mr. moose.

[nahzrat]

The moose is the most awesome being in the history of the universe...dropping ping pong balls on people at any given moment? Genius! If only life were so grande.

[LittleSerboLamb]

Also, is it supposed to be slow when the balls rain down on him or is it because this is so old?

[LittleSerboLamb]

While I wasn't alive yet (my mom was only 12 in '81) I remember watching these on VHS tape my grandmother had kept. Didn't they show actually baby animals!?

[idao84]

recuerdo tanto al querido capitan kangaroo, tenia entonces algunos 7, y veia sus shows en casa de mi querida abuela. los disfrutaba en realidad.

[youtoubakias]

Well thats psyhedelic,how can this man called captain cangaroo? he is australian? like crocodile duntee? he he even if i didn't leave as a child to the 70s but in the 80s i still adore the 70s and the psyhedelic pink floyd style of them!

[skrat5]

I loved everything about the captain; EXCEPT GRANDFATHER CLOCK. I had nightmares about that damn clock! zeesh! lol

[slerk3]

So this is what Captain Kangaroo looked like in colour. I never knew.

[JDT104]

Captain Kangaroo was a favorite to watch with bunny rabbit and mr moose. Mr green jeans was kind of creepy though. A lot of children's shows were imaginative, you had to think, no internet or computer games. Too bad children today don't have shows like these. Oh well, children are too sophisticated these days I guess.

[acethepony]

This is my moms TV show! Haha

[zefer14]

I have always wondered. Now I know, I now I wish there was never the internet

[biohazardgraphics]

"Oh, sorry! Bunny and I...uh..."

...are to be married in the spring!

[LadiUneek]

LOL.  *sigh* Such wonderful memories!!!!

[LolSuperWut]

Where have cartoons gone? I mean, now, some TV-Y7 Cartoons use the word "Crap" in every episode.

[ferociousgumby]

Kellogg's cereals were made in Battle Creek, Michigan, and I remember saving box tops and sending them away for something. Can't remember any of the prizes, but they seemed like treasures then. Battle Creek is where Kellogg set up his sanitarium, as written in The Road to Wellville (author's name? Later made into a bad movie with Anthony Hopkins. End of lecture.)

[buzzlewie]

"Brought to you by all those good Kelloggs cereals."

[bassfighter1]

I Kinda Miss Being a Kid

[williamq19]

HS22181 Lol totally agree fun for the whole family, too bad it got cancelled :(

[collegeman1988]

Ah yes, this was back in the day when the national networks didn't have news every single hour of the day and we didn't need to know (or care) what all the dumb celebrities were doing every hour of the day.

[TheZerak]

@collegeman1988

Cpt K is a cool man although maybe he is a fag lool .... I am an Amarican who dare to miss with me ;)

[RetroToledo]

@collegeman1988 I wish it was still like this!

[exnewsanchor]

This was my youth

[DBSpy1]

That was a very nice and clean show us kids loved to enjoy,now what are the haters that never leave there rooms going to say.

[highflier217]

i was waiting for sean connery to say "good morning captain"

[ferociousgumby]

I LOOOOVE the "ding" at the beginning! Haven't thought of that in years.

[dowdy057]

@ferociousgumby That ''ding'' you were referring to was the CBS Time Signal that was broadcast at the top of every hour on CBS Television and Radio. no matter what happened to be on at that moment, news,sports,whatever, if you were tuned to CBS,you could set your watch by that tone. I understand that CBS still uses that time signal just before its radio news broadcasts.

[hamburger229]

Dropping balls on Captain Kangaroo....PRICELESS....LMAO.­..

[mozartgenetics]

Captain Kangaroo was out of step with the brainwashing that our children much undergo now. No military training, no Homeland Security, no witches and wizards, no moral devaluation. I guess if you want to live without the bullshit...you will have to go back in time. God help this country.

[dudemanio]

before the era of cartoons, there were puppets. and there was much rejoicing.

[PerfeckteDroge]

no wonder so many people did acid in the seventies!

[mrklene]

@PerfeckteDroge well doing acid back then is better than what the morons do now, blow their brains out and text while driving. they're just so smart these days!

[PelvisMcGee]

CK has always just done it for me... take two teaspoons of sexy and call me in the morning, Doctor!

[alnilam66]

this guy drank a lot.. you would too.with mr moose f ing with him all the time

[001hinata001]

huh. i vaguely remember this.

[anitec19]

well at least i wasnt around those days

[basserase]

Mr. Moose needed a good beating.

[MitchMb14]

WBNG is Cornholio;s favorite TV station.

[gjjemhunter]

Oh dear God! I loved that stupid show!

[3338884life]

This video just goes 2 show that today's cartoons have gone straight to hell in a hand basket.

[UppityQueer]

@3338884life Spirited Away would rape Captain Kangaroo in his glory-hole.

[sfjohn5]

lol bunny rabbit i like him

[gunbuck7]

That is one straight up gangsta moose!

[CaitlinBrooksMusic]

Rest in peace, Captain Kangaroo.

[darianglover]

WBNG-TV is and has always been in Binghamton, NY.

[Offthbadan]

I haven't seen this in over 30 years. Earlier today this theme song creeped into my head and I thought to look it up on YouTube. Thank God for YouTube. What memories.

[SpeedyTase]

I love Mr.  Bunny Rabbit's glasses!LOL

[Squeakersification]

I like these type of cartoons much better than what's out there today. Just last night I saw that disgusting FAMILY GUY show....and the first thing I heard was the male child ask his date if she had ever "made it with a dog". How times have changed!

[PrEsLiandRoBiN]

Knock Knock. PING PONG BALLS!

[obscurebandfan]

Used to watch videotapes of this show in the earlier late 90s when I was little, lots of sweet memories.

[lv2bfe]

Oh how I LOVE me some Mr. Moose!!!!!

[lv2bfe]

Oh how I LOVE me some Mr. Moose!!!!!!

[Goldengoat23]

DAMN, I have not seen this in 30 year. Was my favorite when I was about 5

[VinnyMartello]

My dad used to watch this.

[vividwatch47]

This skit proves that the good Captain had a sense of humor. I remember on "Wheel Of Fortune" where a lady was supposed to answer the final word puzzle as "Mother Goose", but instead said "Mister Moose"!

[vividwatch47]

This features the piano riff that opened most of C.B.S.' shows.

[southernboygonebad]

I like how comedian Brad Stine compared this guy to Barney. The Captain had no politically correct BS.

[old81bmw]

I would like a nice bunch of CARROTS!

[TheChronicOne]

HECK YEAH!

EPIC WIN!

Capt Kangaroo is PIMP MADE

[JesusManson323]

What happened to these good days? Nowadays it's all scary cartoons and cynical tv shows where half of the dialogue is insulting each other...

[alexp9999]

@JesusManson323

i think it has something with entertainment being far less drab and dull these days =/

[kappaman431]

@JesusManson323 ???? name a few.

[KaptKan1]

I used to watch this in the 1950s. Good ole Capt Kangaroo and Mr Moose and Bunny Rab and the gang! A snappy salute from Kaptain Kanada to the memory of Captain Kangaroo!

[idmts1]

Hey it's Mr. Moose and Bunny Rabbit

[OhioBuckeye611]

yea I remember it in 78' oh thank you...YOU TUBE!

[sakvammen]

1986? I remember this back in 1972!

[mckbulldog02]

I can remember this show being on every day because when I was in kindergarten we had to watch it everyday at 8am and this was back in 1986.

[ledamate]

I remember watching him on TV back in 1966 before I would go to school. Black and white TV only 3 channels. No remote.

The TV took 5 minutes to warm up in the winter time.
