This is the opening used in the video releases that Bob Keeshan released in 1984 and 1985, when the show was between homes.

  • THIS i the intro i grew up with. i believe they played it when it moved over to PBS right?

    im wondering if anyone can help me with a segment ive been trying remember for a very very long time.

    i am now fairly certain it was on Captain Kangaroo, because of the claymation that can be seen at the very beginning of this clip.

    in this segment there are a bunch of happy lil clay blobs running around, having fun, each of them a different color. red, blue, yellow, orange, purple, maybe others. (1/2)

  • GREAT SONG!!! So catchy, so upbeat, really brings back lots of fond memories with Mr. Moose, Bunny Rabbit, Dennis, and Cathy ;)

    I just hope this makes it to DVD some day,

    with all the constant unpredictible crap on tv nowadays, where's quality tv when you want to see it (or the FCC to act up and do something about it for that matter)?

  • @ColdColdToronto Yep, makes sense.

  • awesome show an awesome time =]

  • @jaklumen The title card says "Captain Kangaroo and His Friends" here because this was the opening of the video release with that title. This particular montage was NOT used on CBS or PBS, but the PBS version had the same theme song. This opening montage was created for the dozen or so video releases Bob Keeshan released in the mid-80's.

  • @jaklumen

    thank you! at least someone else remembers it... even if vaguley

  • I don't remember the "Captain Kangaroo and Friends" title. I remember a version that spliced in the ending title segment from the 1970's "Good Morning Captain" run (the cartoon Captain rolls in the o's in "Kangaroo" for the title).

  • @pokinsmot I think I remember what you're referring to, but I'm not sure where to find it, exactly. There is a small possibility it might have been featured on Sesame Street as well-- many of the creative minds that worked on Captain Kangaroo worked there, too.

  • This theme was actually written by Lynn Ahrens of "Schoolhouse Rock" fame.

  • This is the song I remember from Captain Kangaroo!

  • R.I.P Bob Keeshan.

  • Oh My God, I'm Having A Nostalgia Overload.
