Captain Kangaroo is dead.

Godspeed, Captain!! Childhood would not have been the same without you.

Amen.

:(

Sad to say I have never seen any of those shows.

But anyhow, my condolences.

That sucks, I remember watching him as a kid. :(

Ditto. He will be missed. :(

Captain Kangaroo and Mister Rogers, both gone now. Makes me sad to think they're both gone. But they'll live long yet in the hearts of those who love them.

My favorite memory of the Catain is the one where they filmed a couple of episodes in Rio de Janero or someplace like that. And there was a chase scene and the captain was driving a go-cart, and that was the first time I'd seen something like that. I later got my own because it looked fun what the captain was doing.
