Got me stumped there Monk.  I remember the original show from 38 years ago.  They sure don't make 'em like they used to.  That looks like a fireman's cap the Captain is wearing.

But my memory is kinda fuzzy.  I think Capt. Kangaroo was a fireman, wasn't he?   Mr. Greenjeans was a farmer, I remember that.

Does anyone here remember?  Now you got me thinking about it Monk.  LOL

man I miss those old shows.  The only decent kids shows on now are animaniacs and recess.

Back in highschool a freind of mine once told me "You can tell you're too high, when you start to come down and realise your're watching Captain Kangaroo,  'cause man, it's not on anymore"

 it was some little 5 min cartoon that came on Capt. Kangaroo in the mid to late 70's.  It was to promote proper oral hygene :)  Toothopolis was somebodies teeth and they were always fighting evil bacteria that were trying to break down the walls of Toothopolis (the teeth)

Late 70's!?

I was watching the Kaptain in the early 60's. Y'all are babies.

We had some good crap to watch here in CA. Diver Dan, Engineer Bill, Sherrif John, Hobo Kelly, Paul Winchell Show (with knucklehead smith), and of course the Kaptain. Who was called Kangaroo because he had so many pockets.

They look like a bunch of poster children for pederasty.

No way in hell they would get anywhere near my kids.


Edit: He was probably called Kangeroo because he liked to jump children.

No and Frank Zappa was NOT his son.

Mr. Green Jeans - Hugh "Lumpy" Brannum starred as Mr. Green Jeans, the chief aide to Captain Kangaroo (Bob
               Keeshan) at the Treasure House on the successful children's program CAPTAIN KANGAROO/CBS/1955-84. Mr. Green
               Jeans got his name from the clothes he wore (a green pair of farmer overalls), and because of his interest with the
               outdoors. He visited the Captain with a variety of interesting items, including cute little animals. Before his long running
               role on CAPTAIN KANGAROO, Hugh Brannun had been the host of his own local New York Show entitled UNCLE
               LUMPY'S CABIN in the early 1950s. The series was described in a letter to the New York Times as "a composite or
               synthesis of the old-time values we all like our children to know." Bob Keeshan joined the show as an advisor after he had
               a dispute with his employers at the HOWDY DOODY SHOW (he had played Clarabell the Clown). Keeshan's and
               Brannum's professional relationship endured over three decades. On April 22, 1987, Hugh Brannum died of cancer at his
               home in Sailorsburg, Pennsylvania. He was 77 years old.

The guy on the left was Mr. Bainter the Painter!  C'mon guys how can you forget the important stuff like that.  

I sometimes wonder what I might be able to do if my head wasn't filled with old song lyrics, commercial jingles and other worthless crap.

I remember he had this scratchy "hard night at the liquor lounge" voice.  I had forgotten about him until I saw that photo.

Toothopolis was the Crest commercial.  I can still hear that siren whenever I see the box: "Cre-est! Cre-est!"

There's another kid show that was sponsored by Colgate toothpaste.  I thought it was Captain Kangaroo, but it'd be strange to have competitors on the same program.  The host would use this huge cardboard box that looked like a big version of the normal toothpaste wrapper, but had a giant key in the side and the host would turn the key and it would play the jingle "Colgate Flouride MFP, keeps your teeth clean naturally!"

 They used to show a segment of this on Cpt. Kangaroo.  I believe it was in the 80's.  I remember seeing it when my step brothers and sisters were watching Cpt. Kang.....

Slightly off-topic, but, I remember being on a local kids TV show in Minneapolis called "The Casey Jones Show", with "Popeye and Pete".  :)  My 15 seconds of fame was taking out goodies in a bag that every kid got, and holding it up for the camera while the announcer explained the product (probably paid advertisement to keep the show running).

I still have my GiJoes(well the ones I didn't blow up with firecrackers when I was 11 ;)  )  I even have some of the gear, though it's in prety bad shape.  I have the case that folds out into the checkpoint and also the deapsea diving rig.  
I had all that crap when I was 10.  

sure wish my favorite toys where still that cheap

Yeah I still got two of 'em myself.

The black haired "soldier" (dressed in camo fatigues) and the blond haired "pilot" dressed in orange overalls.

The cool thing about em is that every joint moved, unlike the "action figures" of today's youth.

My kids used to play with em, til I put em GIJoe into retirement to save him for posterity.

My wife used to ask my oldest son when he was little "how much do you love me?" then when he's stretch his arms wide, she'd tickle him on his ribs... well, it didn't take too long before when asked "how much do you love me?" he'd hold up GIJoe's little hand and say "this much."
(GIJoe had his hand shaped like his was describing an inch to someone.)

GI Joe - I bought the Korea War Pilot big one some years back during the post-Christmas sales and smuggled it out of the store like it was porno - "Its not for me...".  Now its on my bookcase giving me the evil eye when I'm not flying.  I can almost imagine it saying "Get yer butt up there, mister!  And fight like a man!"

Here is a bit of history I bet you didn't know......

Dialog From a Tonight Show ... Johnny Carson ...  His guest was Lee
Marvin.


 

Johnny said, "Lee, I'll bet a lot of people are unaware that you were a
Marine in the initial landing at Iwo Jima ... and that during the course
of that action you earned the Navy Cross and were severely wounded."

And you know how Lee was ..."Yeah, yeah ... I got shot square in the bellybutton
and they gave me the cross for securing a hot spot about halfway up
Suribachi ... Bad thing about getting shot up on a mountain is guys gettin'
shot hauling you down.

But Johnny at Iwo I served under the bravest man I ever knew ... We
both got the Cross the same day but what he did for his Cross made mine
look  cheap in comparison.

The dumb bastard actually stood up on Red Beach and directed his troops
to move forward and get the hell off the beach. That Sergeant and I have
been life long friends.




When they brought me off Suribachi we passed the Sergeant and he lit a
smoke and passed it to me lying on my belly on the litter ...

"Where'd they get you Lee?"...

"Well, Bob ... if you make it home before me, tell Mom to sell the
outhouse.....Johnny, I'm not lying ...Sergeant Keeshan was the bravest man
I ever Knew... ...Sergeant Bob Keeshan ...


 

You and the world only know him as Captain Kangaroo."

Origins:   We can't say for sure whether Lee Marvin ever told the story described above to Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show (Marvin was a guest on the show seven times during Carson's tenure as host), but the details of the anecdote are undeniably false.

Lee Marvin did enlist in the U.S. Marines and saw action in the Pacific during World War II, and he was wounded (in the buttocks) by fire which severed his sciatic nerve. However, this injury occurred during the battle for Saipan in June 1944, not the battle for Iwo Jima, which took place several months later in February 1945.

Bob Keeshan, later famous as television's "Captain Kangaroo" also enlisted in the U.S. Marines, but too late to see any action during World War II. Keeshan was born on 27 June 1927 and enlisted two weeks before his 18th birthday, months too late to have taken part in the fighting at Iwo Jima. A 1997 interview with Keeshan noted that he "later enlisted in the U.S. Marines, but saw no combat" because, as Keeshan said, his enlistment "was just before we dropped the atom bomb."

Yes, but didn't Mr Greenjeans develop the plutonium refining techniques at Oak Ridge National Laboratories during the Manhattan Project?
