From your childhood comes this podcast with Captain Kangaroo. Bob Keeshan created and played the title role in the children's TV program. Captain Kangaroo was the longest running kid's TV show of the day. It ran from 1955 to 1984. Bob also played Clarabell the Clown on the “Howdy Doody Show.” We had this conversation on the set of a Captain Kangaroo show filmed at Great America in Gurnee, Illinois. I was offered interviews with the cast and what they called a new up and coming actor. I turned that one down. It turned out to be a big mistake. That actor was John Ritter, who became the star of the TV sitcom “Three's Company.”

Okay, so here's the story: A grandfatherly type encourages you to read a book instead of just watching television. Ironic since this message is delivered through television!

Let's just say that the stories in the books come to life to encourage a generation take a look in a book. No, it's not THAT show.Here now is the story of how this library-turned-TV-show came to Saturday Morning. Where did this grandfatherly host come from?What this Spring-premiered show a late bloomer?What is the legacy of Bob Keeshan?All these questions, and more, will be answered in this look at CBS STORYBREAK!Thanks for ‘tooning in. Support Us: patreon.com/SaturdayMornShare Us: SatMornPod@hotmail.comTwitter Us: @SatMornPodYouTube Us: tinyurl.com/yyhpwjeo  Featured Music:“Nostalgic Happy Music” by AudioJungle - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtxSUR6MQhw&t=2s“Happy Life” by Fredji - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzQiRABVARk“I Feel You” by Kevin MacLeod” - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uw8E3jjbUCE“Nostalgic” by OrangeHead - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wExcRoNNzAc“Breakfast Club” by Vodovoz - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Spi22l3m5I“Horizons” by Atch - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-u53MADIag“80's Hijack” by Gee - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndVqzJ9Lk6M&t=26s“Synthmania” by Vodovoz - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6r20TKnA6M“United” by Vodovoz - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArjGQFCcHxA“Cool Blue” by Vodovoz - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lp5cxZWP-wc #ABC #NBC #CBS #The80s #80s #cartoons #cartoon #animation #SaturdayMorning #1980 #1981 #1982 #1983 #1984 #1985 #1986 #1987 #1988 #1989 #Filmation #HannaBarbera #DePatieFreleng #RubySpears #Disney#CaptainKangaroo #BobKeeshan #StoryBreak #books

Little kids dancing with guns and elected officials attacking the entertainment industry. No, this isn't a Texans For Trump rally, they're just the plots of the two big openers of September 17, 1976: BUGSY MALONE and THE FRONT.  Fill up your splurge gun with fresh whipped cream and get ready to answer the big question: Are you or have you ever been a member of Episode 81 of Opening Weekend?!September, 1976: the bells of liberty are ringing loudly as our young podcasters celebrate the Bicentennial with Captain Kangaroo, The Magic Garden, and McCarthyism.  Yes, the blacklist depicted in “The Front” was a terrifying time in American history, but apparently not as terrifying as Bob Keeshan's ping pong balls falling from the sky into young Dan's nightmares. Speaking of nightmares: Hey, check out little Scott Baio and that gang of screaming, violent children! And then after you leave the MAGA rally, check him out in “Bugsy Malone” too! (That joke was written by Woody Allen “fronting” for Fred). And please don't get Jason started on Mister Rogers! All this and face full of splurge on Episode 81 of Opening Weekend!

Fred discusses the positive impact that Bob Keeshan had on America's youth, whether by portraying Clarabel the Clown, or by providing morning entertainment as Captain Kangaroo.

Every hero STARTS as a CHILD, and every Child can CHOOSE to become a Hero... Just like THIS one!Bobby Keeshan was a very happy child growing up in Forest Hills, New York with his two older brothers and his baby sister. That is until he was 15 years old when his mother died. He loved his mother very much, and for a long time he just didn't know what to do. Well, he did finally finish high school, and then got a job as a messenger boy at the NBC television studios in New York. It wasn't a very good job, and he was there only a short time when World War II began. That's when Bob knew what he must do. He decided to serve his country by signing up in the United States Marine Corps. After the war was over, though, Bob went back to work for NBC. He had always cared very much about families and about children. Soon, he found himself being a helper on a children's television show called Howdy Doody. He was Clarabelle the Clown. Later, he starred in his own television show. That's when Bob Keeshan became very famous as millions of children in the 1950s began to know him as Captain Kangaroo. Then, as those children were growing up, other children in the 1960s watched him. After that, children in the 1970s and children in the 1980s still watched and loved Captain Kangaroo. As he got older, he began working with congressmen and senators to help make laws that would protect children and help children become better educated. For more than 50 years, Bob Keeshan did his best to help children all over America and in other countries, too. Yes, that little Bobby from Forest Hills, New York grew up to be Bob Keeshan, the HERO. That's what I know about the beginning of This Hero, and I know that YOU Can Be a Hero TOO!Dear Parents, After years of development, trial, and revision, we are so excited to now share with you the most effective version yet of our Proactive Bully Prevention Program that has proven to "change the culture" at hundreds of campuses across America in profound ways.

McVicker filed for a patent in 1958. However, the patent wasn't approved until January 26, 1965. By then, General Mills had purchased the company. At first Rainbow Crafts Company offered only one color – white. But soon, red, blue, and yellow followed. The company sold them by the gallon. Around the same time, McVicker was testing Play-Doh, a new children's television show began broadcasting on CBS. Bob Keeshan played the role of Captain Kangaroo. While Play-Doh's sales were nice, they weren't spectacular. McVicker had an idea. He asked Captain Kangaroo to promote his modeling clay on his show. The children's television show host agreed and the children's iconic modeling clay took off! In 1998, the Toy Hall of Fame inducted Play-Doh into its hallowed halls.

Sixty-five years ago this week, a new children's television show was launched on the CBS networok. Its creator was a man who had actually been part of the supporting cast of The Howdy Doody Show. His name was Bob keeshan. But the world knew him for decades to come as Captain Kangaroo. I actually interviewed Bob keeshan twice. This interview was the second time, in early 1995. He had written a book for a book filled with ideas for activities they can do with their kids.

SUMMARY David Kamp shines light on a bright, optimistic movement in his book, Sunny Days: The Children's Television Revolution that Changed America. When a group of progressive intellectuals, artists, and activists decided to focus on disadvantaged children, a children’s television revolution began. Driven by their agenda was to “do good,” this group also believed “the federal government could and should play a major role in early-childhood initiatives.” Fortunately, political winds blew in their sails, providing both funding and enthusiasm for a plethora of children’s television educational programming in the 60s and 70s. Meanwhile, the social sciences were also gaining credibility, adding psychological and educational underpinnings to what may have otherwise been perceived as simply silly or fluffy. With the burgeoning popularity of Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and the political will to provide free access to learning, children’s television enjoyed the “Age of Enlightenment, Jr.” Further fueling this critical movement were “media professionals, thought leaders, and politicians alike prioritizing children and education as they never had before—and in so doing, changing the lives of millions.” In short, Kamp’s Sunny Days, substantiated by interviews and research, helps paint a picture of a rare time in history when people chose to put the public good above their own careerism.

In this episode, the team ruminates over the landmark exploitation film, what it might have meant then, what it for sure means to us now, and how it changed movies for better or worse.

"Parents are the ultimate role models for children. Every word, movement, and action has an effect. No other person or outside force has a greater influence on a child than the parent." - Bob Keeshan   Sara & Misasha are the co-hosts of Dear White Women, a social justice podcast exploring race, identity, happiness, and more in the United States. Our personal drive to leave this world a better place for our children became the impetus for this show, and each episode builds on our shared core beliefs in the humanity of all people and that we rise by lifting others.  In a nutshell: we are best friends who met when we were walking out of a racial identity conversation (we’re both half-White and half-Japanese) as undergraduates at Harvard. Misasha is married to a Black man, is a lawyer, amateur historian, and Megaformer fitness coach; Sara is married to a White Canadian, and is a life coach, positive psychology aficionado, and happiness consultant - and together, we have four very mixed-race school-aged children. Our podcast highlights the uncomfortable conversations that we've been having with each other for years, as we hope that the journey that we're on to be and do better can be one that others can relate to, in figuring out what matters and what you're willing to do about it.    In this episode, I talk with Sara & Misasha about: Why it's important to have diverse conversations How to have sensitive conversations with your children How to actively talk to your kids about race   Check out Sara & Misasha's website here: www.dearwhitewomen.com Sign up for the ALIVE event in February: www.heatherchauvin.com/alive Continue the conversation on Instagram @momisincontrol    

10/18/2019 In one of Garage Logic's best guests ever, Captain Kangaroo, Bob Keeshan, joins Joe in studio. In this 1996 interview, we learn a lot, even a few not well known secrets from the show. It was Rookie's favorite guest EVER!

Hosts Chris and Steve discuss the career of Lynnbrook native Bob Keeshan, better known to generations of kids as Captain Kangaroo.

(EDITOR’S NOTE — Today, June 27, 2016, would have been the 89th birthday of the great CBS-TV children’s TV host, Bob Keeshan, better known to the Baby Boomer generation as “Captain Kangaroo.” Keeshan passed away in 2004, and I’ve spent years trying to recover the telephone interview I did with him as a St. Petersburg Times correspondent, published September 19, 1984. I’m pleased to say I finally found it and upgraded the audio quality. You can now read the interview as published or, for the first time ever, listen to our actual conversation. I hope you’ll enjoy this classic edition of Mr. Media and share it with your friends and family. — Bob Andelman)

Today's Guest: Captain Kangaroo, a.k.a., Bob Keeshan, long-time CBS morning host for children's television   (EDITOR'S NOTE -- Today, June 27, 2016, would have been the 89th birthday of the great CBS-TV children's TV host, Bob Keeshan, better known to the Baby Boomer generation as "Captain Kangaroo." Keeshan passed away in 2004, and I've spent years trying to recover the telephone interview I did with him as a St. Petersburg Times correspondent, published September 19, 1984. I'm pleased to say I finally found it and upgraded the audio quality. You can now read the interview as published or, for the first time ever, listen to our actual conversation. I hope you'll enjoy this classic edition of Mr. Media and share it with your friends and family. -- Bob Andelman) When it comes to children's television, Captain Kangaroo is a man who knows what he's talking about. And what the soft-spoken Captain is discussing these days is the scarcity of quality network programing provided for kids. Captain Kangaroo, a.k.a. Bob Keeshan, will address the subject at a free lecture at the University of South Florida's Cooper Hall auditorium, CPR 103 (College of Arts and Letters, Tampa campus), on Thursday at 8 p.m. He was last here in 1976, taping segments of the program at Busch Gardens. His appearance corresponds to the end of the Captain's nearly 30 years on CBS. The end has been in sight for some time. In January 1982, some CBS affiliates such as Tampa's WTVT-Ch. 13 dropped the weekday morning Captain Kangaroo Show (it was picked up briefly by WFTS Ch. 28). Later that year, CBS Morning News was lengthened and for the first time the Captain could only be seen on Saturday and Sunday mornings. For a short time even the name and format of his show was changed, to the fast-paced Wake Up. UNTIL December, the Captain Kangaroo Show continues on weekend mornings, al­ though it has been unavailable in Tampa Bay for some time. After the first of the year, the future of the Captain, Mr. Greenjeans, Mr. Moose and Grandfather Clock is uncertain. BOB KEESHAN podcast excerpt: "I feel very strongly that I'm able to take that role as advocate and let people know how strongly I feel that society needs to do a better job nurturing people.." You can LISTEN to this 1984 interview with BOB KEESHAN, host of CAPTAIN KANGAROO, by clicking the audio player above! "We are searching for a time period on public television, where we hope we will be on Monday to Friday and reach the audience that the program has been designed and produced for over the many years. I think there's a very strong chance," Keeshan said in a recent telephone interview from his New York office. The people involved in making decisions at CBS have displeased Keeshan but he says they are doing "what they have to do. If the FCC didn't tell them they were free to do what they wanted to do, they would make other decisions. But with that unshackling of responsibility, the stockholders have got to get their due, as much money as they possibly can. That's the bottom line. "I might have some strong feelings about the FCC and their doctrinaire feelings about letting the marketplace function and take care of children. God knows the marketplace certainly will take care of children but not the way we expect it to," he adds. "WE'VE BEEN talking to PBS, and they have nothing but enthusiasm for the project. The key factor really is the finding of underwriting for it. Public television is not a very wealthy system. They have a great deal of difficulty financing their operations, especially since (President
 Reagan) has seen fit to veto the latest
appropriation for public television.
They're in difficult straits, so we have
to find corporate underwriting.
We're seeking a far-sighted company
that feels strongly about the future of
the nation to the extent that (the
way) we nurture children through
television is important...
