RIP - Captain Kangaroo Man. Bob Keeshan died on Friday. He hosted Captain Kangaroo, which ran for 30 years every weekday morning. I was a huge fan, and had a pair of green Toughskins as a kid, inspired by Mr. Green Jeans (the right-hand man). The guy was a national treasure. Here's a good link from the Clown Ministry, and another one.
