RA: What else was different before I was born?
Lola: Lots Rhiannon.
Lola: The popular kids tv show was hosted by a guy named Captain Kangaroo.
RA: Weird
Lola; hey, you watch a sponge in hos underwear.
RA: True
I watched two families wearing animal skin, driving in cars with rock wheels and no seatbelts with a dogasaur … I also watched a family where the wife stole her husbands wallet when he handed her $50.
I liked the Misters Rodgers and Wizard. Cap’t Kagna was kinda annoying imo, but not NEARLY as bad as the bugged eyed rectanuglar monstrosity. O/c I saw a old episode of He-Man on Netflix a few months ago and I don’t know how I could abide that so I guess kids have a higher tolerance level.
Simpsonfan – Loved the commercial with Farfel, N-E-S-T-L-E-S, Nestles makes the very best Choooocolate! Paul Winchell was great. Cap’n Kangaroo & Mr. Greenjeans, also Princess Spring Summer Fall Winter from Howdy Doody! Robin Hood with Richard Greene and Captain Midnight!

I was too old for the Captain, but I remember Bob Keeshan as Clarabell on Hoedy Doody and Corny the Clown.

Mr. Greenjeans was super cool. His kids were in a band with Iggy Pop in the 70’s.

To Olddog1: Should be Howdy Doody, not Hoedy Doody.

To Jkissmya: I agree Captain Kangaroo beats out Sponge Bob rectangle pants hands down. Captain Kkangaroo taught kids things. Songe Bob doesn’t.

To Whmill: I agree with what you say about TV today is mostly garbage.
