Man, the Captain always creeped me out. He had a child-molestor vibe going...

How sad! I loved Captain Kangaroo. I already called my mother so we could lament over his death and remember him and Mr. Moose and the ping pong balls. I didn't like Mr. Rogers when I was a child. No, it was Captain Kangaroo in my household!

Oh dear! I watched the Captain as a tyke longlongago (along with Mr. Rogers, the Friendly Giant, and Kukla Fran and Ollie) and I still have fond memories of him. But I guess they all have to go eventually...

Awwwww...that's really sad.

Wow..he was Clarabelle, too? I didn't know that.

He had one hell of a Make Kids Happy life.

*cries* I loved the captain. Bob Keeshan was wonderful. So was Bunny Raboot and Tom Terrific and Mighty Manfred the WonderDog. *cries again*

Mom will be heartbroken. She loved the guy.

Though, I must admit, I was more broken up over Fred Rogers, myself.
