Red and Rover by Brian Basset for February 20, 2010

Red’s kidding… isn’t he?

I sure hope so! Awesome guys!

Really, Red? Bummer!

Has Captain Kangroo (a great show by the way) been on the air anywhere in the past 15 years?

and the grandfather clock is not a grandfather and the bunny rabbit is a hand puppet ….and tom terrific and mighty manfred are animated characters……

sigh…

We actually had some green children’s records, 78rpm, with songs about a character named Lil’ ”Orley, They were recorded by Lumpy Greene, who my mom said was the actor who played Mr Greenjeans.

There was a Jeoprady question once which asked:

Who was the villan in the tom terrific cartoons?

I know. Do you remember?

Shh, don’t tell him that Mr. Rogers isn’t his neighbor either.

I never did watch Captain Kangaroo… or Mr Rogers. I preferred The Addams Family and the Munsters.

Burgundy2 I remember The Friendly Giant and Mr. Dressup. But then I’m a Canadian, too.

as a fellow Canadian, so do i. i always loved the song “early one morning” which he played as the theme, and was surprised to find there were lyrics to it when i started school and had music class.

@ellisaana: thanks to google and wiki I do. Couldn’t remember and had to go look it up. That’s what age will do for you.

I had a crush on Captain Kangaroo. And also the Friendly Giant. I was fickle, I guess.

But I didn’t appreciate Mr. Dressup until I was in my teens. Go figure.

I think I liked the Friendly Giant for his music. Anyone remember which show played “A Mighty Fortress is our God?” I’m fuzzy on the details.

@saucy1121:

yes, age is fickle. why do we remember Crabby Appleton, but can’t find our glasses or keys?

..he’s too young to remember Capt.Planet…
