A sad day at the Treasure House

Bob Keeshan -- Forever, The Captain

One of the television greats from WWP's childhood, Captain Kangaroo, died today. WWP fondly recalls watching the oddly coiffed, strangly clad captain on the old Hoffmann black-and-white TV in the basement. The Treasure House and its guests were a part of WWP's day while growing up: lovable Bunny Rabbit, Mr. Moose, Grandfather Clock (weird, but not scary), and of course, the friendly Mr. Green Jeans. [Read short biography here.]

Along with Mister Rogers, there must be some incredible children's programming going on upstairs right about now.

[Update: Jack Bog's Blog also has a nice tribute today, here.]
