View Full Version : Captan Kangaroo Bill Cahill 07-09-2006, 03:53 PM Can anybody find me any complete videos of the 50's "Captan Kangaroo" starring Bob Keeshan? It was a big favorite as a child...... Also looking for videos of any 50's tv kids shows in Detroit, and "Fireball XL 5". Thanks. Eric H 07-09-2006, 05:02 PM The complete Fireball XL5 is available on DVD: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00007J6DN/qid=1152481927/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/002-1000012-4012056?s=dvd&v=glance&n=130 Some of the used sets are pretty cheap. jonman 07-09-2006, 05:12 PM I remember a few years back seeing a DVD of Soupy Sales. I don't know if it is still available. Eric H 07-09-2006, 05:52 PM Also check out TVparty.com http://www.tvparty.com/ they have a big list of vintage TV shows. At www.tvshowsondvd.com you can check to see if something has been released and vote on what you'd like to see.

I loved that show as a kid, even had a model fireball and then built space city with one of those "Super City" building set's. I may buy it, but I can just hear the moans and groans from my wife and kid. Then again, that might be reason enough to buy it. http://www.aiai.ed.ac.uk/~bat/GA/fireball-specs.html cubdog 07-10-2006, 05:33 PM I wasn't much of a CK fan but I did like Bunny Rabbit. cubdog kdlsoft 07-10-2006, 11:04 PM Let's not forget Mr. Moose and my favorite, Mr. Greenjeans! KeninDC 07-11-2006, 09:43 AM The rabbit and moose were manic on Captain Kangaroo. prisoners 07-11-2006, 01:50 PM The best take-off of Captain Kangaroo was on SCTV (or maybe SNL-I forgot) called "Captain Combat". The sidekicks were "Gunny Rabbit" and "Mr. Green Fatigues", absolutely hilarious! The memory is sketchy but there was a LOT of gunplay and over the top violence! Anyone remember that?

Then again there was Greg The Bunny (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002PYSB0/104-5180615-2048703?v=glance&n=130) A Homage to Captain Kangaroo of sorts, a brilliant series that Fox axed because of overintelligence.
