Captan Kangaroo
 

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.

The complete Fireball XL5 is available on DVD:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...v=glance&n=130

Some of the used sets are pretty cheap.

I remember a few years back seeing a DVD of Soupy Sales. I don't know if it is still available.

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.

xl5 is 49 bucks at deepdiscountdvd, a lot cheaper than amazon. 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.

I wasn't much of a CK fan but I did like Bunny Rabbit.

Let's not forget Mr. Moose and my favorite, Mr. Greenjeans!

The rabbit and moose were manic on Captain Kangaroo.

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 A Homage to Captain Kangaroo of sorts, a brilliant series that Fox axed because of overintelligence.

Thanks, guys, for all your help. Just still Cant' find Captain Kangaroo. But, alot of other good stuff, though. Thanks!!!!

I saw two DVDs (2 shows on each DVD) on Ebay. Obviously unauthorized.
